This is an amazing course! Definitely exceeded what I was expecting before I signed up on it. Proko has incredible teaching skills and had some awesome guests who had also terrific didactics. Since it's a free course you won't get much exercises to do, but it will surely give you some ideas on what and how to practice your drawing skills. Sometimes the order of the videos was confusing, probably because I think it's a big cluster of classes summed up on a single course. Worth it!

I like the way he explains and breaks down concepts to make them more simple and easy to grasp -
Too obsessed with himself. Showing himself more than drawings. A lot of talking and not direct instructions on how to draw. Makes drawing seem boring with all the talkning and no doing.
