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<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thevirtualinstructor.com\/members\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Colored-Pencils-Plus-Ebooks-1000.jpg\" alt=\"Colored Pencils PLUS course ebooks\"><\/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%;\">\"Loving this course...Thank you for all your awesome teaching!
