Lesson Discussion

  2. I have improved so much through the modules in 25 Days to Better Drawings, by following the guidelines put forward in each lesson, they all have proven valuable for me thank you Matt.

  4. That was super challenging yet so enjoyable, perspective has always been a difficult area for me ! You have really shown me that it is quite simple when you know how !
    I am so pleased I managed to do the street scene . Great lesson many thanks.

  5. These drawing lessons have completely changed my perspective on drawing (pun intended). I have appreciated the graduated approach to the subject matter and the careful construction of each lesson. Thanks for bringing clarity the subject. Cheers,

  6. This lesson seemed easy at first and I liked the preciseness of it. However, it became more difficult as more details were added and the lesson progressed. That said I did like this lesson and every previous lesson. I am learning a lot. Thank you

  8. Oh my goodness, I’m such a terrible student! I was happily drawing along every day that I could manage enjoying myself thoroughly until I got to this lesson… I was drawing away, only half paying attention and then decided half way though the picture that I would outline everything so far in pen (as I was a little heavy handed with pencil and couldn’t really get rid of my construction lines)
    Matt then went on to add in details and I’d already made such a right old mess of it all that I stopped the lesson telling myself in a huff that it’s all too difficult!

    Even Matt, who’s teaching style exudes the patience of angels, can’t save me from myself! Ha!

    I’m only now, a cool ten days later coming back to give it another go.
    THIS time I’ll pay attention to the video and not go off on an artistic tangent until I’ve thoroughly learnt the lesson.

    Thank you so much for these wonderful courses Matt! I’ve learnt so so much in the short time I’ve been a member
