School: A Comment

I occasionally search blogs for new students starting the $100,000 Cartoon Drawing Course and to check out the progress students are making. Today, I ran across this post...

John K is a great teacher with charisma dripping from every word in his blog. This charisma is great for inspiration. He speaks of how great the old "golden age" of animation was, and of the decline in artistic skill in the animation trade today.

Get to work!
