Cons

    • This is one of the most accessible tutorials on YouTube. It’s very easy to follow successfully.
    • Students will see rapid improvement in their drawing skills, maintaining a high level of encouragement throughout.
    • Course does not stop with static human figures. It covers dynamic poses as well.
    • Course does not step outside of the “human” topic. Students will not learn how to draw in general.
    • Course is built on a specific approach to drawing. Artists who are trying to expand their repertoire will be frustrated.
    • Despite being a short tutorial, lessons will feel slow at times.

Thank you! Honestly, I never thought I needed to hear Michael's story. Turns out there are so many of us who can relate to Michael. I've been drawing for years, from traditional to digital and now I feel like I need to go back to traditional so I can keep up and master the fundamentals of drawing.

I'd really like to thank you and your co-instructor, Michael, for the amazing drawing lessons. I think I'm able to draw much better human sketches and within no time, I've seen significant progress in the same. Thanks again!

Wow! Thanks! This was really inspiring and it helped me to understand that I need to learn the basics first instead of just charging in!

As a complete beginner who has never touched a pencil properly. Part one was actually extremely helpful for me. Why all the complaints? The guy was clearly telling us not to rush.

I like this. Although the first video didn't actually cover any drawing, it helped me get a better idea of how important the fundamentals are.
