Save referenceDesired Outcome
Three drawings of the same head go from a few straight lines to a finished portrait. That shows artists the result they want and hints it all starts with the rough first stage. BLOCK IN PROCESS names that stage for artists who know the term.
'ALL your portraits' promises one step improves every drawing, not just one, and 'THIS STEP' holds back which step, which the thumbnail then names.
Numbering the stages 1, 2 and 3 in teal makes the progression read left to right at a glance, and the rough first sketch looks doable for any learner.
When a skill builds in stages, show the same piece at three stages, numbered left to right, from rough to finished. Hold the step back in the title and name it in the thumbnail for people who know the term.
Show the same work at three numbered stages, rough to finished.
Apply this pattern to your next video.
Bring the reference into a packaging brief, then decide what your title and thumbnail should each communicate.
