Wow, this course is way above my expectations. Men, I wish I did a automotive education and had you as a teacher. Such an inspiration. Finally something that really inspires me again. I was wondering. In lesson two you refer to those great inspirations. Now I can see where the inspiration for a lot of great looking cars (and motorcycles) come from and even appreciate some designs more. But what was the inspiration to the more boxed designed cars? Like the Golf MK1, the Lancia Delta or a Volvo 240? I have to say I really love that boxed shape in cars. Not to forget the Volkswagen T3! Thanks in advance!

I would expect more examples, it sometimes feels like we're glossing over some details other than that it's great! Awesome job!

Thank you very much Mr. Santoro. I am a mechanical engineer (I work in structural analysis) but I have always had a little artistic streak that I have never been able to completely suppress and from time to time my interest and appreciation for automotive design sprouts. I really enjoyed this introductory course. Cheers!

Concise and relevant, easy to digest information and format is such that I can easily understand and complete homework before moving to the next section.

I used this curse as the base guidelines to perfect my design sketching technique and I really improved... I may still be lacking in the drawing from the shoulder technique because of years of drawing from the wrist but I'm on my way... Hope one day I'll get direct counseling from Santoro...

I am a Masters graduate and still I learned very new things. I also learned how to draw with imagining complicated things easily. I totally recommend this course for my team mates.

I saw lot videos about sketching and specially about sketching cars but what I find missing was the concept and the fundamentals on which things are build upon. Thanks Micheal it was really informative action packed course which gives you a solid base. Thanks for sharing your experience.

Despite being a short course(Udemy rules) it covers all the important areas that you have to master in order to sketch car. Also Michael Sir helps a lot to all of his students. These both things lacks in other courses available on internet. I am sure whether you are beginner, intermediate or pro you will defiantly learn something from this course. Must buy
