Letha_Anderson Aug.27th 2011: I just did the basic shape exercise and it was hard for me. I'm trying to believe I'll eventually get to the point of adding fur and stuff and making a dog look kind of life like.; Add your reply

Gilbrilthor May.31st 2011: I think the idea for this lesson is learning to pull shapes from a picture and draw on that. If you want to learn how to do the hair, look at the advanced tutorial "Isaac" in diverse animals.; Add your reply

Jan Myrz Mar.30th 2011: I have a hard time sketching the shapes and drawing with them. They distract me and confuse me. I do better with barely anything there. Is that something that will also go away with more practice?; Add your reply
