Oh my Goodness, @Stan Prokopenko !!! I love you SO much in this moment!!! I've been struggling with photographing my graphite work for sooooooooo long in my teensy Japanese room - just crazy! I had the angle info, but didn't even think about polarizing lenses or sheets - and probably wouldn't ever have gotten to the idea of combining them on my own. This is so wonderfully helpful. Thank you SO MUCH!!! πββοΈπββοΈπββοΈπββοΈπββοΈπ₯°π₯°π₯°π₯°π₯°π₯°π₯°π₯°π₯°π₯°
LESSON NOTES
Youβve got more questions, and Stan and Marshall have more answers! In this episode, the two tackle questions about postgraduate training, bad advice for beginner artists, getting over anxiety about entering art school as an older artist, making prints of your artwork, moving for your career, and searching for good resources for studying perspective.

Pondering some deep art questions? Maybe Marshall and I touch on a few of them in this weekβs Draftsmen where we answer some more voicemails!

Concerning "photographing your artwork" I find this blogpost by Fantasy Artist Dan Dos Santos on "Muddy Colors" very helpfull:

Haha, you're welcome! The combination of polarizing lens and sheets is crucial.
