So much fun to watch these from 3 years ago and what was going on then. Pandemic, basement renos, Edie is only 9 months !!. love what you are teaching.

Hello, I have a brand new art-notebook for your videos and applying everystep you do! thank you for not deleting these series. even my mum glads you're helping me. thank you sir!

These classes are amazing! I am learning so much, appreciating how therapeutic the process is and feeling really good about the drawings I am producing. I would highly recommend to anyone looking to learn how to draw or looking to improve their current skill level.

Hi Michael. I've been following these lessons for a month, more or less, and I have learned a lot from you both in terms of art and illustration skills and also in terms of gaining insight in learning process, which truly applies to our daily lives. I sincerely believe on what you have mentioned in this session, that "Everybody is standing on the shoulders of previous generations," maybe because I learned this lesson the hard way and that the generation that I was looking into had hidden truth from us. My homeland, Iran has been occupied by an autocracy since 1979, there is no freedom of speech there, artists have been severely suppressed, and censorship has ruined most of what Iran used to have when it was a proud monarchy with a rich culture and art. It took me a long time to find out who my previous generations truly were and what they really did before that nasty revolution in 1979. Millions of Iranians like me born into war, social repressions and censorship, and for decades we thought that those were normal situations all over the world. The occupying regime has left not much for us to look into and to see how Iran looked like before the revolution; thus all that Iranians have to learn and imitate have been religious doctrines and nonsense. I'm sorry for my long comment, but I felt I should tell these facts to confirm your words on the importance of imitation, and that aside from death, there are evil people out there that can keep from us the sources and references of human history and art. Internet helped Iranians a lot to learn about their past, but years ago the regime started to block the internet, too. There's a severe internet censorship in Iran and a long list of filtered social media, which KZfaq is one of them. Unfortunately, Iranian people have to use proxies to watch your lessons, if Iran's super-slow, time-wasting internet connection does not make them give it up altogether. I live in the UK, I easily access loads of learning materials either online or in real life; but Iranian people have been struggling to access such resources. I believe the fact that we have materials at hand that we can imitate and learn from, is a neglected fact in free countries. There are millions of people all over the world in Iran, North Korea, China, and etc. who have been deprived of such simple, but critical freedom that they could have used to get themselves free from dictatorships. My strong motive to follow your lessons is also to learn how do draw, so I can fight for freedom in Iran through art. Thank you very much again for sharing your precious experiences and skills with us. I really appreciate what I have been learning here.

I didn't know I could draw like this!!!! Thank you so much! The grid really helped me with proportions!!!

Please Sir make a series on how to make comics.

Thank you so much for the lessons, Michael.

Thank you a lot, even are a little old are very accurate. :)😀

Today drawing was the worst drawing I've did 😅 It's ok cause I have problems with drawing head and hand But I see that there are lessons for that , so I am too excited 😊

Half way through, and I got my sketchbook, and pencils! I was too stoned to do all the grid stuff today, but after watcing the whole thing I have soooooooo much more respect for this style of replication.

Thank you very much for the videos.

I am very happy to have found your videos 🙏😅🤭

Thank you for the interesting lessons =)

Hello Michael! Thanks for a wonderful class, I’ve always found utilizing a grid to be kinda difficult in college and HS art courses but it seemed a bit easier here. Are there any tips for those who have smaller sketchbooks under 8x11 but still want to follow along with the number by letter grid?

Hello Michael - your classes are awesome. Thank you for these. Is there a way to communicate with without Facebook? I don’t use social media but would love feedback on my progress.

🎉❤

My grid turned out rly distorted cuz i have a square sketch book.. which doesnt make sense to me cuz its the same amount of lines in the grid..

Hardest class so far, and it wasn’t even because of the face, but the toilet paper hahahaha

What app or method can we use to apply a grid to an image? A free one would be great. Thank you in advance.

I’m trying to use the gird but the box’s of my paper are to wide or long compared to the drawing I’m doing, it ends up looking weird , to wide or to long. And I just ditch the grind and copy without it. but I already erased to much, any tips? Is it that my paper is to big compared the drawing, if so can u tell me what sized images to use. (I use the same sketch book that you use in the video )if not thank you for the class tho.sorry for making a long paragraph for you to read 😂

I appreciate these tutorials, but I am wondering, after seeing many tutorials and reading books, what is the purpose of grid and tracing techniques. Whenever I do that it I am lead to believe afterwards that I will never be able to reproduce the image without such "cheating" tools. I wonder if anyone else feels this way...

Maybe you drawin is better then mine said markowsky, and i'm lookin at my drwa and think ' sweet mother of jesus burn it now!'

I cannot do this flower right, it looks like crap. I just don't see it.

The we can do this drawing proved to me that not everybody can draw, I have realized now that I have been wasting my time learning to draw, it isn't something I can do or ever will be able to do. I guess it just makes more sense to use AI
