I have found the course to be very systematic. Brent teaches in a very systematic way, going in steps, building upon the previous lectures, and in the end consolidating on it in totality. He is very thorough and I have liked his teaching very much. I have taken seven of his courses, but would be happy to continue with him if he has other courses to offer.

Drawing has been my lifelong passion.  After studying at Otis College of Art & Design in Los Angeles, I continued to study numerous forms of drawing including the timeless traditions of the old masters as well as cutting-edge contemporary practices.

I have been teaching drawing for over 25 years at studios, museums, galleries, and schools  and have developed numerous bestselling online figure drawing courses taught to an international student base.

In 2017 I was honored as one of Udemy's Best New Instructors.

I'm thrilled to bring you a lifetime of drawing and teaching experience to this unique program. I look forward to working with you.  Cheers!
