Almost useless. The instructor just keeps drawing and drawing. No technical tips. Why or how we know that someone's nose is larger or chin is shorter etc. There should be some measurements or any tip which would help us notice which part of the face is to be drawn bigger and which one shorter. There are hundreds and hundreds of such videos on youtube.

I have fun watching and listening to Henri's way of thinking to observe the facial features. A lot of important details where shared on how to approach the images. Ready to practice a lot and think more of a cartoonish way of drawing.

I really enjoyed taking this course, even if I'm not very good at drawing portraits, this course enabled me to look at human faces in a different way. I would also recommand it to anyone interested in graphic design ! Thank you so much !

By Nigel Willis on 2/27/2022

Having completed the caricature master class, I am super impressed with the style, humour and speed of the instructor. The workflow taught in this course has enabled me to get much more caricature work completed. I'd love another twenty minutes or so added for full body caricature design. Overall, utterly brilliant!

By Andy Coe on 8/3/2021

Whilst there is no doubt about the artists amazing capabilities, there is little underlying explanation of proportions, styles of features such as eyes, nose, mouth, forehead, chin etc. This course is ok for established artists but not for beginners.

By Rodney Ronquillo on 6/15/2021

So far I am liking this course. I can draw cartoons, but caricature has always been a challenge and a struggle, that is, until he brought me back to the basics of planning out the form and skeletal portions of the face and head. From there, that's where I can start making the deformations in the skeletal form as a guide, which helps with planning out and sketching the deformations. I'm really glad I've invested in this course. I'm only in the 2nd chapter and already this is really valuable. Glad to have bought this.

By Derk de Kloet on 5/20/2021

This class is hilarious! I always wanted to learn how to draw caricatures and Henri Goldsmann made it possible. It is informative and funny as well and Henri explains the lessons very clearly. I highly recommend this cartoon Caricature Masterclass class to anyone.
