I’m sure this is an excellent course as all of your online content I’ve seen is excellent. And I’m equally sure I would enjoy and benefit from this course, but not $250 worth. For an online course for drawing the head, this is frankly way overpriced when all of this content can be found for free online along with a couple of $20 books. A little more effort to gather together, but for the average person worth the savings. Your approach, while well presented, is not some breakthrough approach to drawing the head. It is standard stuff that has been known by tens of thousands of artists for hundreds of years. Just my opinion of course, but I think you would likely do much better at a lower price point with more purchases.

Thanks for the feedback and for recognizing the quality of my content. I get your perspective on the course pricing. The Block In course is designed to give a comprehensive, structured learning experience that goes deeper than what you’d usually find for free or in books. The price reflects the effort, expertise, and value it offers for people looking for a focused, immersive approach. I appreciate your input and will keep it in mind as I work on refining my courses.

Great to work on block in , it is the foundation but too often skipped in lessons. I relate with Edward here, same issues, but Stephen is giving good advices. my question is: what is suggested pencil for block in? Sometimes I read a hard one, for example 2h, sometimes a soft one for example 4b…. I m confused. Thanks!
Stephen Bauman
Either one can be used. I ask students to start with an H or HB for block in studies. If you intend to progress to a full value drawing then starting with a B or 2B is also ok.
