He draws amazing, but he's not a good teacher for sure. All I got was nothing but boring course. He only draws and narrate what he is doing but he doesn't explain how to draw it.
I realised 90% of Udemy instructors are not able to teach and they are here to make money.

Was not very helpful in learning technique. He draws very well but he's just narrating what he's doing rather than teaching. Would not recommend for beginners or really anyone for that matter.
