Brent provides great drawing lessons and tips in his lectures. The reason I rated this as a 3 because the quizzes are just awful and AI generated. Several questions have ZERO to do with the lessons and have AI grading glitches. An example is a question regarding the mathematical measurement of an oval and no matter what I type in even if it's geometrically correct, it says it's incorrect let alone anything mathematical was even mentioned in any of the lessons. The quizzes highly affect the grading and make it frustrating to enjoy this course.
