"This course is an excellent hands-on detailed walk through the process of drawing the human figure based on a systematic structure of anatomical study, and a solid foundation for serious figure drawing."
"For the first time in my life I'm able to draw a decent realistic human figure from my imagination without looking at any sort of reference. I feel so liberated."
"I have taken anatomy classes at an art school... Both the art classes I took and anatomy books have not come close to all the information you provide. I noticed that my drawing skills have increased so rapidly in such a short amount of time."
"The training included is nothing short of remarkable. I am not even halfway through this comprehensive series... and I would urge anyone with the slightest interest in fine art to invest in this training without hesitation."
"I am further amazed at the COST of these lessons - so much information at such an incredibly good price. THIS was a value beyond its price and will serve me well for what years I've got left."
"Your artistic talent coupled with the methodical break down of the figure was brilliant. and the fact that your spirit shined through so pure and beautiful really made me look forward to the next lesson."
"I thought I would never be able to draw anything but crude doodles and now I am starting to increase my skills. The price for these lessons are so well worth it. Affordable plus highly instructive."
"I have been trying for years to understand the principals behind sketching... The concepts you present in your videos and the method you approach on how to learn are absolutely astounding."
"I am only on Lesson 64 and a drawing that would have taken me hours to 'get right' I can 'rattle off' in just minutes. I can't wait to get through the rest. I am losing sleep; I am so excited."
"Im currently on the structure of the human head and let me say this course collection is priceless to me... its like having a personal tutor in your home."
"The lessons start off very basic, but compliment one another nicely while flowing seamlessly together. I have seen a tremendous difference in the speed, quality and proportion of my human Anatomy Drawings."
"I'm speechless, Im amazed of how fast and good Ive become in drawing in such a short period of time... I feel like ive been born into this new and fantastic world where I have very little trouble of placing my thoughts onto paper."
"This course set, has likely been one of the best investments I have made in a long time... I applaud his skill as an artist and a teacher."
"Your method makes it possible for me to learn and conquer this realm of knowledge in a realistic time span. My dream is to be able to design fantasy game characters. This course helps me to reach that goal."
"I have spent hundreds on 'how-to' books... However, the money I spent buying your set of courses has proven priceless. I learned more useable knowledge in the first 7 lessons than all the other books combined."
"In these lessons, You don't just learn where the muscles are, You learn how to shade your drawing, You learn how to have a good line and You learn an artistic way to think."
"I have instructional videos by Glenn Vilppu but I have to say your stuff replaces everything that I own, honestly! And I'm not exagerating. Your methods of visualizing and explaining the concepts are so easy to follow."
"Before The Big Art Course... my figures looked flat, disproportionate and often very skewed. After I had purchased these lessons, I learned much more than what I could learn in a book."
"I have always been drawing and this has led to a job interview at a video game company... If I get the job (and I think I might) it will likely be because of what you taught me."
"It proposes fresh ideas, detailed step by step that won't let down anyone taking the challenge. Don't hesitate to try this fascinating experience, you have nothing to lose and everything to win!"
"Personally, I've struggled for years unsuccessfully to attain a modest level of competency in drawing the human figure... Working through these videos has allowed me to make huge strides in my ability to visualize the body in three dimensions."
"This guy can draw! This guy knows his anatomy! This guy is a great inspiration... I has helped me and my drawing already and I have only watched a couple of the lessons."
"In the past I had spent a few hundred of our British pounds, looking for the ultimate art book... As a self-taught artist, Riven's tutorials are a god-send. To date I haven't found a resource quite like it."
"Thank you for teaching me how to draw the skeleton from mind, i have never been able to even draw the Humerus, nevermind everything. I am currently on lesson 65."
"I'm currently a student of seneca@york's animation program... Your videos help me out a big time, the amount of detail that you teach within the courses are simply gold, it is much more effective than learning from books."

"This is the greatest strength of the method that Riven teaches, in that he shows the formulas behind the human figure, not just the final solution... Anyone who has any interest in drawing owes it to themselves to get these courses."
"It was like having my own personal figure drawing tutor! So I didn't hesitate to order the full set of your courses. I've only just begun working through the lessons but already they have been an enormous help."
"Being a Nursing student, I have had to take classes in Anatomy and Physiology... But after learning anatomy by drawing it so much in this way, it is now completely second nature, and all of the long names I had to learn now automatically associate with ease."
"I am on lesson 68 and I can't believe how much better I can see. Your courses got so much junk out of my mind. I feel empty and full at the same time."
"I learned at a very rapid pace and I can now grasp the proportions of the human figure. Your drawings are amazing. You are a very fine artist as well as a great and patient teacher."

"Because of your lessons, I have an understanding of the human figure that I've never had before, and I can finally draw the figure with confidence, which means I can reach new heights in art now."
"I already finished whole 189 lessons and currently I'm on gesture drawing. Progress is truly amazing, I had no idea that I'm able to improve my drawing skills so much! It's just incredible."
"I have been using it for about 2 weeks now, and I have never been more clear on human anatomy. All of the books that I have on the subject all make sense now... It is by far the best artistic investment I have ever made."
"Since I started The Big Art Course... my Anatomy Drawing has taken a quantum leap forward. I am an animation student and the lessons have helped me a great deal."
"From what I've seen so far, I expect it will keep me occupied for weeks, months, and years to come before I absorb all of it and am able to apply it. Thank you very much for your extraordinary, in-depth instruction."
"I really want you to know that what you did is really helpfull for all the artist community, and if you release another course set i'll don't hesitate to buy it."
