This class is quite advanced for a beginner-level drawing course. With prior drawing experience this class is not overly difficult, but the homework and projects do demand a time commitment if you want to complete them well. For those with no prior drawing experience, this would be a difficult class - assignments very quickly ramp up from introductory material to fairly advanced techniques and expectations. That being said, Este was very accommodating to students' needs and requests for extra time on assignments. Do not let the work pile up.

This is NOT an introductory level course. This is a course designed for studio art majors or similar levels. I came into the course expecting to learn the basics such as how to hold a pencil, yet, week three we were doing a photorealistic self portrait. I think Estefania is a fantastic high level professor, however, it is not for a non-studio art major.

I have always really been into art and as someone who has mostly stayed within the same style of art but this class definitely forced me to try new modes. Each week or so we would focus on a new technique from drawing to pastels to water color and this really allowed me to expand my knowledge of art.
