    Not of much practical importance. Just to thank you for opening a whole new world for me, that of drawing, at the ripe age of 52.

    I was today years old when I discovered your seven-year-old video! This video is so validating and so exciting because all of these OCD things I have been doing you are mentioning in this video. I’ve been building a massive library. I have been time blocking developing certain aspects of drawing on my own outside of my classes. I took Art for a few years decades ago in high school before I got distracted by foreign language and then I spent about 20 or 30 years in historical reenactment, which gave me a really great foundation in art history and learning about techniques and processes in the various fields of art. I got a job at my local university so that I could go to school part time as part of the benefit but because I have my historic reenactment background, I am kind of hardwired to be more methodical and dig deeper and Leverage the basic techniques. I’m learning in classes to expand my skills even further. I saw a video that is more recent. That was a tour of your studio and I have been following Proko Art for a while and was excited that he was one of your students. So I’m just ever so grateful that KZread algorithm gods have finally let me discover you. I have already decided that I want to take additional instruction independent of my curriculum so I can do deeper dives into improving my technique. I’m going to work some of your online courses into my budget during my summers and winter break. I am just incredibly happy that you and your school exists.

    Yeah. I think there's also the idea of rather than give up: rest and then keep going. I've been trying out different art forms like acting and writing to let my drawing and painting rest for a bit. Then have been picking up a pencil and doing simple cafe sketching to ease back in.

    what criterions have you put to have said that you overcome the pride of having your student become better than you? are we supposed to just believe you by word of mouth? yes you are great at drawing, and no one can deny that fact, I just want to know if you have already overcame that aspect of yourself that feels like you own someone just because you have taught them

    As long as your studio does not contain wide windows through which natural light can enter, it is considered to be of no value at all. Daylight is very necessary for the studio, otherwise it is considered a dark cave.

    There is so much relevant information in this video, philosophical, artistic and psychological, that you can apply in any discipline. Furthermore, this demonstration of mastery is priceless. I'm going to watch this video again and again and again. "Try to make it fun" , "There's no shortcut" Thanks so much 😎

    Thanks for this Jeff. I've listened to this so many times and was just listening to it now while I was doing timed practice. You have an attitude that shows a spirit of practicality. People like to think of artists as weirdos or unstable psychos. But when you talk, you give the impression of someone who has a sound mind, is down to earth and articulate. You also don't sugar coat.
