TUTORIAL // Warmups & exercises for improving your skills (Patreon)

Allright, here’s the tutorial that got the most votes in the poll: Warmups & exercises to improve your skills! It was such a totally different topic from the previous ones which made it really fun to do, even if I created some really bad art for it. Hope y’all can forgive me for the weird donkey sketch.
