"I paid for the yearly subscription last month. I am loving everything I encounter within your site so far. Even with recently starting drawing again, I think I am progressing rapidly. I admire your teaching style, your quips, gestures, and the PRICELESS tidbits of info you share while drawing... more than words mate... more than words! Your DTO site gives me a reason to look forward to each day while doing something that I love. Thank you from my heart to yours."
"I have learned so much here, my drawings are almost un recognizable. You are never too old to learn".
"I have recently become a member of your site. Your tutorials are excellent."
"I just wanted to tell you what a great thing you have here. Your comments on the critique are always positive and upbeat which goes a long way to keep struggling artists going.

"I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for EVERYTHING you do. I
have enjoyed your emails and your website for some time now and
decided its time for me to become a member. I am an amatuer at best
who has dreams of one day fulfilling my life long dream of
becoming an "artist". I am mostly self taught but find that I just
need someone's help.....and I'm finding that help in your lessons.
So thank you, thank you, thank you!"

means a serious artist but your site has helped me very much. Thanks so much for sharing your gift and great teaching skills. Keep up the great work!

I now feel that I have new tools and inspiration for improving my technique and process, hopefully making better drawings in the future. This is thanks to you and the online drawing tutorials.

How much time do you spend looking at the model versus looking down at your pad. I see a lot of students looking down at their pad almost 80% of the time. This is not life drawing, it's memory drawing. Be aware of how long you are looking down versus looking at the actual subject matter. . . .

Drawing Tip of the Week - Dana's Sketchbook Part II- April 26, 2010

Just ignore my lame video shake and look at the quality of the drawings. . . .
