  • Hi there, your tuts are very good and are easy to follow. Ever heard of the TV series Storm Hawks? I know the series is old, ( bout six years old ) but I'm a Storm Hawks fan and I have a hard time trying to draw the characters right. Could you make a few tuts on some Storm Hawks character pls?

    • I recognize the cartoon but I don't think I've ever seen it before. I will put it on my list and try to get to it soon, but no promises because I have a class that is eating up a lot of time right now.
