Ebooks
Not all of us prefer to learn from watching videos. Some of us prefer to learn from books as well as videos, so ebooks are included as well. This course has been developed to accelerate learning by teaching to many different learning styles. Each course module includes an illustrated ebook that corresponds with the video. Every step and concept is clearly illustrated and described in each ebook.
What Students Say
"You’ve shown me answers to so many of my questions about pen and ink. I plan to put what I’ve learned into practice and am excited about taking another course. Your instruction is excellent and well worth my time and money. Thank you. I’ve waited a long time for something like this." -Phoebe
"This course is SO great! I drew your landscape, a different face & still life, and your dog. I have drawn/painted with pen & ink before, but I still learned SO much. I had never been able to get myself to draw a face before, but I soldiered through, and I was happy with the result. Your instruction really helps. I also appreciate how we can download at different densities. It’s very expensive to stream video where I live, so it was nice to be able to download it and watch it at my own pace!!" -Karen
