Non-intimidating introductory lessons

No rating

I’m one of those middle-aged adults who “has never been able to draw”. Unusually for me (where “learning to draw” is concerned), I quite enjoyed each lesson here and wasn’t tempted to bail out partway through the course. I think that’s because the material was 1. non-intimidating, 2. encouraging, 3. introduced a fairly small amount of technical knowledge. This last might be viewed as a negative point: and I suspect some topics such as shadows were not strictly correct. But on the other hand, you might argue that beginner lessons introduce concepts in a simplified way that can be expanded/refined with future study.

Overall, a decent starter course that’s whetted my appetite to learn more.
