Wow - I'm so glad I found this! I didn't go to art school, and I think this is what I missed! Honestly, it's really improved everything in my work, and I would recommend this to anyone who loves to draw.

Comparing this with other sources I've used or checked, this is one of the ones where everything sounds reasonably simple and can all be learned off of youtube assuming you know which one to search. So basically nothing really new.

However what I really like about this is the fact that it's so easily digestible and the way that it's all presented in a very easy step by step process that other paid tutorials can't even seem to do properly.

So for $50, if you've used nothing but free stuff, I'd highly recommend this as a first purchase for learning how to draw anatomy.

I have watched most of the free video content, and while it could have been useful to a beginner, it teaches a lot of erroneous things, such as dividing too much a head in "halves" in a "perfect" square. The head is a box but of a rectangular shape, not a square, and those with life study experience will also tell you that measuring with halves only work for so much, because you always find people who don't fit that category.

To be honest, I wouldn't even give one cent to someone who can't even confidently draw a single straight line without darkening it by drawing it over, which is extremely wrong not to do as a "professional". If this person truly had clients such as Disney and Lucas Art like his website states, this kind of work would need to go fast, and he would have gained the confidence to draw a nice, clean line or an ellipse without so much as a flinch. This is why people like Scott Robertson are much better than him and his 40 bucks video library.

I usually recommend that anyone tries and sticks to a website called drawabox. This helps to do things even the author of this video isn't able to do, such as:

- a clean, straight line drawn with confidence and improve line quality
- an ellipse of any angle and rotation, up to a perfect circle
- a methodic and mechanic way to learn information
- perspective down to a level where it is no longer needed to be drawn for the growing artist
- a community centered about improving themselves and willing to help others

And it is 100% free.

Combine that with books from Loomis, Bridgman, vlippu's videos on New master's academy($35 per month for an entire video library of deciated and masterful artists), life studies, and proko's free videos, and you will have a better understanding of everything that person is not teaching you, more naturally, than being fed erroneous information from the wrong people.

I want to learn how to draw and I think that these tutorials helped me a lot on how to get a grasp on it, I did the first 3 and loved it. I love the pace and explanations given. I would love for a similarly detailed course about envoiroment art, like the perspective thing, framing, color palette, etc. I would love to know where to begin on drawing a scene on a jungle, desert, urban, utopian and dystopian and to be able to fit a character there and convey a statement or maybe even a story. Anyway this is a great start. I've always wanted to draw as a way to cope and deal with my shaky hands, and I was very happy with the result, might be a bad drawing now, but I know where to go.
As a side note, every video takes its own spot on steam library, which is kind of annoying, but that's clearly a steam problem, for now I just hid it so it wouldn't bother, so I have to access it through the hidden label.

This is the best human drawing lesson I had so far. It teaches you from the very basic in a very logical and scientisfic way so that you can actually repeat it on your own without help. This is the first time I actually feel like I understand how to draw a figure from zero, and I have gone through tons of books without the same effect in the past. Definitely worth the month if you are serious about improving your human drawing skill.

Very informative series of videos. I have no artistic experience at all, and the first video really showed so much information. I had to buy a specific pencil, kneaded eraser and a sketchbook to start but those were pretty low cost anyway. It really opened up my mind on how drawing works.

I spent more money on a set of pencils than I did this Tutorial series. Well worth the investment. I watched the 1st 3 videos grabbed my scetch book and started inventing my blueprint. Held my book up to the monitor and was like wow I just did the same thing. Video 4 here we come.

So, I have been watching the free episodes for a couple of nights.
Everything going good. Was able to follow along just fine. Then this
guy starts talking about negative space in episode 5. Im like, OK,
whatever. Then he says it a couple of more times later on. Starting
to get skeptical, because for the life of me I can't understand what
he is getting at. Episode 6, dude keeps throwing this term out there,
and I'm like, yo, this guy doesn't even know what negative space...AHA!
Like a light it turned on for me. Episode 6 is aptly named.

Just take my money already!

10/10

This is a long, roughly 80 hour course in learning how to draw the human figure from your mind, Mr. Phoenix covers a surprisingly large amount of material which includes the skeletol and muscular system. I have gone through this entire course, and I can say with confidence it has definitely improved my drawing abilities, especially with the human figure directly from my mind!

I would suggest to Mr. Phoenix to slow down a bit from time to time in any future tutorials he does, however that is nothing a quick pause to the video cannot fix. It's understandable why he is fast, as he is a proffesional artist of many years.

I would recommend this course to anyone who has a goal of learning to draw the human figure directly from imagination. I would also like to recommend a book:
Freehand figure drawing for illustrators by David H. Ross.

This book will also be good as Mr. Ross covers some things Mr. Phoenix did not. I would still recommend this course, as it is easier to follow along and see how Mr. Phoenix draws, which is the advantage with these videos as opposed to learning from a book.

Thank you Mr. Phoenix for a wonderful 80 hours of helping me improve my drawing ability!

A must have regardless If you are already an artist or not, it goes into details step by step, lectures you through exercises while keeping everything in a easy-to-understand way with practical studies you can learn in every single lesson this course provides.
