I thought this Dvd would be off the hook but it's just OK. I feel like he could have given more depth details and maybe expand some of the chapters. This DVD is divided into 12 chapters. Each chapter has its own exercises, which i think they were good(not all of them). The teaching is Mainly about looking for simple shapes, Lines, Tones, Light and Shadows, Perspective and Landscapes. Like i said, it doesn't give a lot of Depth Details about each subject. I'm just so glad that they came up with a DVD for Drawing cuz u get to see the person in action like u would in a classroom and it gives u a feeling of encouraging.

This something I purchased to use in conjunction with my iTune University videos I have been watching. Trying to teach an old dog new tricks. I have not taken any art courses since high school. Never took art in undergraduate or graduate school. Should have! to late now... :)
This is a good video for someone who is attempting to start a new hobby. The menu is easy to navigate. I have simply copied it to my iTunes via Handbrake and can now watch it on one of my external monitors that sits right next to my drafting table. If you are an accomplished artist or paid attention in high school this will probably be way to basic. I watched it yesterday with my 6 year old grandson who is the reason I have attempted to learn drawing etc.... He is very talented and has challenged me to try it out. He quickly picked up some of the tricks and put them to use. I was amazed at the little guy. Budding artist! I do truly think you will pleased with this dvd if you are a newbie to drawing. The title Learn to see is very appropriate. The artist helps you to see in new ways as you develop your skills.

I found this dvd to be excellent in teaching my children the basics of drawing. I highly recommend it.
