I have done only a few lessons so far, and they were perfect. perfect pacing, easy to follow, very simple and effective techniques; in many cases I got something pleasant on the first try, even though I am almost a total beginner. I hope the next lessons are just as good. It's impressive that the course covers so much; I was looking for a class that covers material drawing, and this is that plus object and even figure drawing. Great stuff!

Saygıdeğer öğretmenim, yavaş yavaş ve anlayabileceğimiz şekilde her adımı ingilizce bilmesek dahi, göstermiş olduğunuz stilleri rahatlıkla anlayabildim. Vermiş olduğunuz örneklerde inanılmaz güzel, Tamamiyle boyama sanatını en şekle taşıyabilecek bir ders. Emeğinize ve desteğinize teşekkür ederim.

I honestly didn't know what to expect from this course going into it, but I can definitely say that I wasn't disappointed. Other than learning a lot of new things and refreshing my memory on some things from school, I also was faced with sometimes not having the right brush or not being able to exactly replicate things and I had to use my brain and think of ways to achieve my objective. All in all I would recommend this to anyone that wants to get into, continue or master digital art.

By Roberts Briedis on 1/1/2020

Really good advice and presentations for beginners, im still fairly new into digital and there are lot of stuff i have no clue or had no clue how to do until now! However in one of early lectures Austin said he is going to cover how to chose correct/right colors for own project which is going to shown "later" in course, but there is not such lecture. Did he forgot about it or didnt bother to make it or i'm the one who missed it?

I completed all of the assignments and overall thought it was really great. My review will cover a few things I was looking for in a review before I purchased the course. I used Krita, which is free, and had no problem adapting from the lessons for the most part. I would encourage any interested in taking this course to be pretty familiar with what ever software you chose before beginning. I spent a bit of time finding or making brushes to get a similar look to Austin's paintings. One thing I liked was each lesson was self contained usually 10 to 20 minutes which means you can progress through the course lesson by lesson vs listen to an hour lecture and then maybe practice something. I'm not fond of those kinds of courses. And although a lesson may be 10 minutes, it would usually take me double that but by the end I was usually following along in almost real time with Austin. Each lesson felt like a true challenge before I started and then was amazed at what I was able to achieve by the end of the lesson. Very motivating! Austin did a good job of organizing the lessons which became a little more complex when we got into animal and human forms. It's harder to fake that than a rock, for example. One thing I wish was different was that it felt a little like paint by numbers practice. It would have been nice to have maybe some practice looking at actual reference photos so we could work through the colours and perhaps integrate that in the practice somehow. I thought that was going to happen as an early chapter involved "gamut masking" in an early chapter but that topic was never revisited. It would have been nice to have more exercises like that to break up the lessons. Overall, I really enjoyed the course wouldn't hesitate to take another course from Austin.

This course was seriously very beneficial for me, and I'm sure any other guy who aspires to be an artist either for hobby (like me) or for professional purposes. This really got me very well acquainted with the tablet I bought and also with the various ways to paint :D. So, I'll recommend this course to everyone and according to me this is NOT A WASTE OF MONEY :-D.

By AramFaraidun on 7/5/2019

No i said this app was Deserve a 5 stars and I still think and believe that it’s deserve a 5 star also thanks for the courses and the very very cheap price of the courses and i would like to thanks Austin batchlor and the other illustrators and artist and Video editors for their great job thanks so much this app helped me so much to improve my self at drawing and painting and illustrating thanks so much for everything

By Christopher W Gamsby on 5/21/2019

The major complaint I have about this course is that the demos are done in real time and he discusses what he is doing. That makes the demos drag on a little bit. I think the course would have been much improved if he did a sped up drawing and then narrated what he did. Possibly he could have left the normal speed drawing as an extra or supplemental material for those who liked it.

By Marilyn Gregory on 3/15/2019

yes, I messed up a lot, had to stop a lot, but it forced me to make it right, learned a lot. and it came out good. doing ok, and I am learning, having problems with brushes, that is slowing me down, but the challenge is what makes us learn.

By Hadeer Badawi on 2/26/2019

It was organized and helped me understand the process in a very simplified and effective way! It also allowed me to experiment with different painting techniques and is helping me understand the options I have when I'm thinking how to go about painting anything one lecture at a time! I also had so much fun following along and practicing what I'm learning on such beautiful well made assignments!
