I took this class not really having high expectations because I have never had an interest in drawing. But I like learning new things. I was blown away with Shelby's approach to drawing. So, now.... I am in love with drawing and sketching. All because I took Shelby's class. If you have never drawn before, go for it. Who knows, you may have the same experience I did! Some examples included.
Shelby has opened my eyes to how to draw in a whole new direction, this is a CORE ESSENTIAL course for anyone looking to improve and level up as well as to really think about and present from what they see to make into what is on their paper in front of them. I look forward to repeated views on this particular course. Thanks, Shelby!
