This was a super class. I liked the exercises using the timer. It helped me to draw faster. The sack of grain helped me visualize the torso in its various positions. (I'm going to make one using small beans.) The pace was great. Thanks for not using your iPad this time. A+ session!

This class was amazing! I learned so much with the step by step drawing process we used during this class. I feel like I really ‘got it’ where I’ve struggled with figure classes before.
