From sharpening your pencil to finishing a complete study, this class will give you the skills to draw human figures both from images and from life.

I loved the information in the class. I found it a bit challenging to look at the reference figure while also watching what the instructor was doing. I take it the pdf will be a good guide to practice again after watching the video.
