Pencil Drawing Made Easy review
An online pencil drawing course of about 42 hours of HD video with lifetime access for $47, with a detailed lesson list and a 60-day refund, but a thin seller profile and a bold results pitch.
Worth it
Of the offers we read in this batch, this one tells you the most about what you get: named topics for each class, the hours of video, the file formats, the equipment list and the terms of access. The price of $47 for about 42 hours of video is reasonable if the lessons are what the page describes, and the form matches the page. The soft spots are the sales language and the seller profile. The page says the very first drawing will be gallery quality, hints at portrait commissions, claims over three million students taught, and compares the $47 with a $182 price for lessons that, by its own numbers, do not add up to the $4.85 per lesson it states. The seller is a limited company by name only, with no address. It looks like a fair buy for a beginner who keeps the 60-day refund in mind.

Pencil Drawing Made Easy at a glance
Pencil Drawing Made Easy is a video course taught by Nolan Clark, who says he has taught drawing since 2000 and later moved to New Zealand. The page describes 26 hours of HD lessons plus 16 hours of bonus classes, 42 hours in total, watched online on a computer, tablet or phone with lifetime access. It lists the content in detail: equipment and pencils, tonal values, shading, texture, negative drawing and reflections, then a portrait series on eyes, noses, mouths, ears, cheeks, chins, foreheads, necks, hair and beards. The bonuses cover clothing and knitted textures, hands, a student Q and A lesson and a realistic birds course with a seagull and an eagle. Downloadable PDF templates and reference photos come with each lesson. The order form charges $47.00 once and the page and form both give 60 days for a refund. The legal name on the footer is Paint Basket TV Ltd, with a contact form and a Facebook link.
