HEAD DRAWING AUDIT CLASS LECTURES

Instructor: Kirk Shinmoto

COST: $350

10+ Videos. Lectures range from 1.5 - 2 hours in length.

This is a 10-video series that directly mirrors the same lectures from my live classes. They follow the same topics covered over a 10 week course and include demos and assignments in addition to the weekly lectures. Additional handouts will also be included along with each week’s lecture as well as highlights from student critiques. (note: These videos do not include the full in-class homework critique recordings from the live classes).

Purchasing this class will give you indefinite access to pre-recorded, streamed lectures via Gumroad.
