Learn to Draw Pretty Faces for Comic Books (Udemy.com)

Very useful, the instructor, Neil Fontaine, is super excited about this topic and it shows, great length and boils down into simple templates to start from. I would recommend this course after you take a basic portrait so you can compare the comic templates to "real life" templates but it is not necessary. Course moves at a good pace. I also found doing the exercises he suggests to be very beneficial before going on to the next lesson.

Very decent course. It gave me what I was looking for, which was how to draw faces - and most importantly, the proportions needed to draw an harmonious female face. Of course, in 3 hours you don't go in-depth into anatomy (I have other courses for that, and also you're drawing comic books faces, not realistic ones) but it gave me solid basics and was plenty enough for what I wanted to do. I knocked one star though because I missed the lack of diversity in the features. Sure, comic books features tend to be similar but sometimes I felt like he was drawing the same face with different hairstyles. The 3/4 section graze that a bit, but I found it lacking for the front and profile view. Otherwise it's a good course. I recommend it.

Drawing women is something that I wanted to practice working on, especially faces. This course provided some useful tips, that I feel I can use. For example, the section on getting the proportions right helped a whole lot. This was a good course, and I would recommend it.

The course is excellent. I am learning tips on how to draw parts of the face that have in the past been very difficult for me.

Great for a beginner

I'm 45 now. I've been drawing off and one since I was in elementary school many many years ago, but I've never really taken any classes to really put me to where I want to be. I've never been great at drawing faces. Not out of my own head especially. I'm only about 35% of my way through the course now and I can already see a 100% improvement on my facial drawings. So, first of all....take the course. I highly recommend it. Second of all....do exactly what he says. If he says draw 100 eyes....draw 100 eyes. I numbered every single one that I drew. Then I compared my final ones with the first ones that I drew and I'm telling you....I was impressed with the difference. The only other thing I recommend is to draw sets of eyes. Don't just draw 100 left eyes or 100 right eyes. Draw 100 sets of eyes left and right. I think that's actually what he meant, but my first 40 or so where just right eyes. Then when I tried to draw the left....I had to start all over again training my hand. He has other courses out there and I've purchased several and I can't wait to get started on them once I'm finished with this one.

I think I need to work my way up to it, but I like it.

I really like this course so far, I'm
excited to learn what's next.....

It taught me much which i can use in my comics in the future

Enjoying learning

This course was extremely effective and beneficial - not just toward meeting the objective of the course (drawing sexy comic faces), but also to my overall skill set and understanding of spacial relationships in the human face. There were a couple reasons this course greatly exceeded my expectations:
1. Mr. Fontaine is a talented artist, but more important, he understands teaching methodology. The part/whole approach and detailed breakdown of each micro component ensured that the final macro product was seamless.
2. Most components offered more than one suggestion for how to approach construction. For example, he demonstrates several different techniques for noses, not just the one he prefers. I found that it was very easy for me to develop my own style while advancing through the course.
At any rate, I was shocked at how quickly my skills (which had a solid 20-year layer of dust and not really that great to begin with) progressed. For me, it was the perfect mix of advanced and fundamental theory.
