How i have found the course

I have found the course very interesting as I am enhancing my art skills and learning new techniques to draw. I have produced pencil drawings, stick & ink, watercolour, stencil cut, collage, fine-liner studies, and setting up blogs. The stencil cut was more challenging than the others because it was hard to do curves and circles and trying to make sure I didn’t cut myself. I have enjoyed drawing buildings from pictures and I’m looking forward to drawing characters and people.
