In this interview he talks about how he transitioned to fine art, his time studying at the prestigious Florence Academy, the differences between how Florence Academy teaches students vs a traditional university, and what he had to learn after going beyond the sight size method. This is just one of many videos of Stephen Bauman and I would encourage you to watch the other-s that I-ve listed below. I-ve also collabed with Stephen to bring you his realistic approach to drawing portraits. Check out his Masterpiece demo - Demo Description Stephen completes his portrait over 2 days working entirely from a live model and finishes with realistic rendering. This demo and lesson is a must-have for those wanting to see the entire process and workflow of a professional draftsman. We-re so excited to release this new demo series. There are 2 versions included with the purchase, a real-time and a refined cut. Learn more about the demo at

Sight size is Nicolades. Historians call it -having drawing-. It-s just basic projection.
It does take life drawing for a few years at 18-19 years. Then who cares.
Many artists can-t do it. Only a critic, historian or other artists can tell if you have it.
It-s not beauty. But it does underpin a kind of visual knowledge that can be important for creation.
I doubt the modern artists cared, Picasso being an outlier.
Classical draftsmen can heroise what is a really physical skill. That may because they still are hired for what is an art trade.
By itself not that important, especially with photography replacing its commercial value.
Notice the trend towards photo bashing replacing hand creation of forms.

Great exchange of experiences, knowledge and ideas. I love the openness and the optimistic mood, with which Stephen talks. Furthermore it's a nice diversification, to get insights to an European art school.
What I love about you interviews, Stan, is, that you keep humble and curious. And you step back, so that your guests shine in the spotlight and are able to speak without fear of getting interrupted. You are well prepared for the guests and have good questions. Kudos to you and your team. I learn a lot and feel inspired. Thank you! -

I went to an art institute and I was sad to find we only had 1 life drawing class. and it was only 1 session a week. I finished the class after 11 weeks and was left feeling like I was rushed through and didnt really learn anything. So glad that school is now closed. I am really sad now that I didn't go to the Art Center instead. Going to the right art school, makes tremendous difference.

the end was really cool. it really puts in perspective how different fine art is from like concept or other art same with music classical music is something very involved that we gave meaning to with music theory etc. but honestly its just great to experience; it doesn't need to be any more concrete. great vid

I have to stop the video quick because its funny, I went to art school thinking id be a concept artist but then I heard about -combat art- and here I am 8 years later as a military artist (about to get out though), never thought my career would go in this direction but its been fun!

I've done work for DC comics, LTV Steel, Cleveland Indians, Cleveland Browns, University Hospitals and other Corporate businesses. The only time I ever felt like an artist was when i caught tags and climbed bill boards to write graffiti.

He's very talented, beautiful works. I checked the Florence academy and there's no way I could afford it. It sucks that not everyone has the same opportunities in life, but what's life without a challenge right!

A long, meandering, rather stereotype story. The title would have been closer to reality if set to -From copying my older brother to copying even older dead artists-. It would have been less flattering as well.

2: 40 holy shit we did that too or a variation of that we drew everything top down and the scenarios just happened in our heads as we essentially update the page constantly. :o

I really like your interviews, big fan of yours. Whether subconsciously or consciously, I think knowledge has been imparted and absorbed. Watched all the way through
