Complete Figure Drawing Course for Beginners and Reentries (Udemy.com)

This course should be called “Complete Female Figure Drawing Course For Beginners”. While I appreciate the price point when compared to other figure drawing courses on Udemy, the course is incomplete. There are major differences when comparing male and female bodies that must be taken into consideration when figure drawing, and as a female I’m already familiar with the soft lines of the female shape. I am equally if not more so interested in learning the harder angles associated with the masculine form. This was a disappointing realization after paying for the course.

His approach to building a strong foundation for drawing techniques is fun, and just the right pace and approach. This guy is a teacher. Learning a lot of new skills. His accent trips me out in a good way. Fun guy to watch and follow along or simple techniques I often get lost in a find a page full of with a review waiting. Safe to take in chunks or bounce around classes and pick up anywhere for the most part to.

There was a lot of info on the materials foundation and it was hard to catch the brand names. A PDF handout to go with this module would be super helpful. Thanks!

Its quite concerning that this was originally listed for 60 dollars... The sections do not feel connected to each other AT ALL and they aren't really good explanations for stuff like shadow/gesture in a vacuum. Not much here besides a list of things to learn on your own which are frustratingly spaced over 10 hours... I don't like to hate but this was really disappointing and it feels like I got punished for trusting the instructor to actually use the techniques that he promises will be built upon.

I love this course so far. His voice is so meditative and the pace he has us going is perfect. I'm an experienced illustrator, but I'm on a quest to know how to draw in the classical style and perfect my understanding of anatomy. Even if I still do more illustrative/comic style, it's just better to learn from masters like him

It is an extraordinary course. I never thought to be able to draw figures in such an easy way. Books about figure drawing tell you many things except how to draw a figure from life or photo. Yes, once you can do what U do teaches you all those books are usefull. You know now! (I recommend it and I go to work on his second course: Get the hang on gesture. Thanks Udo. I´VE LEARNT A LOT.

Drawing the human figure always felt a bit discouraging for me. With this course Udo helped me not to regard the figure as a whole but seeing it as a structre of basic shapes everybody can draw. I work mostly digital but the analog approach was just the right way to get me started and I have no problems applying what I've learned in my software.

I really appreciate how patient the author is. It feels like he is giving you an insight to a wonderful world of craftsmanship. This is refreshing, specially in a world we are seemed to immerse ourselves into a digital world. Although Rutschmann's exercises could easily applied on an Ipad pad with an I-pencil as well. Great Value and feel privileged to learn a new skill. Thank you

I really enjoyed the course - the approach the instructor is using is easy to follow and very well-structured - Apart from that I enjoyed the different modules so far a lot - I still have a long way to go - but it is fun! 5 STARS for this course!

This course is excellent! it is perfect for beginners and reentries. Everything is explained very well and the course helps me a lot to learn better to draw. Udo is an excellent teacher! Thanks to the very good instructions, I am now able to draw much better than before. Thank you very much!
