prefer to learn from watching videos. Some of us prefer to learn from books as well as videos, so ebooks are included as well. This course has been developed to accelerate learning by teaching to many different learning styles. Each course module includes an illustrated ebook that corresponds with the video. Every step and concept is clearly illustrated and described in each ebook.<\/p>\n<h2>What Students Say<\/h2>\n<div class=\"shadowboxsmall\" style=\"padding:40px; margin-bottom:30px;\">\n<div class=\"quote\"><i class=\"fas fa-quote-left\"><\/i><\/div>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:0%;\">\"Matt, I have thoroughly enjoyed drawn along with you.

I just became a member at the end of August and knew very little about drawing or paper or mediums. It is remarkable how much you taught me throughout this series. My ability to draw has improved rapidly from your comments as you drew and the incredible variety of items we drew. Comparing the drawings from first to last really lets me see how much you have taught me. Not only have I learned a lot about drawing, I\u2019ve learned lessons on including value, proper shading, and creating texture. I also developed the habit of drawing every day. Interestingly, I had no interest in pen and ink when I became a member a couple months ago but thought I would give this course a whirl. I am so glad I did. Not sure which course I will take next, but I know it will be outstanding.
