These are just a few of the thousands of emails from people around the world who have reached out to me in the last few years. If your letter is not included, I apologize; every letter has meant a great deal to me. Your letters of praise and thanks have been my inspiration to continue to improve and expand my tutorial library. I hope the new lessons and tutorial materials that I will add continue to live up to the standards that you have come to expect.
Thank you for the support!

"The depth of your site shows your love and respect for the art and the industry. It's because of people like you that people like me can jumpstart tomorrow's professionals."

"I must say, your website (graphics) both make me feel inspired and sick. I hope you can understand..."
"But you have answered many questions that I have long wondered about, I appreciate your candor on your site. Many illustrators often shield their construction ideas and make it hard for guys like me to figure this stuff out."
"I have LONG wondered if rendering a perspective in Illustrator would be practical, and after a few tries, actually gave it up preferring to work thru the old fashioned method..."
"After looking at the detail in your finished renderings... I just have to sit and shake my head."

I had to create several perspective illustrations; the first one (prior to learning from your site) took me about 15 minutes, and it still didn't look quite right. I found your site with a quick google search, and after I figured it out, I was able to methodically nail each drawing on the first try, without the frustration! Thank you SO MUCH!"

"I just browsed through your site and I am a big fan. As a former instructor of technical illustration and architectural rendering (even though I too was self-taught), I'm usually a nit-pick critic, but you've done some awesome work. I saw you referenced Jon Duff, when I was teaching, I used his textbook as a reference for my students."
"I've won a few international awards myself, but "sold out" a few years ago and went into business development - could have been a huge mistake and seeing your work makes me envious. Way to go"

"Mr. Hulsey, I came across your website while I was searching for technical illustration tutorials. I have to tell you that I am awestruck with your work. I can't imagine that your level of illustration is being accomplished by using Illustrator and Photoshop. I have been teaching Photoshop for over a year now at a local college and thought I had seen it all. You are incredible and have really opened a new door of interest for me. I want to learn how to do what you do. I'm accomplished in both programs and am really intimidated and excited at the same time."
"...Thanks for doing what you do!"
