I love love the tutorials. My suggestion is when doing the lessons please let us know what size of brush and the opacity when changing brushes. I also have a hard time making squiggly lines and feel like I would definitely benefit from a class that lets us go from perfection/straight lines.
Thank you for this illustration…i know two years later… love the colors
