For artists starting or think of starting this tutorial: DO IT. Try to follow along as closely as possible, this gave me a TON of insight when painting and it really helps on your own art. Lovely tutorial!

Finished the course earlier this year and have to say it was one of the best learning experiences I had in art. It's structured really well and every lesson has assignments that really hammer down the lessons so the knowledge doesn't just disappear into the void. Everything is explained really well and very often in different ways, showing different approaches to archive the goal. Plus I really think that besides the theoretical knowledge you internalize a great mindset during the course to loosen up, play with the different subjects and not be afraid of mistakes. Definitely recommend this course for people who wanna learn painting and portraiture, it's absolutely worth it!

Any one that is familiar with Ahmed and his work, are also familiar with his teaching style! Med’s Map has to be one of the most clear and concise digital painting courses I’ve taken in a long time. No matter your experience in digital painting, there is ALWAYS something you can take away from this. The videos are just long enough to keep you engaged and focused and the assignments help solidify what you’ve just learned. I think the most rewarding part is that you see the progress! I know it isn’t always about getting from point A to point B…BUT I’ve notice a change in the span of 3-4 months and it’s actually insane! Of course you will always get out what you put in and this is a course thats meant for people who are willing and serious about learning! As someone who still frequents Med’s Map, I can assure you it’s worth the investment!

Every Ahmed aldoori tutorial that I've watched, has ACTUALLY helped improve...watched this one and now my digital painting has drastically changed for the better.

This tutorial is PERFECT, i always wondered how some digital artist do that traditional painting style (like WLOP) for example, this tutorial helped me so much understanding brushwork, i even noticed techniques (like the lost edges and removing detail on purpose) that i can see on other artist pieces. Also this are really good fundamentals if you are a beginner, he teched light, form, points of focus, composition, contrast, color, values and brushwork, all packed in one video

HOLY shiba- i was like "lol look at this L red circle with some dark and light lines on it" and a few strokes later it looks like a friggin legit apple-- friggin sorcery very cool. i love how stylized it looks!

[Wrennedraws]

Med's course is amazing, especially if you're trying to self-teach. His lessons build upon the fundamentals in a very intuitive way, managing to be comprehensive but not overwhelming. I can credit this course – and the awesome community around it – with helping my skills grow to an incredible degree in the last year. If you’re a self-taught artist looking to fill the gaps in your knowledge, I absolutely recommend Med’s Map!

Man I wish I knew this stuff 6+ years ago when I first picked up a drawing tablet. These concepts are super basic to me now but it took painstaking trial and error to get there. Like layer masks!? Hah what kind of black magic. Great work providing quality tutorials for any budding artist to access

[cooldotamen]

This preview even after closing the video leaves me with more than just a preview and it felt i've learned like 5 courses in a 30 minute video! I'm applying the concepts thought on this preview just as i'm practicing and I'm enjoying it! Seeing the comments too that they vouch for this course makes me wanna save up for this course!

[jessejayjones]

Such a great explanation of painting techniques that actually gives an interesting result, as opposed to just trying to recreate a photo! Would love to take this whole course at some point! ❤

[shadowgoethe]

I consider myself an intermediate artist. I know line work, volume, lighting, shadows, color and rendering to a good degree. But I always hated that I could paint IRL but never learned digital painting. After seeing this lil preview I think I can finally learn to make digital art without lines! I'll definitely be signing up for your course!!!

This is the best digital painting tutorial I've ever watched. Before, I had no idea how to even aproach digitial drawing, even though I'm not that bad with more traditional drawing techniques. After this I feel like I finally understand how does it work and I'm able to produce some nice paintings. Many thanks to you.

Ahmed is a great teacher. I appreciate how he doesn't just tell you what to do next, but explains the theory every step of the way.

[odin]

I'm so happy that he finally joined Proko.

[wevidahwabbit]

Ahmed is such a great teacher and wonderful person who's been encouraging me when I had no faith in my art QwQ not long after I finished Med's Map I got a contract job as a character designer/ illustrator!! Don't hesitate to join the FUN journey to level up! It's such a steal for all the nuggets he generously shared in there! And he just added more content for free what???!! The community is really nice too if you feel lonely and at loss doing art!

[ahmedshakib]

Ahmed is not just a fantastic artist but a great teacher.

[artgeometrix]

Such a helpful video. Great stuff! Really appreciate the content

[saynaabedkhojasteh]

one of the most helpful tutorials I've ever watched thank you for sharing it

[johnalberse]

I'm about halfway through this course. If you put in the effort with the assignments and take your time, you will improve by leaps and bounds. It's really the best resource I've found for learning art.
