I’m going to analyze his methods, his techniques, and his process… I’m going to figure out HOW he draws. If you’re interested in drawing like Kim Jung Gi, this interview is for you.

Karl is back and this time he does a full sketch demo from his imagination. You’ll see him develop a vampire hunter character while he talks about his own personal struggles developing as an artist, his thought process for discovering a drawing and what his goals are for the future. This was originally an hour and a half demo that we squeezed down as much we could while keeping all the best stuff.

The final episode to Asking Pros 2019 is here! These pro artists give their recommendations for instructional art books that they find useful and talk about the reasons you should consider adding their favorites to your library. You might already be familiar with some of these titles if you’ve been listening to the Draftsmen podcast, but there’s a lot of new material you should also check out.

It’s the beginning of the end… end of season 1 that is! Before going into hibernation Marshall and I sit down and go through youtube comments from the past 26 episodes of Draftsmen. You’ll hear us respond to the relevant discussions that artists posted under each episode.
