What's in Premium?

In this lesson, I open up my archives to show you the reality of becoming a professional artist. We look at work ranging from my childhood attempts at oil painting to my portfolio pieces for CalArts and Pixar. You will see the direct evolution of my skills, starting with rigid academic studies and cross-hatching, moving into structural figure drawing, and finally arriving at stylized tonal gestures.

I break down the specific exercises that helped me improve, such as long-pose life drawing and experimenting with negative space in watercolor. You get to see the mistakes I made and how my teachers corrected them. This lesson proves that expertise comes from trusting the process, archiving your work, and constantly pushing out of your comfort zone.
