"Christian is a lover of the golden age of illustration. He loves painting and teaching and if you watch this tutorial you’ll be catching him at his best. There’s no way you’ll walk away from his video empty handed. You can take my word for it. I've worked with him every day for the last 10 years and I've seen him grow from a student to now a teacher."
