By Varca Amos on 10/15/2020

Very nice course. It is perfect for a beginner.

By Mez Mez on 10/15/2020

I'm a hobbyist of an intermediate level, just looking to improve what I do. I've not been to art school and so missed out a lot of the theory that underpins good drawing so I was looking for a course to introduce me to some of those concepts. This course was really good. I've picked up several helpful tips that have improved my work already. I particularly liked the lectures on form (boxes - I'll never look at them in the same way again!) and the longer lectures following the end-to-end creation of an image. I would recommend this course to any beginner artist.

By M Yim on 10/13/2020

Yes, it was amazing!! I'm a pretty awful artist to start with, so this course has been super helpful!! Tysm >w
