Read MoreI LOVED this class! Hands have always been a kind of nemesis of mine--I have never felt like I could get them right, no matter what I did. I thought my heads were OK--but after I took this class, I discovered how much better they could be! I was amazed at how much my skills improved in just a few weeks. Though I still need to practice more and perfect them, I no longer feel intimidated because I now have the tools to construct the anatomy believably. David is an awesome instructor and goes above and beyond to make sure that everyone is clear on the concepts. Highly recommended!
