Un curso muy recomendable para los amantes de la arquitectura y del dibujo. El profesor tiene una experiencia interesante e inspiradora.
Luke is a nice instructor, i've been struglin with 2 and 3 point perspective drawing since my 12 Years old and now i can easilly understand it and even teach it to some friend. That is a nice course and very intuitive. Congrats for the good job.
A good course that has given perspectives on observing and drawing.
