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.

I had a general knowlage how to messure since I took some other courses but on theother courses it was not so clearly explained. 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
