Possibly! That's what we mean by the end of this post.

Some people may have courses that can't be transferred for one reason or another, but for anyone that would benefit from being with us, we'd love to work with them or otherwise help them find a home for their classes.

We're with you there. We're hoping those that are having to deal with this find a home that will treat them better.

I've heard horror stories about Domestika over the years, but didn't say anything because I don't want people to think I'm just bashing a competitor.

Instructors need to be treated well it's clear Domestika didn't do that. If anyone affected is looking for a home for their courses, reach out.

Why does your shading feel BAD? 😭 It can be caused by a few different things but one common mistake is not using the overall forms small planes changes to inform shading smaller details πŸ‘‡

You usually put the most detail in the focus areas. Low-detail areas act like the out-of-focus parts in a photo.

In this piece, the face was more important than the hair, so the hair was pushed back using value and less finish.

Start with the big shapes, then move to smaller details. Block in your shadow shapes and get the proportions right before adding the tiny, specific stuff.

That helps you avoid bad proportions and wasting time on areas that don’t really matter.

What details matter most in a drawing?

Do you actually need to draw every muscle or every hair from the reference?
