I'm remembering drawing with my aunt when I was a child. I'm very happy with the lesson. The narrative is helpful with many tips and suggestions.

Easy to understand and visually appealing. I really enjoy your characters, the way they look after painted. I also wanted to learn how to properly use the blue pencil,then the black pencil. I’m excited to learn new things to further my drawing.

Step by step, I'm being led to improve my skills and above all, to learn a method of constructing characters and posing them. Some tasks are a stretch for someone at my ability level, but seeing how Maria does it helps greatly. I've tried different books and courses, but this method really works.

Her explanation was very clear. Since this is the first lesson, I don’t want to rate any higher because I expect the overall rating to increase as I go through this course. I really enjoyed the simplicity and the length of the presentation. Very refreshing. I can’t wait to experience more.
