I liked to draw when I was a kid, but unfortunately there was no good art teacher around me at that time, so my life took another direction - I graduated as an IT engineer. But in my 30s my attention turned to art again. Science is a great thing to get to know the world, but art is another wonderful aspect of life. So I started to learn drawing on my own finding the best teachers and resources. Through creation you can make connection to something greater than us as I realized later in the learning process. I've decided to share this knowledge with other people. I encourage you to believe that you don't need to be born for creating great artworks. Learn to draw with me , have some fun and become a more creative person.

Amazing

Esta genial explicado y se aprende mucho
By Beatriz Fernndez on 12/13/2020
De momento me gusta bastante y siento que estoy aprendiendo correctamente. El nico fallo, si es que se le puede llamar as, es que no hay una traduccin del curso a otros idiomas como el espaol. De igual manera, lo entiendo perfectamente ya que vocaliza y habla muy bien adems, estn los subttulos en ingls.

It felt a little confusing on the foreshortening and I had to keep pausing to see what was happening. All in all very informative though!
