Now that Materials Course lessons 1-3 have been released, what did you think about it? What did you find most useful? Is there anything about the setup of the lessons you liked or didn't like?
For future lessons I'd like to include more things that were good and cut things that weren't as successful.

I absolutely love the digestible content and then the homework "pause". Great assignments so far (have gotten to the bounce light lesson) and really appreciate the focus on learning and then practice throughout the lessons. Thank you for the great content!

I think these were great lessons, concise and moved along briskly. These are important subjects to make sure an artist has in place before moving onto more advanced concepts. In these lessons two things jumped out at me. A tiny one is in exercise 01 A, the text says 10 minutes to complete and the video says 15 (I wrote and edited technical papers for a long time, I can’t ignore non-matching numbers). Another was the skipping over perspective. While I understand what a time sink even covering 1 to 3, you touched on most other fundamentals and said to look for good lessons elsewhere. If you have some in mind, I think less experienced artists could use some pointers to a YouTube channel or specific videos that you think tackled it well. With that addition you would be providing a solid basis. Maybe mention your color theory videos to complete the package – this is a case where the self-promotion wouldn’t be at all offensive. Doing pre-algebra is usually a good idea before starting full algebra. And that’s what I consider these three courses to be. Necessary to cover, and you did them well. But I was expecting an algebra class with these. I thought they would be more advanced, and cover more specific rendering concepts, techniques, materials, and approaches. So while I appreciate these classes I was a little disappointed in the content. Perhaps I misunderstood your plans for the development of the full course and my expectations were incorrect, so it could have just been me.
