Sad News About Critiques on /r/ArtFundamentals
Added 2016-09-26 16:13:03 +0000 UTCYou can read the full announcement here: https://www.reddit.com/r/ArtFundamentals/comments/54l9rj/the_future_of_free_critiques_on_rartfundamentals/
The main things to know is that I'm restructuring how critiques are handled. They're not going away, but I am taking several measures to decrease my workload.
- Free critiques will resume October 1st, and stop indefinitely after October 7th
- Paid critiques will be available to those who pledge $3 or more
- The lesson demo video recordings will still be available to all patron levels
- I want to try doing semi-regular Q/A threads, where a post is created on /r/ArtFundamentals and for the next 6-8 hours everyone is welcome to ask questions (from minor things to "how do I do this" or "why does this drawing I did look wrong" - all related to the lessons of course). After the set amount of time, the thread will be locked and a few days later I will post a video answering as many of the questions as I can, with demonstrations, explanations, etc.
- I'm still working on updating the existing lessons. This is where I want to invest the majority of my time, rather than on doing individual critiques, as this is where the work will have the greatest impact. I want to clarify my explanations wherever possible, do more demonstrations, and perhaps come up with more helpful exercises that are relevant to each lesson.

It's my pleasure!

2016-09-27 13:48:43 +0000 UTCThanks for increasing your pledge! As for your question, that really depends on what you'd be asking. I'm happy to give advice in terms of career path and goals. If it's a matter of critiquing artwork you've done however that's not related to the drawabox lessons, that wouldn't work out so well. I can give critiques for the drawabox stuff more easily because it all falls within a certain scope - critiquing individual pieces would each require a massive time investment from me, and it's also something lots of people would want to take advantage of. Pretty much just have to say no to that sort of thing right off the bat.
