Drawing Faces and Portraits

I was the redhead who drove in every week from Tacoma. It was worth it. You really have something going if you can take someone like me and turn me into an artist, well, a beginning artist anyway! But that’s way ahead of where I was. Thanks again Nils!

Nils, Just wanted to let you know that I completed my application to the Game Animation Certificate program, and as of a week ago received notice of my acceptance. One of my portfolio pieces was a charcoal figure based upon one of the exercises from class – and of course, I’d never touched charcoal before meeting you. Thanks again for all the tips and encouragement! Your classes really helped polish my skills and boost my confidence a great deal.

Your teaching style was a pleasure to learn by and I enjoyed your class very much.

Thanks for taking some time before the class to help me figure out which class I should take. You weren’t just trying to “sell” me a class, you helped me find the one that would be a good next step for me.

I took the “Drawing for Absolute Beginners” course and it was wonderful. I feel like I got a well-rounded introduction to the basics: shapes, shading, perspective, and negative space. The instructor, Nils, explains things well and gives great exercises. My drawing has improved immensely and I feel like I have the skills to keep learning and improving!
