So far the experience is good. I am having some trouble with understanding the language because of the accent, and the CC is also auto generated. So, missing some points here and there. But overall its worth purchasing.

Hi, my name is Geoff and I'm a professional illustrator. 

From a young age I have had a passion for drawing, inspired by comics, cartoons and the animal world. I taught myself to draw, and now I want to teach you! 

Whether you want to draw for fun, or professionally, I want your drawing experience to be as easy as possible. I do this by pointing out simple observations that most students miss, and by sharing lessons from my 34 years of drawing experience. 

I'll give you tips I learned when studying a Bachelor of Design at the College of Fine Arts in Sydney, Australia and knowledge I gained while working professionally in animation and illustration.
