The Basic Technique videos are free of fluff, deliberately short and concise, and packed full of advice.

The DRAW WITH MIKE videos are linked to the courses, and the weekly PDF workbooks are yours to keep as a handy reference - that's 62 pages for the Beginners course alone.
Here are a few samples of the kind of feedback you can expect from Mike when you upload your completed assignments. The images are from real critiques taken from previous course sessions:
Step-by-Step

Mike uses the same approach in his videos, international workshops and online courses - always explaining the WHY as well as the HOW. As Mike says "Learning a technique is useful, but knowing when to use it and why means you can use it with confidence and understanding."
Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced

All DRAW WITH MIKE videos are available at Drawspace, so you can integrate them into a course. Or you can purchase them here and build up a readily accessible reference source.
Mike hosts regular sessions at Drawspace.com of the 8-week Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced courses, and a 6-week Traditional Shading course. All courses use the Drawspace virtual classrooms where you can interact with Mike and your fellow artists.

Your videos are excellent, and I mean excellent. Most good books I read three times, first a quick overview to see what's there, next to get the meat and finally to get what I missed (there is always something) and integrate it with other sources. Your videos are like a good book.
