Hey Bootcampers โ๏ธ
Thank you for voting in Monday's "Choose a Modern Master" poll! We have decided to split our 4.1 lesson and study Jaime Jones, Rei 17, AND Craig Mullins ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ
We've read all of your comments and they were full of great insight. They showed us the patreon community is split between those with goals in concept art/realism, and those who lean towards a more anime-inspired style. There are princip...
Hey Bootcampers,
We're SUPER excited about next month's theme: Drawing Like the Masters. ๐ฅ

Hey Bootcampers,
It's time for another check in!!! How's everyone doing?
As artists we're often inspired by movies, tv-shows, video games, mother nature, art etc.
What is inspiring you all right now? Feel free to share below! Would love to know what everyone is up to :)

Hey Bootcampers, โ๏ธ
We're getting ready to film Class 3.1, and we need help deciding a character type! As you know, Class 3.1 is Stylized Dynamic Gesture, which is all about exaggerating movement and creating dynamic figures. You're going to be getting a little more creative this lesson and drawing a character in action.
What type of characters do you want to see me d...

Class 2.2: Quick Anatomy - Construction Rendering dropped today! Really enjoyed teaching the process on how to break down complex reference into simple structures โจ

Hey everyone!
With Class 2.2 dropping this week, just wanted to check in. We've been seeing a lot of amazing work posted!!! It makes us so happy that you guys are learning and improving!
We designed the Bootcamp lessons and assignments to be flexible to meld with your schedule. Sometimes staying on track is hard, so a good habit to build is setting an exact time and day to work on your assignments. For example: Thursdays at 1pm is Bootcamp time!
Naming my artwork has always been one the hardest things to do for me! Here's a work in progress of one of my mermaid pieces right now.
Anyone have any suggestions? I'd love to hear what you all think! :O
Hey Bootcampers!

I wanted to give a feature to someone who did a great job with the first class assignment. The first part of the bootcamp is about accuracy, practicing your hand-eye coordination and observing and analyzing.
Sarah, you did great work! When squinting (to blur and simplify the shapes), you nailed the essence of the reference, capturing the big values. I think it was a great creative choice to depart from the reference for the hair to ...
