I heard about Mike’s workshop during my bachelors but it wasn’t until I was in graduate school that I decided to take a 2 day course. It changed my hand sketching life. For me it was the confidence Mikes style creates. Before the workshop I had a sketchbook for over a year that had three pages of what I thought to be horrible drawings. I even took a graphic drawing class during my graduate program and it helped me little. I now see that those original three pages were the beginning of drawings that I gave up on finishing. I simply had to keep working them. No drawing looks amazing when you first start, it took Mike’s course to help me see how to get my hand to do what my mind was thinking. I probably could have continued trying on my own, but it would have taken me years to develop what I learned in just two days. I would recommend his course to anyone. You can learn something from everyone you meet, as long as your mind is open.
