Eliza Ivanova shows off her drawing style, skipping construction lines and going straight for the final lines using a mechanical pencil and blending stump. She focuses on silhouette-based drawing, influenced by her Pixar experience, and blends realistic shading with stylized silhouettes. She also talks about live drawing, anatomy, tips on using references, and developing your own style.
