Hi Glenn! This is Chris Darroca, I hope this email finds you doing well. I just wanted to drop you a line to give you an update and a "thank you" as one of your former students. I have been living in the Bay area now for the past seven years working in the entertainment industry as an artist and have recently been asked to teach a few life drawing classes at Industrial Light and Magic. I model my class after your classes that I took at the Animation Union years ago. I only hope that my students get a fraction of what you gave to me in your teaching. I refer all students to your website, online classes, drawing manual videos, etc. As the years have gone by in this industry, it seems that anything positive that has happened in my career can be directly attributed to a solid foundation in figure drawing that was taught to me by the best life drawing teacher on the planet. So I just wanted to let you know that yet another one of your students is now teaching, I am sure that you have quite a list now! Thanks for everything, Chris Darroca
