Dear Steven Zapata, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for the amazing tutoriales about shading that you provided in this online drawing course. Your clear instructions and creative insights have truly helped me improve my skills and confidence as an artist. I appreciate the time and effort you put into each lesson, making complex concepts accessible and enjoyable. Thank you for your guidance and support throughout this journey! Best regards, Huayra Nadalino Rioja.

Really learned a ton from you Steven. Thanks for taking the time to share the wisdom you earned over your lifetime.

HI everyone! Here are two illustrations I made thanks to all Steven's techniques: with graphite pencils, stumps and erasers (and a little photoshop levels adjustment). Really loved this course: very concise and effective. A liberating and very instinctive approach!

I don't know how you could come up with the full figure or world tree if you didn't already have a really solid knowledge and background of both figure drawing and drawing various textures and organic forms. I don't think I could come up with something like this from my head.

Thank you for this course. This is one of the best instructional video I have watched. Very inspiring and approachable.

practices after taking the course. would appreciate critique.
