Vent: Did you learn anything from the tutorial?

Figure: Eye, eye, captain!

Vent: Do you think I needed that?

Figure: Eye, eye!

Vent: Why?

Figure: Steve needed at least two pupils for this tutorial.

Vent: I give it a thumbs up for the thumb pushing idea.

Figure: Well, at least that's thumb thing.

Vent: And a thumbs up for the tip on drawing along the edge of the secret square...

Figure: I love that show!

Vent: For animals I draw the line at the bottom of the eye, disney style. So there is a line and an archway to form an eye.

Figure: I don't get it.

Vent: That's why a video is good.

Figure: Well, if my hands worked I would give a thumbs up for the British guy's idea.

Vent: You mean where you draw a large pupil and then erase it to show the smaller pupil hidden underneath?

Figure: Yeah! That looks tricky!

Vent: That's three thumbs up for this video.

Figure: Eye, eye! Sounds good. Just make sure you don't use your right thumb.

Vent: Why?

Figure: You might give me a headache.

Steve Cool Tutorial, I saw it with Lindsay (9yr old daughter) and she liked it.
She actually has the small version of the talking board and once in a while she pulls it out to practice. Thank you for adding that tutorial. Yoly

Thanks Yoly!

When you do your tutorials I enjoy them you make them look fun and easy, and of course we see the fun you are having the your expressions in your eyes and on your face. Your videos are also so helpful and easy to enjoy because we see a master at work. Thank you again for being you.

Thanks NJ - I know that entertainers like you and I are visual. Web video is such a great tool for communicating. Flash video makes it so easy to watch... I'm glad we have this technology.

Thank you SO MUCH for the tutorial. I have been struggling with the eye drawing techniques since I got it. Because I am only 15, my hands are smaller, therefore turning the board back to me to "draw" the eyes is a problem because my hand does not fully cover the gimmicks. Thank you so much for all of the new ways to "draw" the eyes.

Matt like anything else thats new "Go Slow" Do a short skit with it and as you begin to feel good with it, you will begin to experiment and be able to move more freely...Good Luck
