So, how is it?
Anyone knows if this is worth applying time? At first glance seems very organized, but I don't know if it is quality material.

Some of the videos have been re-organized but not remade so the tutorials might throw you off thinking you missed something. It's good though.

The way he explains digital workflow is pretty good, especially if you're used to traditional. he'll tell you how and why using some tools is not cheating, but merely a proper way of using digital.
As soon as he starts trying to actually draw it turns to 3/10, since the guy can barely draw from life properly and never ever even think about buying his paid courses, since the quality is sub-par.
Do the free excersise, figure out how this digital works, and then apply the same fundamentals you do in traditional, with the digital tools you've learned.

I wonder, do students pay for other materials themselves? Since I've seen them work traditionally, but it doesn't say how they get the tools. That's like an extra thousand to add to my budget.

I hope you aren't seriously falling for this dumb, unhealthy meme. Just stay where you are and save your money, all the knowledge they're going to give you is already available to you. If you are a slacker then change. No need to burn through your parents money.

Well I know they're given a tablet and laptop (with software installed) as part of tuition so surely they have some supply room with pencils, papers, markers, etc

Is dynamic sketching a meme?
It looks like a lot of courses now teach this as the foundation to learning. Scott Robertson teaches this Art Centre as the foundation course. FZD teaches this to new students. Peter Han teaches this at cgma and concept art academy.
So is dynamic sketching the way forward?
Like imagine if you put in hours into dynamic sketching and it doesn't work. You would have wasted a lot of time doing boring exercises.
There is also no historical basis for dynamic sketching. Past atelier did not do draw a thousands straight lines or thousands of boxes in perspective.

It's one of many different ways of learning art. There is no one singular correct path as we all learn it a little differently. If you're learning from it and it's working for you, great, if not there's always other options.

An article on why Cambridge Blue (R 163, G 193, B 173) is FACTUALLY AND SCIENTIFICALLY BETTER than Oxford Blue (R 0, G 33, B 71).
It has been widely known among the academic and intellectual community that various shades of colour are objectively more pleasing to the eye and phyc (KAYA, Epps). Studies have shown that green tones (such as cambridge blue) are associated with good taste (Aslam, M.M (2006)) While blue (and deep blue tones such as Oxford Blue) is often associated with depression and sadness (KAYA, Epps). These preliminary findings already show that Oxford blue is far better on a person's mental state.
Research by Dr Kaya and Dr Epps focused heavily on the emotions elicited by various colours and combinations of colours. They used a 44% male and 56% female group of university students with full colour vision, the colours were shown on a neutral grey background and each participant was asked about their emotional response to the colour shown with questions adapted from Boyatzis and Varghese (1994) and Hemphill (1996). The color green (unsurprisingly) attained the highest number of positive responses (95.9%). The majority of emotional responses for the green color indicated the feelings of relaxation and calmness, followed by happiness, comfort, peace, hope, and excitement. Green was associated with nature and trees, and thus creating feelings of comfort and soothing emotions. Green also did not gain any negative emotional responses (unlike blue which was associated with depression, loneliness and sadness). Now green's association with nature and springtime elicits positive emotions as confirmed by Nisbet (2011) means that looking at it has a positive effect on the mind. Blue on the other hand is associated with sadness (“feeling blue”) and depression, it is associated with night and the rain (while both may be calming, both have a large element and cultural association with sadness)

Not really, PS is a different medium, you won't get a traditional looking result without doing some unnecessary steps. Maybe Krita has a "proper" pencil tool, but if you want a real pencil look just draw on paper.

First read some Loomis books, study some old masters and read Color and Light by James Gurney to improve your painting skills. Keep a blog about your progress so people can see you getting better and you get some exposure from that as well.

This,>>2671928 op. You look promising, but you also look like you still got stuff to learn.

so i'm trying to really get into drawing. i've made a habit of doing sketches every day.
i'm using a ballpoint pen or a pencil and i do a lot of scribbling until i get a line the way i want. is that a bad habit? i've read somewhere that you'll become more confident and really understand drawing better if you use a fineliner instead of redoing lines over and over in sketches.
i've tried using a fineliner for a bit but honestly everything i have been drawing ever since is garbage.
what do you guys think? is the switch worth it?

You could've easily figured this one yourself.
Pencil trains you to control your values and to use more construction, fineliner trains you to have solid and confident lines without too much pressure.
You need both, switch them occasionally (+- every two months) to get the best result. You'll feel a great improvement in your line quality after using fineliner for some time.

That makes no sense. You can't make it without working hard. That's literally the first thing you learn about any skill. You get this beat over your head as a kid when the other kids outrun you and do advanced calculations in a fraction of the time it takes you.

Is mirroring an image a reliable way to check your work? Whenever I mirror an art piece I'm working on and see the newly flipped image I feel weirded out. I don't know if that feeling comes from because I'm seeing my piece in a new direction or if there really is something wrong with it.

It's just because you're used to seeing it one way, and you're very subconsciously attuned to the minute details.
It's the same reason people sometimes feel creeped out when they see themselves in photos. You spend your entire life only really seeing yourself in a mirror, so when you see yourself un-reflected it seems subtly "off". Same with hearing your voice recorded. It only really sounds weird to you because you're used to hearing it coming out of your own head.
In short, it doesn't necessarily mean you did something wrong when it looks weird to you mirrored, it's just your subconscious familiarity with it the other way that weirds you out. But also, by that logic, it potentially make it easier to find a glaring flaw that you just got so used to seeing.
It won't replace a real critique of course.
>>
It's one thing that helps a lot. Humans get used to seeing what they look at and start to overlook things. Presenting it from a new perspective knocks the brain out of it's comfort zone and lets you see some of the errors more clearly.
So it's a combination of both; you are probably picking up on some flaws that you couldn't see before, but even if there aren't any flaws you would probably experience a slight feeling of wrongness seeing something familiar suddenly changed.
>>
I always wondered if something was geniunely wrong with my art or if it was just my brain not accepting it for being reversed.

Because we should not have to make new threads or post in draw threads with our fundamental exercises.
Feel free to post even the smallest exercise you have done to show you are still trying, do not give up, make your mom proud.
AVOID asking unrelated questions, there is a question thread for that.
RESIZE YOUR IMAGES TO ~1000 PIXELS:
#1)
>screenshot the image and post that instead (also images shouldn't come out accidentally sideways with this method)
#2)
>change camera capture settings to something smaller
#3)
>send to computer and resize in MSPaint

There's a new sticky in town! You can see it at:

>Thread study: Try to draw/paint the opening or any other following images.
Feel free to post your original works as well if you're trash.
TRY TO BE MORE ACTIVE AND GIVE PEOPLE SOME FEEDBACK - many studies are left unreplied, which is a bit sad and can be quite demotivating for the people that try their best to improve, but are left directionless.
