Hi Matt, Thank you for this. I usually have my “own projects” -either from life or copying from a photo or painting – to add to the tutorials, which I find enormously helpful and illustrative. Many principles learnt there I can apply directly when I work on these projects of my own. Having someone to see our work regularly, to check it, would add… I find the critiques a perfect way of learning as well. I find you learn the general principles there richly addressed and from a wide range of variables, that teach us what is evaluated in an artwork. They are an essential piece to me, apart from the tutorials. Your courses are very good. Thank you. Regards from Argentina.

Matt, this was some of the best advice I’ve seen anywhere regarding drawing and the skill it requires. Like in the diet world you get the fast fix – quick tip methods when it is really simple…eat healthy, eat less and exercise. With drawing – learn the fundamentals and practice which will allow you to achieve the goal of drawing whatever “owl” you want…thanks again for the good advice
