    I don't know, they've always seemed nice to draw with.

    There's a very nice Wayne Thiebaud that's worth stopping and looking at.

    I'd recommend Tim Urban's (of waitbutwhy fame) new book, What's Our Problem. It's a deep dive on a lot of these things in the last decade and how we ended up where we are now.

    Since it seems there are multiple Jason Lyons out there, thought it might be good to link directly to their portfolio: https://www.jason-lyon.com/

    There are a few of those discussions going on in artist's circles these days. I imagine they'll get sued for doing this, but it'll probably take a very famous artist or a hell of a…

    I'd say a whole lot has changed in drawing styles. There just happened to be a fairly accessible style of drawing that these sort of books teach which has stuck around well. It can…

    Art is a pretty broad category. Any particular sort of art you're interested in?

    Decades feels a bit long, from what I've seen/experienced. I'd say if you're dedicated you can hit a professional level in 5-7 years.

    Good luck! Art is a hell of a fun pursuit and I hope you have a good time with it. The long periods of boredom and frustration lead to those moments of bliss as you make things you…

    Art school can really suck the joy out of art. Not always, of course, but it's so sad when it does. Hope you found a way to still do art on your own!

    Just took a quick look and this one looks very good: https://www.atelierdojo.com/

    There are a lot of decent books out there and obviously a million good online resources, but I think if you're looking for a starting point, I'd suggest you look for classes at a l…

    I've found you can often mute those screens if you press one of the buttons beside the screen. Apparently it's different depending on the machine, so just mash them all I guess.

    If you want some waterproof notebooks that aren't quite as impractical as those Expedition ones (they always smeared for me too), you might try Rite in the Rain. Had a great time u…

    I'd somewhat change #1 to "starting and starting often." I see far, far too many art students fall into the trap of wasting hours finishing work when they'd be better off starting …

    I don't mean to be sassy, but did you read the article? It's addressed in there.

    Nope, not true and a gross distortion of what happened that night.

    I didn't grope anyone and I'm not sure where you've heard that, but it's 100% false.

    Thanks! I appreciate that. It sucks, but I'm glad to still be alive and still able to make stuff.

    Yep, it is. I was trying to take full ownership of what I was like and overplayed what I had done in an effort to not seem like I was downplaying it. It's dumb in hindsight but the…
