I really enjoyed this course. Her instructions were clear, simple and easy to follow along with, and were given in bite size pieces which I appreciate. I hope maybe one day she’ll make an advanced course with more complex pieces and techniques :)

I really enjoyed the easy, step-by-step guides that each lesson provided. The instructor did an excellent job of demonstrating the work, and the provided guides are handy for learning a new skill. I left the class excited to follow the patterns given, but I also felt excited to try out some of my own. I believe that the tools in the class provide a solid foundation for starting in this type of art.

I loved the great energy of David Perez, the way he explains things, the way he gives advices on some details i think this is what really matters for animator - to have fun of what you do! trying to simplify all the steps all the points is the best way to go further and not to stuck into your own or someone's demands, so focus on getting fun on the process. thank you David for this course and the way it has been explained. Loved it very much.

Every so often I like to strip back to foundations and rebuild areas of my knowledge that have become dilapidated with time. I was always taught to never be too proud to go back to basics and reassess things you thought you had sussed out. In this pursuit, other people's perspectives are key in freshening up your dusty old techniques, and even teaching you some smart tips that streamline your creative process. Rodgon is packed full of tips that will do just that for you in an unstuffy and personable manner. I've learned a raft of latin-drenched anatomical terms, I've sat though a ton of dense artistic theory and put in years of practice on prescriptive exercises,and while all of these things are feathers in your beret (though not all necessary - believe me), it's tough to find a teacher with real flow who can just cut through to what's pertinent and applicable. This spiffingly moustachioed gentleman is just such a teacher: straightforward, practical, effective and refreshingly unpretentious, in an arena where navel-gazing and know-it-allism is rife. Just remember that nobody is the font of all knowledge, and we're all building from generations of understanding, but that should be an endeavour in becoming leaner and smarter, without extraneous bloat. This course is a great place to get down to brass tacks and get grounded - then you can decide if you really need a 90hr deep dive course on the workings of the index finger that's going to cost most of your months wage. Cheers Rodgon for being legit.

Erika so clear on what to do. It was hard not to want to skip videos because it feels slow at first, but after the first few videos, it was clear and I understood! I have always wanted to create digital art, but it was too hard to understand, but now I do! This course is highly recommended!

I really enjoyed the course for many reasons: I am drawing cartoons and my characters have developed a certain style over the years. However, when it comes to more complicated poses or to comissioned work that requires a deeper understanding of anatomy I quickly reach my limits. Rodgon, you helped me to establish a solid method that is easy to remember but nevertheless reflects human anatomy in great detail! And that is fantastic! Furthermore - I like you as a teacher! You are master in your field and have a very empathic approach to share knowledge. You show that any sophisticated artwork is based on a (more or less) simple construction. So thank you very much!!! Hope you will share more in coming courses! Good luck for you and keep going! It took me much longer than 21 days

I was looking for a course that explains anatomy like this. The tools and methods mentioned are REALLY working, they are all usable, practical, and help seeing the context clearly when it comes to proportions, shapes, and the rest. Thank you so much, this course is absolutely brilliant.

I’m still working on this course but I have already learned so much! And I was able to put what I learned to use on current projects I’m working on! Erika is an excellent instructor & I’m finding this course so useful!

I give this course a high rating for what it is. Those who give it a lower rating seem to be rating it for what it is NOT. This is not a “learn how to draw” course, nor is it a “let’s build a character together” course. This is a course that explains a lot of the theory behind character design. I may watch it again and use it to create a checklist. As a monotone speaker myself, I felt very comfortable with Randy’s presentation style, and I feel like I got a peek behind the curtain of a successful artist in the industry. Very valuable.

I really enjoyed taking this course and learning to draw in a cartooney style. However in lesson 10 title snowmen, Mark makes a mention of The Rat Pack, and that Bing Crosby was a member, but he wasn't. One of the iconic members was Frank Sinatra, who he did not mention. And Frank is literally in the picture he displays in the video, when he mentions The Rat Pack. Just thought that was funny.

I took storyboard courses before, but this one helped me with clarity in linework and the dos and dont for boards overall. And why my storyboards look flat and no character emotion acting.

Thank you, Erika. I have learned a lot from your techniques and I love your final message as I can definitely apply it on my journey especially the feeling of inadequacy and boredom. I highly recommend this course.

I really enjoyed this course. David gave here and there some insightful tips that play a fundamental role in drawing balanced characters. I think this course has a lot of potential and I am sure that with time David will keep expanding the course material and making it to a more complete course. This course is suitable for absolute beginners. Thanks for your work David.

Tony Bancroft really managed to simplify the process of creating more engaging and clear illustrations in a fun and easy way ! As someone who struggles with composition and background art, I feel like his class really helped me understand and improve what makes a compelling image ! Thank you for this class !

In terms of what I liked from the course, she explains her process step-by-step really well and her process makes things feel a lot more intuitive and easier. I like how she uses certain pencils in the sketch to vary line weight to keep the sketch clean/nicely varied from the beginning since I struggle with sketching but use microns a lot to clean things up and they reminded me of that and give you a lot of control over line weight. Her process is also really straightforward and makes transitioning to digital a lot easier since she explains things really well and keeps her digital process simple and also builds on the initial sketch without covering it. I think the reason I put it as intermediate and not beginner or absolute beginner is because this is heavily tailored towards procreate. You could use other drawing software, but procreate is way more streamlined and simple while drawing without a tablet on a computer relies more on knowing keyboard shortcuts and it probably won't be as intuitive as using a tablet the way she does. It's good for transitioning to digital if you already know a bit about digital or the program you're using. It's probably best if you're struggling to make stuff look good in digital or if you really like her art style and want to pick up on aspects of it or emulate it. Art style-wise and process-wise, this course was extremely helpful.

I find her step-by-step instructions and explanations helpful; however, I think sometimes she glosses over certain steps towards the end, like which layers she is using soft light, and overlay. The examples are practical and helpful for those who struggle with applying color theory to their works.
