Paint Figures Better
Do you struggle to paint figures? Me too. I've just launched a Kickstarter for my new book, Paint Figures Better, which contains the most important lessons, tools, and actions to help you overcome your barriers and finally learn to paint figures better. They worked for me and I bet they'll work for you. _This book isn't going to teach you how to draw or paint figures._ It isn't a series of tutorials, anatomy diagrams, or paint by numbers. Instead, it's a collection of 55 tips that will help you learn faster and more effectively. Some of these are fairly common sense. Others are a lot less common. And a few go directly opposite to how most people study figures. The book is over 200 pages and is packed with art that I made to learn figure painting and is there to help guide or inspire you in your studies. The writing is done and the design work is nearly complete. I'm on Kickstarter seeking funding because printing hundreds (or thousands) of books ain't cheap. I had originally
I did a review on the Huion Kamvas Pro 24 (4k)
Check out the video above for more, but basically: it's a freaking great tablet and I like it way better than the Wacom Cintiq. It's also waaaay cheaper, which is nice.

Become a Better Artist in #21Days
I originally shared this article a few years back and I know it helped a lot of people jumpstart a study habit, so I thought I'd refresh it (and post it somewhere other than stupid locked-down Medium): https://Reference.Pictures/Become-a-Better-Artist-in-21-Days

I am way late, but thanks for a great podcast! I JUST got around to listening to it! As it happens, this past week the whole "Don't go to art school" thing has been churning in my head. Someone posted your piece on that topic to their Facebook wall last week and a bunch of us artists an animators had a very lively discussion about it!
It was really good to hear that kind of thinking discussed between you and Chris Oatley! Having been to art school and now working professionally I am also very convinced that the system is broken. But I also feel for students, especially just coming out of high school, who just don't know where to go and how to get started.
My own little pipe dream is that there'd be some sort of program that could connect prospective students with an industry pro, a sort of art guidance counselor. They could be shown some of the online opportunities, guided to wisely choosing local art classes, and just generally encouraged and guided along the way.
I love that this topic is being discussed these days! It is pretty near and dear to my heart. Keep up the discussion!
Oh and your art is amaaaaaazing! I'm glad I found you through the podcast! Will stalk you now!
