Hi Mike, thank you very much for all the knowledge, tips and tricks you share. It is my objective to inspire people to get in touch and find their full potential, and live their dreams. I am a real life coach andrealize that by connecting people through food and food workshops . Part of that is with art and a story board. Your webinar and all the other tips on the site, has inspired and helpend me so much toward my personal style of art. Thanks for that. Grtz from the Netherlands
Thanks for your welcome Mike! I am looking forward to learning a lot from you and the Be Loose web site. I want to attend one of your workshops sometime in the near future.
I'm registered to attend your 9 day Vegas workshop. Just wondering how I can find out whether the registration actually went through. Registered online 10 days ago but haven't received any type of confirmation message.
Thanks for so many priceless gifts you throw into the workshop.
Eternally grateful here in Scottsdale, Az.
The best of all to you in your wonderful family.
Wow, wow, WOW---The 9 day workshop was simply AMAZING!!! My official thank you note is taking a while to craft as there are so many things to be thankful for. I learned so much; was blown away by your (and Brian's) teaching; and had a wonderful time in the process. All I want to do now is draw...!
I traveled to Las Vegas with very high expectations for the workshop. I am thrilled to say that the workshop EXCEEDED those expectations. Thank you so much for all your expertise, time and energy, and passion for drawing/designing/teaching.
Dear Mike,
Thank you for everything! Teaching us well and sharing all that knowledge and tricks on how to render well. Next time my daughter will be attending your workshop. She was excited about my drawings the before and after. I told her by next summer or the following one for sure. I also learned a lot from Brian. It was great meeting your wife also. She is a terrific lady!
Take care, will keep in touch.

I'm an 18-year-old from India who LOVES to sketch and design and wants to improve.
I can't wait to start learning as I don't any mentors here to guide me in the proper way. ( Or anyone to encourage me except my family ) There aren't much book available here ...So internet is my whole world to learn :) Thank you soooooo much ! AFTER WATCHING ALL YOUR ART VIDEOS ..I'M HUNGRY TO LEARN MORE AND MORE :D
I do plan to check out the amazing tips you provide. They have been very helpful thus far. It was Wade Gains who was mentoring us on color rendering at the Saddleback College Portfolio workshop. He was extremely helpful and introduced us about you, your workshop and website.
For the first time, I am teaching a class in a small junior college using your book! I am very excited about doing it, (and nervous, too). I would like to ask your advice. I have a few students who are significantly "feedback resistant". The resistance comes in the form of relentless interruption, (exhausting), and them telling me why they don't need to make the changes I am suggesting. I strive to practice giving feedback clearly, with sensitivity, and always identify the strengths of the drawing in my feedback. What do you say to students who are resistant to what you say? Thank you very much!
P.S. Are their any workshops before July? July seems so far away!
thanks for the site plan tutorial - I learned some useful tips. Are there any more like that available?
I would really like to attend your graphic workshop in July but I feel it is a bit far away for me at the moment as I reside in the UK. When and where do you expect the next workshop to be located at? I will be looking to attend the next one.
I'm in the process of completing my pen set to include your colors. I hope that I can recreate the colors with my Prismacolors. I'm a bit stubborn, luckily I have pencils that will work as well, or even better. :)
I thought that your methodology was very clear, logical and a natural progression from the mechanical progression from which I learned how to construct perspectives at Cal Poly. I think the most important thing that you reminded me was not to fear screwing up the drawing! Thank you.
I hope to see you again, please let me know if you would like any tips when you travel to Dubai.
Thanks again Mike . Your thoughts are well apprecited...I often think about the work shop and how it has changed my life. We recently relocated to Roslyn Heights New York and have spent the last year renovating our new ,old home it's coming along. I find myself running out of time or money. I am confident that in the near future we can take a break from the mess and enjoy the kids a little bit more before they grow up. Mateo is now 13,Jonluca is now 7, Rocco will be 5 tomorrow, and this week we will be celebrating 15 years of marriage what a crazy ride its been. Wish you all the best. "We're not in Kansas anymore"
Can you give me an idea of the date of the summer workshop in Vegas 2017. I am trying to make plans and use a voucher that I have. Truly excited for it but need to get it on the calendar.
Dear Mike and Brian , Thank you for your wishes for my birthday Ovt 14th. I am still waiting you to a visit to Athens -Greece and .waiting also to receive ..the book of Mike about drawing ,just to remind me the old good days in Madison as LA students with the friend Darrel Morrison as our ...Professor!!!My address is : Prof. Costas Cassios 9 Kelli str.

I'd like too Mike! I've been in Rio just once and I did not know the Christ Redeemer and I've been in another neighborhood.
I have recommended your website to my students here in Brazil. I enjoyed the drawing tips, especially the good attitudes toward drawings.
I realized that this is a site with good content and wich is shared in a very loving way.
Best regards
