While the course offers valuable techniques for perspective drawing, it falls short in terms of engagement and depth. The step-by-step tutorials became repetitive, lacking innovative approaches to urban sketching. Additionally, the hands-on exercises often felt rushed and did not provide sufficient feedback, making it challenging for beginners to fully grasp the concepts. Overall, it missed the mark on fostering creativity.
