Yep, I did it again! I bought ANOTHER drawing course!
Since I like Michael Mentler's drawings, have his Book of Bones and have studied some of his methods, I thought I'd drop the $167 on his "Michael Mentler: Figure Drawing in the Renaissance Tradition" lessons.
What appeals to me about Mentler is that his approach is time-tested. It's logical that if one wants to draw like the Old Masters that one should study their methods.
Here's what the program offers:
- How to come up with your own drawing “game plan” so you can take clear steps to achieving a finished drawing you will be proud of
- See a clear way to understanding the theory behind figure drawing
- Learn to effortlessly work with FORMS — the building blocks of your drawing
- Understanding the key to getting “in the Zone” and why THIS is *exactly* where your biggest breakthroughs will come from
- The tools and tricks Mentler uses to SUBTRACT various elements from the drawing — and the strange reason this is so helpful in your work
- The CRITICAL mistakes artists make in the beginning — and how you can avoid them and make faster progress in your drawings
- All the measurement systems you need to know to establish the correct proportions of the head, arms, torso, hips, and more
- Why using comparative measurements can make things 10 times easier on you
- The secret to drawing the head from multiple angles and how to establish the right proportions for the eye sockets, cranium, cheekbones, mouth, nose, and more
- How to use a “wireframe” to draw from multiple angles
- What you probably don’t know about the KEY differences between drawing men and women
- How to tap into your intuition, freeing yourself up to GROW and learn new and exciting things with each drawing you create
- How to use the line of gravity, balance, and rhythm to make your figure drawings more lifelike
