While there are certain drawbacks such as the need for additional sources for clearer visuals of shading patterns and more in-depth exploration of various viewpoints, Brent Eviston's teaching style, clear definitions, step-by-step instruction, and his high-quality computer graphics compensate for these shortcomings. Enhancing your drawing skills with this course is certainly worth the investment despite its brevity.
