At first the loudness/audio quality of the video really turned me off. But then you explained things so simple and crystal clear, that I felt embarrassed about my initial reaction.

Your videos are so, so great. Thank you very much.

[rovorovo]

This really did help me, I almost quit cause i could not understand what to do or where to start, until I saw this so thanks.

[zammiejones]

I really love the way you explain the fundamentals, there's always one little side note you put on. Which I haven't heard anywhere else.
I know this is an old video, and you probably won't read this, but thank you 🙏🏼

I've watched plenty of videos, but this one actually explains everything thoroughly. Everyone always talks about breaking down subjects into simple shapes/forms but you actually demonstrated how to with simple subjects, complex subjects, and natural subjects. Thank you so much for making this video!!

As a beginner, this video really helped me to realize what I need to focus on and find direction. Thanks so much.

I understood so many things. I dont know how you do that but cudos..you are really good at putting the process of drawing step by step in words so well

Way to open my eyes even more and I've been drawing for years. Thank you

[deannakent]

So happy to have found your channel and this fundamental series. Well done! I'm an old fart who has always been interested in drawing but haven't taken the time to learn. It's tougher to learn now. My fingers are arthritic and my brain isn't as sharp and my eyes are shot but hey learning without judging the initial results is as fun as it ever was. I'm in. Thank you for sharing.

i've been wanting to practice art for a long time, and i've watched a countless amount of videos and tutorials and i don't think any other video has helped me or given me a clear understanding of what i'm learning as much as this video has ! i know this video was posted years ago but it was genuinely helpful, thank you !

Finally some good advice and exercises for drawing forms! I’ve been looking forever for something like this!

[humaira]

Can't thank you enough for these free lessons.

[iamacatwholovesbread]

Thank you for this!!! I can't go to art school, so I learn as much as I can online. I'm working on my forms and shapes, and this is one of the videos that explained the topic so simply and clearly 💖

[sundaymourning_]

i’m so glad to have found a video that actually breaks these concepts down so a beginner can absorb it. this is the first series i’ve watched that actually makes SENSE to me, instead of just “study the fundamentals” and listing what they are without explaining how to do it
