I came across your videos from an article I read regarding the best online art classes. When I was in high school, art was always my favourite class. It was the only class I looked forward to in school. But I could not figure out what to do with my skills. I didn't want to be an illustrator and I didn't want to be a painter, etc, trying to sell my work. (I'm definitely -not- a salesman) Thus, I gave up on the idea and didn't even draw or paint as a hobby. It wasn't until recently that I considered 2D and 3D digital animation. FINALLY, something that is creative and I can utilise my artistic skills. I just turned 60 at the end of August and I have struggled with the idea of changing careers at this age. But I feel I must. My biggest obstacle is MYSELF. Lack of self-confidence in my ability to do it. I'm sincerely hoping that your videos will help me improve. Thank you.

I love your tutorials and lessons and really all your content, but this REALLY was nice to hear; you talking about your own struggles as an artist and how you approach them. When other artists talk, even if they don't intend to or try to avoid it, it can sometimes feel like they don't face the same challenges you do, or if they did, they surmounted them far easier and with more finesse. You discussing how you can study a part of the body for two days, then two days later forget 90% of the information is exactly what I go through. For the last year I've just been going over and over and over and over fundamentals, and each pass I ingrain a little bit more into my mind, but at times it feels SLOW going and frustrating.

I remember a gentleman at Watt's Atelier around 7 years ago (maybe the same person Stan is talking about, I think his name was Maurice. He had to be in his 70s or maybe older. He'd packed everything in his truck and drove to San Diego from Arizona to study at the Atelier. I think he was relatively new to drawing, not a complete beginner, but I think it was still his first time taking it seriously and his work was really great. Maybe he wouldn't be able to become a professional just because of the limits on time for making the right networking connections or whatever, but that didn't change the fact that his art was great, and in the end the important thing I think is that he did it for himself.

i obsessively work with bridgeman for my daily practice work I actually really enjoy doing anatomical drawings now and then its just far cry from my cartoon work and has a satisfaction all of its own. though google images can get a bit grim when you look em up at times. I draw a hybrid cartoon style and the work is still boosted a ton by learning all of the traditional work as much as possible. (it helps that my art inspirations were very very good at high art and traditional art aside from their comics and cartoon work)

I think time does not matter but it is important to enjoy drawing for no money. The hard thing about age is that you have other things to worry about and finding the right school or teacher is more of a concern because of the time. Some people realize they love to draw late in their life. It is just a thing of getting up and doing it but with other things in your mind it can be more challenging. Am going through that now. I wish I had the interest I have to draw now t now 10 years ago.

I'm 24, never really studied art in my life other than the one art class I had to take in college
I grew to love visual entertainment such as manga, anime, movie, etc, and I really want to become good at drawing/painting.
Near professional level if possible, not because I want to be a professional artist, but for my own satisfaction.
I've made enough excuses already and I'm starting today, now.

No word of a lie. After 3 years of attending the gym I have a very keen eye for how muscles should look and the details. It's actually amazing for learning anatomy. If you're a really invested gym rat you pick it up quick. Obviously this training is better, I'm just saying going to the gym is like a really nice extra and unforeseen helpful exercise for this in itself.

Last 2018 I started drawing due to my female friends usually draw cartoons and stuff, I draw arts and stuff by reference and simple shapes but never learn anatomy and more details on art until this year specially I love to draw marvel and anime characters so what I need is to learn smart and find the affective techniques just like here and other artists too

How old is too old is a question I make myself every time, because I'm 27 and getting older and older. You may say -well, someone in his eighties could- and I'll answer -I don't care about him or her, I care about me-. How can I answer that question for myself? What signs should I take into account to answer that question?
