Drawing courses?

I've tried some of Aaron's stuff before and I definitely prefer his teaching style over most others. I think he does a good job of explaining why we construct things the way we do, so I do recommend learning from him.

Here's a torrent of his anatomy course, if you're against pirating just download it as a test to help you decide whether it's worth an investment or not. I just downloaded some of the files to make sure it's working and clean.

Thanks, eventually I got the yearly subscription and I'm looking at his stuff on character design. I would have liked more advanced lessons on average but seeing him work made me fix a few things already.
Also he draws animals a lot and I was looking for that as well.

Ooh, I bet you like the Blacksad series! Superb character and scene drawings, compelling stories...how the hell can two Europeans evoke the character of 1950s America so well?

What's the difference between an academical approach and a constructive approach?

Not sure if I worded that properly but I meant copying directly what you see (either sight size or with comparative measurements) as opposed to the approach of Bridgman or Vilppu who break down the figure in 3d blocks

Yeah Guarnido makes amazing environments.

I'm trying to study these two things for comics, animation and character work to actually pull off the acting, and environment design for background work.

The only thing for which I can't find a valuable resource is writing, which is giving me a lot of headaches

Aaron Blaise is a good step into learning anatomy. He doesn't go too much into depth, but reference via online or from books tend to help.

Most anatomy books will just assume you know features and jump straight into the construction, while Aaron actually teaches you the features. He's a good guy.

I'm in the same boat. Aaron Blaise like everyone here is saying, is good. How old are you anyway?

I eventually backed off Aaron Blaise's course in favor of New Masters Academy. I LOVE how Aaron draws, with all my heart, but I found the course too digital and too basic even if it was really well done.

For someone who works digitally and needs to learn human anatomy and such, it's absolutely fantastic and I love the practical approach he has. Also he's absolutely the best I've ever seen at drawing animals.

I'm a traditional artist, so NMA is more in line with what I was looking for. I'm really liking the old masters analysis on composition by Vilppu and the lectures on color, too bad it's mostly oils.

It's been a real eye opener so far. It's a shame there's so little material on gouache / watercolor but it's great nonetheless. For now I'm doing one month and I really recommend it if you're a traditional artist, especially oil. There's a fuckton of material on oil painting and the teacher is really good.

If you're a digital painter who's starting out or still somewhat fresh, Aaron Blaise is better.

>poor as fuck
>wants to spend the little money he has on something he can download in 5 minutes for free

kek anon why are you this retarded? your competition doesn't care about muh morals and neither should you.

Not him, but you tend to focus on getting the full content's worth if you purchased it with your own money.

If I were this practical I wouldn't try to be an artist, of all things. And I dunno, what goes around comes around.

I get ya. Im doing his course because my anatomy needs a lot of work.

Anyone got a download for his animal drawing course ? I had to pirate the anatomy one.

Aaron stuff works even for traditional artists. What the hell are you even talking about? Just because he's drawing on a digital pad, doesn't imply that his teachings ONLY work on digital.

No need to feel threatened, I'm not dissing on digital art. But I'd rather have someone teach me in the same medium I use (watercolor) because certain problems need to be faced in a certain way depending on the medium. A digital artist's work flow might be completely useless to me because apart from the general ideas I simply can't use blending modes or cloning or layers, but I can pick up an oil painter's techniques.
