Read MoreI watched this video before I did the "How to Draw Everything" and after going thru that class I see everything i learned in that class. And I Appreciate the final drawing more, after I rewatching the videos again. I give it 4 star only because there wasn't a list of all the supplies he talks about. But you can go to "How to Draw Everything" and download a PDF of all the tools he uses and links to them.

Enjoyed the class. Easy, laid back teaching approach was very much appreciated. Good visuals on actual sketching, inking and coloring. Very good class.
