I now share my knowledge in digitalart and computer software through onlineplatforms such as Udemy and have a growing Youtube channel as well.

I learn a lot and I finally know how to draw every each body parts. It truly help my art style be more better, even without knowing the body anatomy that much. This course gave me a lot tips and tricks on how I can draw a person properly. Though I got a bit of a habit of drawing from slender people to buff. Xd.
