Education: $100,000 Drawing Course Update
This post is just the tip of the iceberg... see reason number 8 on our The Top Ten Reasons To Support The A-HAA for links to more great art instruction posts.
Kevin Langley's Screwy Sketchblog has pictures of how he printed out and bound the instructional texts we've posted.
It's been about nine months since we started the $100,000 Cartoon Drawing Course. That's long enough that you should be seeing a night and day improvement in your work.
Link to a few of your "Before and After" pictures in the comments below, and let's see how you're doing...
Thanks

Hi Folks! excuse me,dear Steve, but I want to give you interesting news for all your students and readers of the blog: In Southamerica we have organized two festivales of cartoons: ANIMA'O7 (Argentina) and FLIP! (Chile).
If somebody wants to send you artwork and/or to participate in this competition, the rules and the program are in my blog.
That's all!
Thank you very much, Steve
and greetings from the ass of the world
I still have a ways till I'm anywhere near a Blair or Scribner, but i've been copying T&J, thumper & others on a semi daily basis. A few examples on my blog.
Gee, thanks for the link Steve. More importantly thanks for posting that Nat Falk book. It's a real find.
Since you asked, HERE is a post I did back in October looking at some "before & after" drawings I did of Popeye.
Not that I think I'm "all that" mind you! But thanks to the drawing course there has been improvement and for that I'm grateful!
I've still got a long, long way to go, I know. But here's my Lesson One compared to my first Model Sheet assignment.
I don't know if it's night and day, but I think I'm making progress!
