A Big Thank You to Dorian Iten – A Transformative Learning Experience I can recommend “The Shading Course”, by Dorian Iten. As someone who started the course as a beginner, I was amazed at how much progress I made—not just in my technical skills, but in how I see and understand light, form, and value. One of the absolute highlights of the course for me are the feedback sessions. These are not just helpful—they’re transformative. Dorian tailors his feedback to your current level, making it incredibly accessible and encouraging. He does paint-overs, shares parts of his own drawing process, and points out things you simply wouldn’t have noticed on your own. His insights helped me break through barriers I didn’t even know I had and break through paralysing blocks that hindered progress. I was so impressed with the depth of the course and the improvement I saw in my work that I decided to take it a second time. And I’m so glad I did. There’s so much to absorb, and with each pass, my understanding deepened and my control in drawing improved significantly. This course is more than just a technical guide—it enhanced my observation skills and artistic growth. If you’re considering it, I wholeheartedly encourage you to give it a try. Whether you're a beginner or more advanced, there’s something incredibly valuable here for everyone. Thank you, Dorian, for your generosity, your clarity, and your dedication to helping my drawing skills grow. This course has truly been a game-changer for me.

It was sooooo hard, I took almost 3 hrs to draw this project. I think I need to practice more to make it faster.
