    The course itself was extremely helpful for me, specifically because it showed me the basic techniques that anyone may need to start drawing or sketching. The way that the course built up was also quite interesting as it started slowly and gradually became a bit more advanced. With relation to the explanations, I was extremely satisfied specifically because there were a lot of examples which assisted the viewers to better understand each step and what is required to do. Something that could be changed is that some videos are private, meaning that I could not access them which made me lose a bit of the explanations. But overall, I really enjoyed the course.
