This is the third course I have undergone from Mathew. His instructions are easy to understand, videos are professionally made and the ebooks provided make the process simpler.
My complements to Mathew for designing such a wonderful course and keeping it affordable.
Looking forward to doing the colour pencil course next.
Highly recommend for beginners and intermediate learners.

To really take advantage of the course is recommended that you follow step by step the exercises, otherwise is not different to watching some other free tutorial videos

After completing Fussells course on colour pencil drawing, I was kicked for this course. I had all the requisite materials ready, but the number of lessons was very minimal. Usage of nib pens for example was hardly covered except for in the one Portrait lesson. Expected a bit more comprehensive course.

Really enjoying the explanations of technique in the dialog while drawing. The varied textures on the cubes was really enlightening.

Yes

By Daniel Vasconcelos Gomes on 8/14/2020

O curso no entra em profundidade somente se limita a demonstrar as tecnicas. Em duas aulas o instrutor usa o relevo de uma foto para desenhar ao invs de desenhar efetivamente.
