- Thank you, Mr Paul Priestley you helped so much! My art teacher recommended me to check out your channel! I love your channel! I subscribed! – TheDorkKnight
- After seeing hundreds of videos, I can confidently say that Paul’s teaching style is the best. He has unique ability to hand hold and take the novice learner along with him on to the learning journey. I was looking for a artist who is also a great teacher. Paul literally opens up the mechanics of drawing from the basics. No fluff, straight dive into to the drawing. Its like seeing the piece of the video, pause, practice what Paul says and then move to the next part. Thanks a bunch Paul for all your efforts in making these lovely tutorial videos for beginners. – Kaustubh Pujari Vlogs
