Real-time one-on-one instruction guidance and feedback are not available to you if you are struggling to learn something via a pre-recorded video.
Don’t settle for peer-level tutoring.. Josh will teach you how to zero in on the exact weakness in your drawing practice that is causing a problem. You get practical hands-on tools to make the improvements you need to make by yourself.
