I think David is super knowledgable and I totally enjoyed his class. I really want to practice using his sketching and drawing style. I am lacking that big shape sketcky style so it will be good for me to learn. I think it will help my drawing tremendously. Thank you David and Creativebug for this class.

I was looking for fundamentals to start figure drawing, and this is exactly what I wanted. I'll likely take this class again to help lay a good foundation for future drawings.
