This is the foundation of good, flexible, spontaneous drawing. Mr. Eviston does not waste time showing you how to draw a specific subject in proportion, but rather how to draw ANY subject in proportion. If you're really interested in learning to draw as a skill and not just drawing gimmicky projects, please consider taking this course to improve your proportion skills. It is invaluable. Not to mention, the production quality and instructor clarity are excellent. Thanks for these series, Brent!

This course was very enlightening and stimulating and I really did learn so much - I’d recommend putting in the extra practice because quite often that was when the breakthrough in understanding the concepts and techniques happened and what I had been learning started to become second nature, which was exciting and very rewarding ..

By Ravindra Muley on 11/27/2020

I have found the course to be very systematic. Brent teaches in a very systematic way, going in steps, building upon the previous lectures, and in the end consolidating on it in totality. He is very thorough and I have liked his teaching very much. I have taken seven of his courses, but would be happy to continue with him if he has other courses to offer.

By Keisha on 10/18/2020

good course by far but the info wasn't what I was hoping to learn and a bit too basic and not enough content.

By Deb Gohain on 10/16/2020

All lessons were very useful in learning to draw objects free hand with knowledge imparted on angle sighting and triangulation methods.

The insructed is super clear and offersnreally easy to understand insturctions it made me purchase some more of his courses. I wanted to learn about triangulation and angles and it was explained super well the course is short and I would prefer more examples but all together im super happy with the results
