Draw Comic Book & Cartoon Characters (Adults)
I really loved the class. It was amazing to actually be able to draw things from reference and understand how shapes break down. I even did some my own stuff, which was a lot of fun. The instructor was amazing and was clearly very invested in teaching us as efficiently as possible. I do wish there was someone in the class that had more experience in the industry and maybe a bit more insight into developing student's styles if it were a six/seven week course. I do think he did his job perfectly. -
