What Students Are Saying
Awesome course. Enjoyed the use of Blender to explain certain concepts. Particularly liked the Gesture Drawing, Building Form and Anatomy for Artists sections.
There is nurturing and substance here. I return to completed chapters to refine my notes, analysis, and understanding. It's taking me longer than normal to finish because I have been applying what I learned to my drawing projects.
One thing I love about this course is there are no time lapses! Total Guide to Figure Drawing is a breath of fresh air. Great instruction in real-time.

Frequently Asked Questions
For traditional media, any brand of watercolors and gouache will work, though do not recommend student-grade paints. I use brands like Winsor&Newton, Holbein, and Daniel Smith. I also recommend using at least 140lb paper, as anything thinner will not be able to survive multiple washes.
