Thank you for this wonderful course Patrick! I have learned lots and your teachings have worked wonders. I will be revising the notes for years to come. I am looking forward to the new course and in the meantime I will visit some anatomy books to get familiar with the muscles and structures

Final one, will do the course again to continue learning to observe and draw, thank you Patrick.

Final drawing of the course, and I left the hair as it is in the reference.

After this rich journey with Patrick, I have now created my own fantasy figure. As I drew, the story took shape, which is another new fantastic approach I learned in this course. Once again my warmest thanks @Patrick Jones and thanks to @Proko for those amazing Reference bundles Dumped in the mud and castaway, A young girl finds herself discovering, What wonderful powers she was covering - A delicate creature but she could array Her beautiful wings, as if to say "A soiled body and a broken mind, Cannot cause injury enough to grind, A woman's spirit and her dragon heart - They give me wings so that I may Soar high and fly far far away" my dearest niece Maia Helmbold has expressed my story so wonderfully in these lyrics

What a wonderfull and inspiring journey with Patrick. I enjoyed every moment and soaked up all his strokes and words. I still have a long way to go and I look forward to every little bit of progress. I did‘t feel ready for this „last“ drawing and needed a lot of scetching and three attempts before finally I decided to finish this one. @patrickjones Thank you from the bottom of my heart, you are a true inspiration! 

I am done, and I am exhausted. Took the entire course in one week. Very happy with the last piece. I learned a lot from it about how to actually finish the drawing. It's always very hard to think of what to add after the initial structure sketch. The detailing in this final lesson is fantastic - it feels much more finished and alive without feeling over-detailed, like it doesn't have every strand of hair drawn detail, but the atmosphere, the ornaments, the stylistic choices, the background add so much more than strands of hair ever would. This last lesson felt pretty fast, somewhat hard to follow, I think it took me 1.5 hours instead of 1, with all the pauses and rewinds when trying to look at what @Patrick Jones was doing and then focusing on replicating the same. Thank you so much for the podcasty feel, definitely calmed me down, as I felt quite nervous going into the last piece - something about it being the last piece added the pressure of wanting it to be good and not messing up. All the suggestions really helped with not feeling as anxious about my work, and it was awesome to see how you managed to fix and change pretty major parts of the artwork. Here are my final pieces - the one from the previous lesson, the final one, and my small SFW variation, as I plan to share it with friends who might not be ready for the nudity. Thank you SOOOOO MUCH for this course, it was phenomenal - I'll be rewatching it a few more times to really digest all the information.

Thank you for your inspirations and insights! You are a live legend of fantasy art! It is a honor to have possibility lean from your videos.

Thank you @Patrick Jones I could definitely see my progression throughout the workshop. I was using pencil at first because I was afraid of the charcoal but this last one I went all or nothing and what a difference it made. I took the risk as you said.

Thank you @Patrick Jones for assembling this 14 hour instructional video. I appreciate your insights and admire your artistic style and skill. Very inspirational.

And so I've come to the end of the line, what a journey it's been. I'm stoked with the results I've gotten from these workshops, so glad I decided to take this course and that I was able to finish it. The overall video runtime might be 14hrs, but it took me considerably more to complete this in its entirety. Taking things slowly (or moving as fast as you're able without sacrificing quality or diligence) pays out in the end, as there's lots to unpack here throughout these lessons and all of it helps going forwards. All in all, great course here, thoroughly enjoyed it! I'm looking forward to hopefully taking the male counterpart to this if/when you ever get round to it. I'm very happy with finish on this drawing and glad I could end this series on a high note.

Great course definitely can see improvement in my work just from following along in the workshops!
