“Awesome course. Enjoyed the use of Blender to explain certain concepts. Particularly liked the Gesture Drawing, Building Form and Anatomy for Artists sections.”

“I'm totally hooked on the way Marco explains things. I've gone through countless hours of videos and courses—each one teaches you something—but I could spend many more hours learning with his teaching style. I'll never see perspective the same way again!”

“I've completed almost every course from Marco Bucci, but this one is just perfect. I was stuck in my art journey and because of this course, now I have a better understanding of some concepts and how to approach different subjects. This course in combination with Color Survival Guide, I think, it can be the only courses that everyone needs.”
