Hello.
I mean not to be disrespectful, and I understand that people are busy and random things can happen that make it very difficult to stick to schedule.
Plus, we were told that lessons would come "loosely" weekly, which doesn't imply a strict schedule anyways.
But despite all of that, I am quite disappointed regarding the situation on the last two months.
I couldn't find the exact dates of the lesson releases, but from what I can gather, the 4th lesson came out on 27th of march, and the next one on 16th april, and we've had no news since then. I'm writing this on 2nd of may.
This is closer to a monthly release.
Also, Jon mentioned he'd be critiquing the students work, but as far as I can see, the few reviews are all from other students.
Perhaps what frustrates me the most in this situation is the fact that we are not even told what's going on. Everyone acts like this is normal.
Could we at least have some explanation? Is it going to be like this all course long?
As someone who bought this on presale last year, and was quite excited, this is very annoying.
Perhaps I am in the wrong and my expectations were just too high. If that is the case, I understand that these things should be taken in consideration when purchasing yet-to-be completed courses on Proko.
I hope I'm not sounding needlessly rude. Please understand that I don't mean to cause negativity, and am asking for at least clarification.

Hello!
I would also like to share my toughts.
I am very dissapointed in this course. I was very excited to finally start it, and as a complete beginner I could not wait to jump into the world of painting and learn all the fundementals and tips and tricks that comes with the craft.
The schedule of the program is shambolic. It was stated that the new lessons will be released weekly or biweekly, yet we can be happy if we get one every month. I am sure that the instructor is busy and this is more of a side project for him, and I would not mind if it was kept by more than one intstructor, but I feel like this is unacceptable.
Most of the lessons so far were in timelapses. I am truly a beginner and do not have any experience when it comes to drawing or painting. These timelapses are not that useful for me because more than often I have no idea what is going on, what brushes are being used in what way. I understand that most people know it better and more obvious to them, but I feel like that the course sometimes are not that beginner friendly, and if you add to it the fact that the instructor promised to review and advise on the works we have done, and have not delivered, it leaves me very unsatisfied.
The course started off pretty well, I enjoyed it at the beggining, but for now I am very dissapointed and if it was a possibility I would refund the course.

Hi Jon!
I am a completely beginner "artist" I have started drawing only a few months ago, before that never even really touched a pen or a pencil (other then writing). I have been really enjoying the course, but this assignment felt a bit too hard, it felt like we jumped a bit too deep too soon. Would love to hear your feedback on this one, and looking forward to the next lesson!
