His method of measuring and creating networks and grids of lines has helped me achieve a measure of speed and precision already. I dont know what classes you took but every week in figure drawing 1 hes had me drawing from casts for 2.5 hours per class. He wants you to end with realistic representations, but this isnt modern art class, were studying stuff by michaelangelo, durer, rubens, caravaggio etc as well as impressionists, and these people were trained to represent realistic anatomy and forms, regardless of the direction they took...and his method of gesture drawing has helped me build speed as well. I know alot of people who went to art school who couldnt paint an accurate portrait if they wanted to, and one thing you didnt mention is that he doesnt charge 20 grand a year like these art / design schools...If i paid that I better be able to costruct a reannaissance style mural from scratch, and I dont think schools are teaching that.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11811597529604787884noreply@blogger.com
