Read MoreHi guys! So I am a self taught artist and I had (have) a really hard time finding materials that teach the essentials of color and light. I felt as if you've taken a look into my brain to find out what questions I have for this topic...and you nailed it. I can see things differently now and will probably do them differently as well. Thanks again for this course!

Read MoreI am actually still watching the videos in this course but it's really long, which I don't mind, it's just that I find myself looking for time cues like I did on Lynda.com. They definitely help with managing time, let's say I know this course is 14 hours long, but I don't know how long each video is so I may start 1 and sleep before i finish watching it. I could watch something else that is shorter and save the longer videos for when I have more time. Is it possible to add a feature that lets us know how long each video is and how much time is left? Great stuff here guys. Thanks for all the amazing tips and demos <3
