Hello Mr Huston, I just wanted to say thank you for teaching. I took your New Master Academy, Art Anatomy for Beginners course last year and it certainly help me understanding and simplifying the human body. Thank you very much Mr Huston and may God bless you. I hope to one day, draw and paint just like you and make good art! Thank you again!

Excellent teaching! I am very new to drawing and invariably would start to get a rounded look to one breast and the other would be flat. This video and another short explaining 2 value system finally clicked in my mind to help me begin to solve the problem. Thank you! This is great art.
