Wow, there is so much in this class! It took me a few days to get through all of the lessons, but I really enjoyed each step.

Hands and Feet - I, like many others, have a lot of trouble drawing hands and feet. I will often pose my character with their hands out of sight, so I don’t have to draw them, but now I feel like I’m up for the challenge! Thanks, Charly, for walking me through the basic make up of a hand and how to sketch it, I honestly think these are some of the best looking hands I’ve ever drawn!

Thanks for another great class, Charly! You are so generous with sharing your knowledge and I can feel myself becoming more confident with each class I take.
