Everyone says there's a rule, but it's fun to know there really isn't one. While watching the videos, I saw how simple it actually was and how fun it was. ​

For someone who doesn’t draw it was wonderful. I decided to concentrate on cartooning and the elephant was the perfect subject.

Starting from the basics of how to warm up to making a full illustration with a character and elements is amazing!! This is exactly what I needed, and you helped me understand methods for breaking down something I want to draw into its most basic components. Thank you!

Absolutely wonderful! This course has helped me so much with my drawings. Im hoping that one day I will reach to be a famous cartoonist, but I could never get body proportions right. Thanks to you, im over that worry!

Very interesting lectures which show the student the simplicity of drawing. As a beginner I love this course, because now I have the feeling, that also beginners can draw. Furthermore, Maria works with very cute characters. Thanks for this great course.

This course is exactly what I needed. I have always wanted to draw cartoony characters but I got stuck trying to draw the lines perfect the first time. I was able to follow along with each lecture and have now found a new art style that I can draw in with confidence.

This course shows professional animation drawing techniques. How to visualize everything in 3D space, reproduce the drawing and preparing it for animating. Thanks Maria for the easy to follow tips! This course is making it a breeze to follow along with animation books. Looking forward to your other courses

As a complete beginner I found the sphere lesson really confusing and made me doubt that I would be able to complete this course.

Hasta el momento está bien, explica paso a paso sin apurarse. Las imágenes son claras y su pronunciación del ingles es aceptable para quien no habla el idioma.
