I wanna say that I really enjoyed the brief conversation on imagination drawing because for myself I'm learning to be more patient in creating something that is new. I too had the thought process of -I need to just get this thing is the FIRST GO and be done with it, and it will be great, because I know how to draw- And it never works like that. I took the mindset of -I need speed, I need to be able to just draw and paint fast and accurate so I can get to the next thing, just keep making things, some day I'll get that recognition. - That way of thinking only make me draw sloppy or give up on ideas because I deemed them too difficult to pursue. Inktober has that effect of -Just get it done, doesn't have to look fantastic. - Because you are trying to build a habit of daily drawing, which is fantastic. In November I'm taking that daily drawing that I have learned that I love and put it toward a slow burn in a piece. I have a vision for this piece and I have drawn it over and over this one month, working out thumbnails, working out the values. doing color comps, SLOWING DOWN AND THINKING IT THROUGH. And I realized -Damn I can draw from my imagination- because it is just building on the piece AS YOU ARE WORKING ON IT. I literally 2 days ago found reference for this piece that I was SO SURE I was -Done- with, I was ready to go into the final painting of it but these new bits of info made me say -Wait, that would really work in what I'm making-. And now my piece has taken a BETTER direction than my initial -romanticized- vision of the first pass. I now want to take my time with every painting I do, explore it's true potential, as oppose to just -Posting for the Gram- to keep up with the art Jones for no reason. My new mindset is -I'll post it when it's done, and no sooner-. Thank you guys for the great content =.

Stan n Marshall you guys have become the biggest influencers of my life. You guys are life savers. I love the way you put your thoughts in words. I remember the time when I graduated from art school with a degree in textile design n just after three months I realized that this is not at all what I wanted to do in life. From my childhood i just wanted to draw well. So when i finally took the hard step of quitting everything n start learning painting life went worst than bad. I remember how I knocked every do of every painter in the city to beg them teach me how they paint but none of them actually did other than I was just another visitor for them to chat for hours. Boy you guys taught me everything I wanted to know and every week I wait n learn from you guys. I pity those who don't understand English in my country and cant learn from you guys. Great job
Stay blessed

Wonder-Con has a similar concentration of fans to artists as Comic Con--and the cosplayers really dominate. I cosplay, too, but I'm more invested in creating than consuming media. Artist alley and chatting with artists is my favorite part of the convention, followed by panels. I'd love to talk with fellow hobbyist artists but they are hard to find there!

I sometimes feel like Proko's full of -network, surround yourself with people who do great work, don't be afraid to get feedback, get involved, study and work hard- and when the time comes and you get to gather up the courage to ask him a question other than a call on this podcast, he's like -what did you just say to me, you little shit? -

Marshall-s patience is rare gift. The guy in the voicemail mail should know the things he-s asking considering his age and when he was talking I was annoyed but Marshall manages to give a good answer and promote his site and other things while he was at it. That-s why many of us were waiting for a podcast with him in it.

I would get really nervous around professionals/artistic celebrities and feel that to ask advice or just talk with them that there would be an expectation to purchase something from them. That could turn into a very expensive day! What are people's thoughts and opinions on this?

Marshall is a treasure and I envy every single student that gets to speak to this man. Some of his sentences feel so thought out and methodical. Thank you for putting Marshall infront of a camera. Somewhere he might not have found himself if it weren't for this podcast.

As an artist from Russia, I've gotten a fair share of similarly puzzling comments from the local community. The worlds that people can live in such a vast country can be so drastically different that when they intersect, you just go, like. whaa? Really, dude.

I went to a convention in the UK called the boat show, and my biggest disaster was going there, because I only like looking at the big motor yachts, and my dad flipping looooooves sailing boats. Bored out of my skull, if I ever go again, I'll just draw people

For some reason, this was one of my most enjoyable podcasts so far but I've never been to a convention except as a makeup artist at a hair and beauty convention but it was amazing the similarities which I feel boils down to observation and socialization.
