it's kind of in my wheelhouse

It's off to a good start. I've been drawing for a long time. I've illustrated my own poetry book, Pet Poetry, which I self-published on Amazon. I'm hoping this class will give me some tip on how to improve upon the skills I already have and help me to become a more professional illustrator and expand on more career opportunities.
After completing the course, I feel that I already knew most of what was covered in the videos, so for me as an experienced artist, I see it as a refresher course. I certainly would recommend it for beginners.

Im Moment kann ich noch nicht viel ber den Kurs sagen, da er noch am Anfang ist.

Its a great course up until now. There are some Flash issues but cant blame that on the course though but it is a bit bothering. A little more demos could've also helped in understanding the workflow of a piece though. All in all good job

I am timid when it comes to my drawings. I am a novice writer and want to add illustrations that pop. The course has only just begun but I see my potential and skills set already increasing. This course is for me.

Really helpful, thank you Brendan!

So far, it's been great. Some things are basic, but I've never had a formal education in drawing/illustration so it's covering a lot of gaps that I have in my knowledge of technique.
Looking forward for more!

This course is a perfect match for me. At the start of this second lecture, I didn't know digital drawing tablets existed. By the end of this lecture, I had already purchased the UGEE M708 Graphics Tablet ($59.99) on Amazon.com.

This is a excellent illustration course. It helps improve my visual learning abilities to better at drawing illustrations having mild autism. I have been drawing illustrations of southwestern landscapes for almost 30 years. This will help me improve my mild autistic traits on the the right side of the brain. Many people from moderate to mild autism love to design illustrations of there own thinking on right side of the brain. Thank you. Scott David Schoenfeld.

Finding the intro all way too long. What has taken two videos could have been explained in 5 minutes. That said I am happy to continue. I get a sense that he is a good teacher. Sort of coming together. I am getting used to the teaching style. A bit more technique and a bit less chat. Too conscious of what other people 'think' or 'may' think about how he describes something. Its a drawing, it is what it is. Don't limit your vocabulary based on what some snowflake might be offended by. Hey, you might offend me by not saying things like it is. ;-) That was a wink. :-)
