'Due to his high standard of work and presentation skills, not only has he shown with the studios at prestigious venues such as Leighton House Museum, he was also instrumental in the set-up and design of the exhibition. His artwork was chosen for the cover of the exhibition catalogue. '

'Each lesson is packed with useful information meant to improve your ability to draw and paint, and,
I have to say, I found it all to be very beneficial. I have always been someone who liked to draw, but never felt that I was very good.'

'Slickly plotted, and drawn with bags of character. Plus hats off to the creative team for using the electronic/pdf format to try some interesting story-telling techniques. They have brought a cinematic feel to the story and I can see them developing these techniques as the series continues. Definitely one to watch!'
