Wow! Camilla d'Errico is not only one of my favorite artists, turns out she's an exceptional teacher, as well! Her instructions are clear, concise, and adaptable to any sort of style -- she's really giving foundations here, not trying to train you to do things exactly as she does. I've tried following about a million other tutorials over the decades, and I am AMAZED by how much I progressed in just an hour of d'Errico's instruction; my side profile still needs some work, but for the first time I feel like I have a real grip on how to get faces that are cute and actually proportional for a change. I do wish we'd gotten a little bit more of the next steps of shading and coloring, but for an intro class this is A++, I couldn't recommend it more.
