Ota Clinic Episode 12

A talk about how exactly to go about your organizing your approach to drawing an illustration.

I'll talk more about this in the future because there's a lot to cover.

Ota Clinic Episode 11

A de facto continuation of the previous episode with a general talk about debugging illustrations and how to go about it. 

Ota Clinic Episode 10

A very important talk about exactly what to look for out of doing original illustrations before you're at a general intermediate level.

Ended up having the background music a little too loud and turned it down a minute in, but it'll be just right on next one.

Ota Clinic Episode 9

Follow up talk to last episode, this one focused on the pre-intermediate stage.

I actually recorded it the same day.

Ota Clinic frequency

It was brought to my attention that it might make more sense to make Ota Clinic vids every other day and make them slightly longer, rather than the current (almost) daily system.

This might give people more time to digest them and catch up with them and get a little extra info in them.
Vote if you feel strongly one way or another.

Ota Clinic Episode 8

Crucial advice for intermediate or early advanced level learners to make the process as consistent and painless as possible.

Ota Clinic Episode 7

A follow up talk to the previous 2 episodes, giving a rough introduction to how shape and gesture connect.

Ota Clinic Episode 6

Have to catch up on anki and some other unstreamable stuff so prolly will not get to any streaming today, but back big with all dayer stream tomorrow.

Ota Clinic Episode 5

A fundamental talk about gesture, addressing the most common pitfalls and misconceptions.

Ota Clinic Episode 4

Ota Clinic Episode 2

Discussing how to think about and organize your practice for maximum efficiency and stress reduction.

Ota Clinic Episode 1

First Ota Clinic. Enjoy some ghetto mic quality this time because I had my settings messed up and it recorded off the webcam built-in. 

For sharing esoteric technique and Khatzumoto-esque mindset information.

You can post any questions in comments here, and I will answer them in the next Ota Clinic.

2022 Art Grind Vids

These are the summary videos I recorded during part of my 2022 art grind. I didn't have nearly as much skill and knowledge as I do now, but these were some of the key watershed days for me with some of the most important pieces of info I ever acquired. This is potentially seriously helpful for intermediates and even beginners could get a lot out of it.
