I'm a huge fan of Raro De Oliveira! His art style is simple yet incredibly impactful. In his Domestika course, he shared techniques that turn simple sketches into masterpieces. The sketches he used as examples are easy to do, but he taught strategies like choosing a focal point to make them stand out.
He also taught drawing techniques that let your own personality shine through. I give this course the highest rating and can't wait to take more of his courses in the future.
