Great study on the use of line! I like how the course is broken up into days and each day has some exercises to practice what we’re learning. I’d take another course from this instructor. In fact I’m going to check out his blog for more drawing techniques. Good quality of audio and video, too.

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 20 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!
