In lesson one, we discuss the materials and begin loose sketching to find the features of the face.
Lesson 2 (1:16:02)
In lesson two, we refine the features of the face and develop the hand and pipe.

In lesson three, we continue to refine the face and hair and begin adding compressed charcoal.
Lesson 4 (1:14:49)
In lesson four, we work on the beard and increase contrast in the shadows.
Lesson 5 (1:20:49)
In lesson five, we draw the smoke coming from the pipe and complete the drawing.

I car to join in live tomorrow night can I do it later or not, I have just joined so still finding my way around
You just sign in to live class and wait for count down….10-9-8-etcThen you can share communications with those in class and with Matt and Ashley!
Oh I just saw that somewhere there is a favourite button where you can save it to watch later, does that appear when the lesson starts.?
It is possible after Matt records the lesson usually anywhere from 3-5 days after the class.
Then you can go at your own speed ….do a little and pause etc…
It remains recorded for entire time of classes and afterwards.
Matt where is class #3 ??
