  • This class was so well done. I started the course feeling intimidated and Stephen made us all feel like we could ask anything. After the second course I was already feeling confident I could navigate the drawings.

  • Virtual materials were great, appreciate the drawing set being condensed into what we are covering and not an overwhelming number of pages. Content was focused and followed a nice arc/story. Stephen is a great instructor for this course and showed a lot of restraint into not going into too much detail since this is a 101 course. He's got the knowledge for it and I'm sure he'll have other great courses in the future.
