Review
I completed this course at the same time I read the book You Can Draw in 30 Days. Prior to DiMaria's course, and the aforementioned book, I had taken no art classes since high school. I did not excel at art in high school.
I now feel comfortable with a pencil in my hand and the ability to create recognizable figures.
I enjoyed the instructor and his teaching style. If you can draw a stick figure you can succeed in this course. You'll be amazed at what you can create by the end.
Structure
There are 15 lessons ranging between 2 and 17 minutes. The average lesson is only 7 minutes long. The instructor gets right to the point. He tells you exactly what you need to know to obtain success in drawing figures.
You learn foreshortening, line, shadow, drapery, detail, shape, edge, and value.
Donelli DiMaria uses numerous examples and demonstrations to explain the Reilly method.
