As someone who tried to get into drawing many times, but always lost interest, this is the first time I managed to stick into a tutorial video, especially more that a hour. I found my old sketchbook, and with the last pages that remained, I did all the exercises, and I was really surprised at how calm and steady I was. I ordered a new sketchbook, and I'm planning on sticking to the end! Thank you very much!
I left my pencil 20 years ago and I don't know why. I think out-of sadness as I am dyslexic. In gradeschool, I was always criticized for doing art backwards butvstill getting an A+. I feel like crying, writing this, but..The Universe sent me here and back to my first love. My old sketbooks are from the 80's. I was shocked to see how good I was. I think better when I was younger, with a free clear mind.
@@Centannicocktails True, Although I draw with pen(feels more comfortable to me) and I know how to draw,just that I've forgotten soo many stuff,so had to come here to relearn and become better
Mark's understanding of what their own students feel during the exercises and assuring us of how valid our works are instead of just promising that you're gonna get better the more you follow along fills me with a lot of joy
Thanks Markowsky. I really enjoyed this first video and am so excited to continue your class... My dad really screwed me up with trying things because I was always afraid of failure (art, as I'm sure you can understand, was ESPECIALLY daunting) despite having had won an award for a drawing when I was 10. But my prayer counselor has encouraged me to begin to draw again and I am so glad I did! The Holy Spirit is doing a mighty work in my life and drawing for me is an incredible gift that I can use to glorify our Lord with. God bless man and I hope you continue helping people and that the Lord blesses you with absolute financial sufficiency! God bless everyone watching as well! KEEP CALM and DRAW ON!
My professional artist friend says you may not draw like a genius but you can learn how to draw correctly. I'm here to learn how to draw correctly. :) Thank you very much for being so generous with us. Bless your heart.
I have been a perfectionist for a very long time. Over the past year, I've started learning how not to worry about making everything perfect. I never would have tried drawing before. This video has been so, so helpful for me. It is paced so well, and I felt very welcome, even as someone who was watching after the fact. Thank you for being a part of my journey of trying new things.
Oh wow! Thanks for leaving this comment! It makes me so happy to hear that it connected with you and gave you permission to risk making something that might not be perfect! You totally just made my day! ❤️❤️❤️👌😃
I swear this was the best art course I've seen. It's refreshing, fun and you don't pressure students to make something perfect in one go! It's realistic and I love how you break through everything and show us a pro artist can ad will make mistakes.
Hello, I am a nursing student from Iraq, an “Arab country.” Honestly, I wanted to learn drawing and watched a lot of courses, but I did not develop significantly, but this video was very useful to me, thank you very much❤️, I hope to continue watching all your videos and become a professional in drawing
This is honestly the best tutorial on youtube. I'm 14 and have been wanting to draw for years but no toturial got me this invested. This deserves so much more views. Thank you so much for this tutorial.
Thank you so much! I have autism and adhd and struggle with art classes a lot (perfectionism, transitioning between activities, and long stretches of focus discourage me and make it hard to participate) but your video definitely helped my mindset and gave me really positive and relaxing hour of art! definitely will contibue with the course :)
When I was around 10 years old I was taking drawing courses in a private drawing school. To be honest, I did not really enjoy drawing back then and I was always bad at it. Few days ago thought that it'd be nice to try and give it another shot. Found this course and just went through the first video and damn, it's such a nice feeling to draw without being pressured by someone. Also ignoring my perfectionist-self really helps! Thank you so much for this course!!!
YEAH!!! Thanks for sharing your incredible story with me! I’m deeply honoured to be part of your creative adventure!!! ❤️😀🤟 Giving oneself permission to play and experiment -and even fail spectacularly- is the greatest gift of all!
I have been drawing for 7 years now but have lacked on my fundamentals becoming readily apparent to me when I saw how fast those art progress videos are, so I thank you from the bottom of my heart for putting out such detailed and comprehensive classes.
Waooo you are good leader, teacher. Hello Michael markowsky! My is nishimwe norbert I am Rwandan. I always found where I learn drawing perfectly, this was problem I had . There was no guider, Instructor, teacher I had where I started to draw since 2020. On the 24 October 2024 I found your channel. I started learning, today I reach lesson 30. You help me , now confidence is growing everyday. Jehovah bless you everyday.
Hi Mark, I just discovered this playlist today. I gave up on drawing over 15 years ago, thanks so much for helping me get back on enjoying drawing. I'm giving it a serious go and will go through all of your videos.
I was passionate about drawing as a child but sort of lost interest as I aged into adulthood. Now age 36, I’m trying to rekindle that lost passion. I started drawing again recently but found myself getting very frustrated with my drawings. I came here looking for guidance and found more than that. Your encouragement and positivity was heartwarming and helped me forgive myself for my mistakes, and that is something I will continue to apply to my mindset going forward. Thank you for doing these very informative and free courses. I plan to watch each one of your videos nightly to continue to hone my skills. Kind regards.
I took this first class after having a very emotionally draining, negative interaction that left me feeling very down with a headache. Halfway through I found myself feeling relaxed and laughing at the comments. My state of mind completely turned 360 and ended off feeling positive and hopeful. Thank you for your sharing your sill, you have made a difference in my day in a big way.
I always thought I can't draw because of obviously perfection issues...but I felt confident and extremely happy after watching this class. Thank You Sir✨
Living in New Mexico, from L.A. I'm a beginner. Got stuck in my drawing around age 6, and from your Class #1, my work still looks like a 6-year old. I'm 66 now. Will I improve??? Really appreciate you and what you offer!! Thank you!
Watching this 4 years late, wish I could have been there when it was live! Thank you so much, the class was really fun to watch and I had a great time drawing. I'll be sure to complete the 40 sessions!
I still can’t believe youre doing all of this for free like… THANK YOU my summer break started two days ago i saved this playlist 2 months ago back when my exams started ( yes they lasted for about 2 months💀) but now that I’m finally free I really look forward to improve my drawing stay blessed man once again… thank you so much
what a fantastic resource for anybody to start picking up drawing and art. with a very calm and helpful teacher as well. this is about as good as lessons can get without being real time!
1:04:46 "Even if you're not happy with it, a friend might really like it." I couldn't agree more! I've only ever done very little drawing in my 28 years, but I had urges to get back into it the past few weeks, and this statement holds up true! I've been playing guitar for 15 years (along with a few other instruments well), songwriting, and production, and I have ALWAYS had the belief with my music (and cooking) that I might not even enjoy what I made, but I know others will like it. I've put out well crafted material I didn't enjoy, but I knew others would enjoy it more than I would.
Oh Man! It did hurt my brain while doing the optical illusion excercise. As someone who is a beginner to drawing,this class was very engaging and fun. I tried to draw before, but gave up because I wasn't perfect.But now I understood imperfection is what makes an artist unique. Thank you for this amazing class.
Aww this is so beautiful and satisfying… what a nice teacher you are.. very pleasant and lovely.. I’m 50 and I wanted to draw since I was 5! and now thanks to you I think I have found what I was missing in all of my childhood
WOW! Thanks for leaving such a beautiful comment on my channel! I'm truly grateful to be able to share my passion with people like you who appreciate it, and hopefully that spark inside you grows into a brilliant star that illuminates everyone around you! Keep going and growing, it's never too late to follow your dreams!
The eccentric dad vibe is strong and I'm here for it. Super glad I found this course, I've actually drawn a few things I'm ok with today. A HUGE step up from "ew i suck!" I just really hope one of these videos includes you riding a unicycle, twirling your mustache, and cackling maniacally lol
One thing about myself that I've always wanted to address is my impatience and perfectionism, both of which have held me back professionally and personally. These types of tutorial videos are really helping me finally do something about it...especially the perfectionism. Thank you!
I Just started this class with my 8 year old. She struggled when we got to the picasso part but we stuck with and she was impressed with her results! So thanks Mark!
Hey Michael, I am so thankful I found this course! I have tried to get into drawing several times but always given up because it seems that I am too much of a perfectionist, and constantly judging myself really took the pleasure out of it. This video has been almost healing, and I am really looking forward to continue this series.
Goodness! Thank you for such a life-affirming comment! Hearing you talk about the healing qualities of learning drawing makes me feel so grateful to be able to share my experience and tools with people like yourself and the world! ❤️
I tend to draw a lot, but always get self conscious because i dont know the basic techniques that my other art friends do. I hope this video (even 4 years later lol) will really help me to find my own personal art style instead of just copying others!
Hello Michael, I am from India, and this is the first video of yours that I have seen. I had no idea who you are, but after witnessing your spirit of freely sharing knowledge, I truly want to express my appreciation and thank you. 😊 Love you, Sir. ❤️ Hat off! 🔥💯 And one more thing: when I become financially independent or rich, I will donate $2000 or more to you, I promise. 🙃
This reminded me of how much I loved art class in school. It was no pressure and just encouragement to try new things. I'm so so excited to continue through and add drawing to my art practice!
I painted with you and my drawings were totally horrible because this is the first time I try to draw in my life and I took more I hope I would get better by watching your course, and thank you soooo much for affording that for free, I live in syria and without people like you, people like me wouldn't be capable of learning anything
Thank you for doing these classes for free! That is very generous of you and I am excited to keep watching and learning. I like to draw portraits but want to learn the basics and fundamentals of drawing. I like how you said to forgive self and give myself freedom to make mistakes because I depend to be very hard on myself and self critical.
You’re very welcome! You’re not alone: all artists struggle with reconciling the difference between the vision they have in their heads and what appears on the page/canvas. The key is to allow yourself to embrace that discrepancy, to be pleasantly surprised by the twists and turns rather than be disappointed or depressed.
Thank you so much!!! I’m from Calgary, in my 30s and just nurturing my inner child. I was such a perfectionist when I was little that I would actually freeze up and be unable to produce :( I’ve embraced mistakes, and I’m LOVING it. ☺️☺️☺️
I just saw a video of Saul Bass, in which he said that designers must learn how to draw, so here I am. Thanks for, what I can already tell is going to be, a terrific course!
due to perfectionism i suffer in other art classes- especially in those skillshare classes where despite being good they kind of just gloss over these things- even when they label themselves as beginner friendly, so thank you sir. you really make me feel like Im going to be able to draw and master this. I wanna be able to create my urban watercolor paintings, and you've brought me one step closer to my dreams. I'm 16 right now, so i have a long way to go before completely mastering this. but i look forward to it
Finding this course has been literally the best thing that's happened to me in a while. This was so much fun, I can't wait to watch the next. Thank you so much for sharing this ❤
Im starting this in 2024 after 4 years and i really regret not discovering this early i feel great after attending this first video and i cant wait to go through all the others thank you so much ..🙏🏽😊
Currently trying to get into art. This is definitely helping with helping my brain to forgive small mistakes, and finish making the big picture. 100% finishing this class
Thank you!! I really must say that you are the first artist whom I feel I can follow and learn without feeling so self conscience about my drawings! I do find it fun and relaxing albeit that my stuff is very amaturish!! But that's not what matters right now! I'm enjoying this! Happy New Year!!!
Thank you Rina for such a generous comment! I'm grateful to be able to help you along your creative journey! Please keep me posted with your progress as you continue through the course, as I'd love to see the drawings you make!
I'm a Beginner never tried to learn drawing before and my drawing is totally miserable Thank you for this enjoying lessons I'll watch all of them and will come again to this comment to tell what level has my drawing improved to thanks again
Thank you for sharing these, it is so appreciated: i've been trying a few books to learn how to draw but your teaching is so engaging and (frankly) better.
I enjoyed spending time drawing with you. this was first time I ever watched trying to learn a skill randomly to improve a news skill and help stay away from social media.
Thank you, I’m watching this in October lol, not live. But thank you, I hope to get better and better. I’ve been actively drawing for 2 years, mostly copying everyone else. I hope to learn lots and be able to be more creative and imaginative.
Starting today 15AUGUST 20204 will try to manage with my college which is from 10:15a.m.- 6:30p.m. (including traveling which is around 3hrs) btw Thanks for this playlist Sir i was good at drawing when i was young but left drawing due to study now when i think i always regret but i think its still not late i will try to get into drawing with your classes
i can only draw basic shapes and basic animal/human shapes. This is EXACTLY what i need to elevate my drawings and improve how i can express my ideas for brainstorming. Thank you so much!
I've been drawing since I was a kid just for fun and this is the first time I actually have a class about it. Thank you for providing these materials for free!
I'm not going to lie, at first I wasnt into this class because I felt that there was too much lingering chatter.... but I absolutely LOVED these exercises! Liked & Subscribed - Thank you :)
Thank you so much for making this class… I’ve always loved drawing, but I got tired of copying another person’s drawing. I want to know the basics, I want to take the long road and learn how to express my own thoughts and feelings through drawing.
Oh man. It was a coincidence that I found your channel and this great course playlist! Just now I finished the first course and I am so happy. Your explanation about "not being perfect" "there are no mistakes in art" and so on.... THANKS for saying that! Already after 90 minutes I feel so much more comfortable! You are helping me a lot! Thank you! I'm already looking forward to the next classes (: Stay healthy everyone! ♥
I have experience worth 10 years but I'm looking to go back to basics and rebuild my skills back up to end up with better results so I'm glad there are courses like this
Can't wait to get my 8 year old started on this today. So grateful this class is free on UA-cam. He loves drawing so much but his school doesn't have art classes
Is this is really helpful I mean can you see the improvements in your drawing coz giving that much time should get a better result so once again can you see the improvements and it is really worth it or not?
Thank you so much! I've been drawing since 2021 but for three years, I only studied how to draw the face and the torso and my skill never improved (maybe a little lol). I decided to learn everything from the scratch but I was confused where to start. Glad I found this one. More blessings to you sir!
Beautiful. I always found most drawing resources to walk too fast, but your way of doing it starts slow, very slow, and slow enough that I can understand it and I really appreciate it. Not everyone has a natural intuitive talent for reproducing forms; I can barely write my name legibly enough for the average person to read (but both my parents are doctors, so I guess it's just a genetic thing hehe), but your simple exercises make me feel confident enough to try them out. Thank you so much for this.
Just did the first lesson today and loved it! Can’t wait to start drawing regularly again after only doing it sporadically for the last 15 years. - Liz
I just started taking some classes and this course is really helpful as a beginner! It's never too late to start learning, and it's such a peaceful & relaxing hobby 💜 thank you for sharing this with us for free!
hi sir i am uday kumar your drawing classes are amazing i want you to teach us more there are less people like you and your teaching is excellent . i am very happy to listen your classes i want you to upload more drawing tutorials soo many people wants you to upload more tutorials .and i never listen listen such an excellent tutorial like yours and finally thank you very much from india uday kumar
Thank you so much. ☺️ I have always been a perfectionist and you really opened my eyes today. At this point in my life at 74 years, I will relax and enjoy making many mistakes while I learn how to draw. Gloria, Detroit
I'm no beginner but I am missing alot of fundamental elements in my work due to being stubborn when I was young, definitely going to take this course! thank you so much!
this was really helpful. i noticed you mentioned a lot of exercises that my art teacher from high school told us about at the start of the first year and then we ended up not doing them. He ended up basically being like "here draw this" and then saying what you did good, but not what to improve on or how. So i appreciate even the little bits of advice in this video like to be aware when we're rushing too much and need to take a bit of time to improve accuracy, or when we're taking too much time and need to let go of perfectionism. It actually helped a lot to see your drawings weren't perfect either. Obviously you're a great artist, so it's like if you're allowed to make mistakes then so am i
This is such a nice paced, wholesome class and your style of teaching really clicked with me. I really thought I cannot draw but this went kinda good! Thank you so much I will watch more of your videos. Kind regards from the Netherlands
discovered your channel recently , wanted to draw again as i used to do as a kid ,lets how things work by the way love from INDIA thanks for your effort
These are so great and helpful. You are a good teacher and it shows. I’m on lesson 7 now and going strong. Thank you so much for sharing these it’s very helpful. Trying to learn art in my 30s with not much prior experience this is perfect. Thank you again.
I can't believe this is all for free, and I had so much fun, especially on the the upside down part xD . I was looking for a lessons to improve and then I found this with lots more, thank you very much sir!

I've put out well crafted material I didn't enjoy, but I knew others would enjoy it more than I would.
Oh Man! It did hurt my brain while doing the optical illusion excercise. As someone who is a beginner to drawing,this class was very engaging and fun. I tried to draw before, but gave up because I wasn't perfect.But now I understood imperfection is what makes an artist unique. Thank you for this amazing class.
Aww this is so beautiful and satisfying… what a nice teacher you are.. very pleasant and lovely.. I’m 50 and I wanted to draw since I was 5! and now thanks to you I think I have found what I was missing in all of my childhood
WOW! Thanks for leaving such a beautiful comment on my channel! I'm truly grateful to be able to share my passion with people like you who appreciate it, and hopefully that spark inside you grows into a brilliant star that illuminates everyone around you! Keep going and growing, it's never too late to follow your dreams!
The eccentric dad vibe is strong and I'm here for it. Super glad I found this course, I've actually drawn a few things I'm ok with today. A HUGE step up from "ew i suck!"
I just really hope one of these videos includes you riding a unicycle, twirling your mustache, and cackling maniacally lol
I just shocked such a valuable course is free on youtube...thank u sir ❤ u'll always be remembered for this
One thing about myself that I've always wanted to address is my impatience and perfectionism, both of which have held me back professionally and personally. These types of tutorial videos are really helping me finally do something about it...especially the perfectionism. Thank you!
I Just started this class with my 8 year old. She struggled when we got to the picasso part but we stuck with and she was impressed with her results! So thanks Mark!
I'm watching this in 2024
Best teacher ever
Thanks for the video
Just found this in August, 2023. My first class! Really enjoying this. Newly retired. Thank you so much!
Hey Michael, I am so thankful I found this course! I have tried to get into drawing several times but always given up because it seems that I am too much of a perfectionist, and constantly judging myself really took the pleasure out of it. This video has been almost healing, and I am really looking forward to continue this series.
Goodness! Thank you for such a life-affirming comment! Hearing you talk about the healing qualities of learning drawing makes me feel so grateful to be able to share my experience and tools with people like yourself and the world! ❤️
I tend to draw a lot, but always get self conscious because i dont know the basic techniques that my other art friends do. I hope this video (even 4 years later lol) will really help me to find my own personal art style instead of just copying others!
Hello Michael,
I am from India, and this is the first video of yours that I have seen. I had no idea who you are, but after witnessing your spirit of freely sharing knowledge, I truly want to express my appreciation and thank you. 😊
Love you, Sir. ❤️
Hat off! 🔥💯
And one more thing: when I become financially independent or rich, I will donate $2000 or more to you, I promise. 🙃
very great session, sir! I never thought an online free tutorial class would be this detailed! Kindly do not delete this playlist
This reminded me of how much I loved art class in school. It was no pressure and just encouragement to try new things. I'm so so excited to continue through and add drawing to my art practice!
I painted with you and my drawings were totally horrible because this is the first time I try to draw in my life and I took more I hope I would get better by watching your course, and thank you soooo much for affording that for free, I live in syria and without people like you, people like me wouldn't be capable of learning anything
Thank you for doing these classes for free! That is very generous of you and I am excited to keep watching and learning. I like to draw portraits but want to learn the basics and fundamentals of drawing. I like how you said to forgive self and give myself freedom to make mistakes because I depend to be very hard on myself and self critical.
You’re very welcome! You’re not alone: all artists struggle with reconciling the difference between the vision they have in their heads and what appears on the page/canvas. The key is to allow yourself to embrace that discrepancy, to be pleasantly surprised by the twists and turns rather than be disappointed or depressed.
Thank you so much!!! I’m from Calgary, in my 30s and just nurturing my inner child. I was such a perfectionist when I was little that I would actually freeze up and be unable to produce :( I’ve embraced mistakes, and I’m LOVING it. ☺️☺️☺️
Majestic mustache. Respect
Hahaha! Thanks Mohamed!
I just saw a video of Saul Bass, in which he said that designers must learn how to draw, so here I am. Thanks for, what I can already tell is going to be, a terrific course!
Starting out today, having fun doing drawing exercises, really thankful for this awesome lecture.
everone: Remind me to complete the course everyone.
Yo
you better still be doing it bro
Complete it brj
@@fckle2225 thanks for reminding, will continue
Hey lol I am coming back on the 2nd episode after 3 months.. Thought of reminding you (｡>﹏
due to perfectionism i suffer in other art classes- especially in those skillshare classes where despite being good they kind of just gloss over these things- even when they label themselves as beginner friendly, so thank you sir. you really make me feel like Im going to be able to draw and master this. I wanna be able to create my urban watercolor paintings, and you've brought me one step closer to my dreams. I'm 16 right now, so i have a long way to go before completely mastering this. but i look forward to it
Finding this course has been literally the best thing that's happened to me in a while. This was so much fun, I can't wait to watch the next. Thank you so much for sharing this ❤
I m taking these classes with my little 5 years daughter n we both loved the class. Thank u
Im starting this in 2024 after 4 years and i really regret not discovering this early i feel great after attending this first video and i cant wait to go through all the others thank you so much ..🙏🏽😊
Me tooo
this is one of the best teacher for begginers
Currently trying to get into art. This is definitely helping with helping my brain to forgive small mistakes, and finish making the big picture. 100% finishing this class
I can not thank you enough for this huge free drawing course. This is Awesome and greatly appreciated!!!
Thank you!! I really must say that you are the first artist whom I feel I can follow and learn without feeling so self conscience about my drawings! I do find it fun and relaxing albeit that my stuff is very amaturish!! But that's not what matters right now! I'm enjoying this! Happy New Year!!!
Thank you Rina for such a generous comment! I'm grateful to be able to help you along your creative journey! Please keep me posted with your progress as you continue through the course, as I'd love to see the drawings you make!
@@MarkowskyArt Will share with you and will openly take any suggestions and recommendations! Thank you!!
I'm a Beginner never tried to learn drawing before and my drawing is totally miserable Thank you for this enjoying lessons I'll watch all of them and will come again to this comment to tell what level has my drawing improved to thanks again
Thank you for sharing these, it is so appreciated: i've been trying a few books to learn how to draw but your teaching is so engaging and (frankly) better.
Wow! Thank you for saying so! What a generous comment! Keep me posted with your progress!
@@MarkowskyArt 2^w^wwwwwwwwwwwq
Sir, have you learned to draw now. I also want to learn to draw. How to learn drawing can you please tell me so!
I enjoyed spending time drawing with you. this was first time I ever watched trying to learn a skill randomly to improve a news skill and help stay away from social media.
Hey there. Just starting this course from Colombia. Thanks a lot for your huge effort.
What a relaxing time
Wow! Sooo cool! I can’t wait to see what you create with all the new skills you’re about to acquire!
Thank you, I’m watching this in October lol, not live. But thank you, I hope to get better and better. I’ve been actively drawing for 2 years, mostly copying everyone else. I hope to learn lots and be able to be more creative and imaginative.
Starting today 15AUGUST 20204 will try to manage with my college which is from 10:15a.m.- 6:30p.m. (including traveling which is around 3hrs) btw Thanks for this playlist Sir i was good at drawing when i was young but left drawing due to study now when i think i always regret but i think its still not late i will try to get into drawing with your classes
i can only draw basic shapes and basic animal/human shapes. This is EXACTLY what i need to elevate my drawings and improve how i can express my ideas for brainstorming. Thank you so much!
even paid course are not as detail and attendable as yours , you are so generous and cool! Thanks for the sharing🤩
I've been drawing since I was a kid just for fun and this is the first time I actually have a class about it. Thank you for providing these materials for free!
I'm not going to lie, at first I wasnt into this class because I felt that there was too much lingering chatter.... but I absolutely LOVED these exercises! Liked & Subscribed - Thank you :)
Thank you so much for making this class… I’ve always loved drawing, but I got tired of copying another person’s drawing. I want to know the basics, I want to take the long road and learn how to express my own thoughts and feelings through drawing.
Oh man. It was a coincidence that I found your channel and this great course playlist!
Just now I finished the first course and I am so happy. Your explanation about "not being perfect" "there are no mistakes in art" and so on.... THANKS for saying that!
Already after 90 minutes I feel so much more comfortable! You are helping me a lot! Thank you! I'm already looking forward to the next classes (:
Stay healthy everyone! ♥
I have experience worth 10 years but I'm looking to go back to basics and rebuild my skills back up to end up with better results so I'm glad there are courses like this
Thank you so much for the saying the perfection is not important.. it really opened my mind. :)
Can't wait to get my 8 year old started on this today. So grateful this class is free on UA-cam. He loves drawing so much but his school doesn't have art classes
Who is learning is 2024 jan
Is this is really helpful
I mean can you see the improvements in your drawing coz giving that much time should get a better result so once again can you see the improvements and it is really worth it or not?

Thank you so much! I've been drawing since 2021 but for three years, I only studied how to draw the face and the torso and my skill never improved (maybe a little lol). I decided to learn everything from the scratch but I was confused where to start. Glad I found this one. More blessings to you sir!
Beautiful. I always found most drawing resources to walk too fast, but your way of doing it starts slow, very slow, and slow enough that I can understand it and I really appreciate it. Not everyone has a natural intuitive talent for reproducing forms; I can barely write my name legibly enough for the average person to read (but both my parents are doctors, so I guess it's just a genetic thing hehe), but your simple exercises make me feel confident enough to try them out. Thank you so much for this.
Just did the first lesson today and loved it! Can’t wait to start drawing regularly again after only doing it sporadically for the last 15 years. - Liz
this class made me reflect more about myself than i thought while and after drawing. thank you, i'm looking foward to watching the other ones.
AWESOME! This makes me sooo happy! I'm super glad you found this useful and intellectually stimulating! Keep going!
I just started taking some classes and this course is really helpful as a beginner! It's never too late to start learning, and it's such a peaceful & relaxing hobby 💜 thank you for sharing this with us for free!
I love your moustache 👍🏻
Thanks!

from india uday kumar
Thanks for the lovely comment! Have you done all 45 episodes of this drawing course already? Surely by the end, you’ll be sick of me! 😂❤️
I just found this and its super helpful for me who is learning how to draw from square one. Thank you so much!!
Sooo exciting! Join the facebook group and keep us posted with your progress!
Thank you so much. ☺️ I have always been a perfectionist and you really opened my eyes today. At this point in my life at 74 years, I will relax and enjoy making many mistakes while I learn how to draw. Gloria, Detroit
I'm no beginner but I am missing alot of fundamental elements in my work due to being stubborn when I was young, definitely going to take this course! thank you so much!
I'm Learning in November 2024
Micheal M. Is a great Instructor
You're mustache is the most beautiful thing in the friggin universe
this was really helpful. i noticed you mentioned a lot of exercises that my art teacher from high school told us about at the start of the first year and then we ended up not doing them. He ended up basically being like "here draw this" and then saying what you did good, but not what to improve on or how. So i appreciate even the little bits of advice in this video like to be aware when we're rushing too much and need to take a bit of time to improve accuracy, or when we're taking too much time and need to let go of perfectionism. It actually helped a lot to see your drawings weren't perfect either. Obviously you're a great artist, so it's like if you're allowed to make mistakes then so am i
This is such a nice paced, wholesome class and your style of teaching really clicked with me. I really thought I cannot draw but this went kinda good! Thank you so much I will watch more of your videos. Kind regards from the Netherlands
Thank you! I’m so happy you found my channel and enjoyed this video! I look forward to seeing what you do with all these new skills!
discovered your channel recently , wanted to draw again as i used to do as a kid ,lets how things work by the way love from INDIA
thanks for your effort
This was a really great video. I appreciate that you're easy to follow yet detailed and well-spoken. Can't wait to watch your other videos
These are so great and helpful. You are a good teacher and it shows. I’m on lesson 7 now and going strong. Thank you so much for sharing these it’s very helpful. Trying to learn art in my 30s with not much prior experience this is perfect. Thank you again.
I can't believe this is all for free, and I had so much fun, especially on the the upside down part xD . I was looking for a lessons to improve and then I found this with lots more, thank you very much sir!
