Hey Matt,
I was wondering how long these drawing generally take you? I want to make sure that I am not rushing through this, and so like setting a certain amount of time for the drawing, so that I have to take longer. Do you have any suggestions on how long a drawing like this should take roughly? Thank you!

One of my apples look a bit ovoid, the values really makes the drawing stand up., Not happy with the periphery outside the bowl. Practice practice.

Thank you Matt for this amazing course. I’ve been wanting to learn the basics of drawing but hadn’t found a course that met my needs and then recently found “The Virtual Instructor”. Now I’m like a child who wants to learn everything that you are offer. Art has become a very important and enjoyable part of my existence now a days. My heartfelt gratitude to you Matt!
