I enjoyed this class very much but I am a little slower than the video so I have to finish by memory. I am learning though and that is what counts.

Great lesson. It was explained very clearly and I am going to practice this over and over. I agree, please don’t shorten the lessons I have to stop and go back a few paces all the time anyway which is fine for me as I always work a bit slower.

In reply to Karina M. If you find the pace too slow, just speed it up. YOu can speed up AND slow down playback (I love the slow down because I can see more clearly the subtle movements that are made to achieve the correct line).

Great demonstration. It is rewarding to see the way things come to life in the drawing -the pace, the order.

WOW! I am blown away. I did lesson 21-26 today. I could not stop. The videos were awesome! I am a beginner & was able to keep up & accomplish beautiful drawings. It is great to be able to pause the video if I need to catch up. I appreciate the over view of different medias but was becoming frustrated because I could not execute the piece. I needed the photo reference & more step by step instructions. These drawing lessons are just what I was hoping for when I bought the course. I am going to try a membership. You are an incredible artist & a fantastic teacher. Thank you! I am one of those people who truly thought I could not draw, but I can.

In reply to Elana Stocker. I agree that by showing as much of what he is actually doing it is easier to learn how he completes the shading and how he applies the graphite, if it was sped up to much a lot of this would be lost. it also helps teach patience that you wil need when drawing.

I agree with Elana. I would love to see longer video time. The more I watch, the better it is for me to learn what I’m trying to draw. You make everything so clear. Thanks.
