Through this practice, we will find that shapes and contrasts that we have always taken for granted are actually components and basic skills for advanced performance in design, painting, animation, film, and more in composition.

It is recommended that you use a larger and thicker brush to practice it so that it would reduce the possibility of portraying the details!!
