He’s not simply some guy who’s always liked to draw, got a microphone for Christmas and thought it’d be cool to make a course. I regard myself as an exceptionally unexceptional draftsman but can already sense some improvement in the way I’m tackling portraits. The value I’ve already received leaves me with absolutely no complaints. You’ll be getting A LOT of information from a guy who knows what he’s doing with this course. And the demos - from blank sheet of paper to finished, fully rendered drawing - are both highly informative and inspirational. I’m not sure you can ask for more than that from any instructor. It’s a keeper. Many Thanks, Mr P for putting this together. Sam PollardOf all the elements of drawing, portraiture is one of the most difficult to master. Practice alone is not enough to create portraits that come alive. That is the core value of this course. It provides a strong foundation for the individual to begin to master the creation of portraits of substance. This is not a course for the lazy. It requires patience and practice. But it will provide a roadmap that will allow the student to create fulfilling and satisfying portraits. Stuart GivotAn Excellent Course. I was Impressed by Chris’s Level of Knowledge, Experience and Expertise. This course has differently give me knowledge that will help me improve my work and help me integrate into work with Charcoal. Aisha SmithI was blown away of how great of a teacher Mr. Petrocchi is. He provided some incredible insights into helping me improve my facial drawing skills. It’s amazing of how easy and simple he teaches technique. I feel inspired and highly recommend his courses. I can’t wait to learn more from him! Tuese AhkiongHere is a clear, deep and well made course. Chris’s sense of art teaching is excellent, it’s like hanging out in his studio, looking over his shoulder (literally sometimes) and learning from following a professional. He talks out loud what goes on in his thoughts as he mindfully works his image. Seeing him work really helps me. His own career is used as an example, and I love all the personal stories that talk about his journey in the art world and specifically in this field of drawing portraits. The course is full of gold nuggets of info, stories, metaphors that help me put words and structure in my work. (I love the “Valley of the Suck” conceptso true! ) This course really helped me to clarify my work in regards to values. Also, it helps to come back to those foundations of the underlying structure of the face. I would recommend this course to anyone who wants to build a strong foundation and seriously wants to get into portrait art. As it is in my case, I would recommend it as well to any professional that wants to come back and touch those foundations again, one tends to forget stuff! Thank you Chris, and I agree “the figure is a song”!Philippe AmesIf you are ready to improve and go higher than you ever thought you could with your portraits then this course is for you!
