This is an awesome lesson. Loved doing this. I will be doing this on a regular basis. The hand was challenging but taught a lot. The contour lines lesson helped 100%. My grandson and I do the lines and creative thinking challenge all the time. I love to see what we can come up with.

Thank you so much for your time and effort.

In reply to Myrlande Janvier. Hi Myrlande, All of the images are in jpeg format. This is a universally readable format. I'm not sure if Udemy has done something to file format, but this is out my hands since I do not have control over their platform. How are you opening the images? What program are you using?

Hi Matt,
I am taking your course on Udemy and I can print the images for drawing. I believe they are peppers, bird and maybe something else. I sent you messages from Udemy as well as a lot of other students. Can you help or attach the files in a different format. My computer does not recognize the format you have in the course. We would appreciate your help. Thank you.

In reply to Banana Draws.

Any simple subjects are good for illustrating this point. Apples work well too. Have a look here…https://thevirtualinstructor.com/cross-contour-lines.html

Hi Matt, the latter half cross contour line drawing is so helpful. Besides bananas, what other subjects are good for this exercise?

In reply to Kathy Gilray. Hi Kathy, There are no hand photos. We are drawing from direct observation of your non-dominant hand. So, if you are right-handed, look at your left hand and draw it.
