If you haven't already, I'd say the best master studies you can learn from are Loomis, Bridgeman and Burne Hogarth. All of them are masters at creating works from the imagination, and are critically acclaimed. Loomis has more "correct" human studies, Hogarth has "dynamic" studies, and Bridgeman's work is just quite distorted, and makes its own kind of sense. <br /><br />My personal suggestion would be Frank Frazetta. He's has skilled work from pencils to paintings and has very, very cool drawings.Chris Hayneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17036664754719009227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822292218339620482.post-84168575786387998262011-01-03T01:17:53.845-08:002011-01-03T01:17:53.845-08:00drawing a lot can be good, but you're already ...drawing a lot can be good, but you're already a damn good storyboard artist. the trick is finding the people that dig your style. you'll get really good at drawing if you're getting paid to do it 10 hours a day!Historianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11288473066598647024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822292218339620482.post-54921668192229103852011-01-03T00:08:17.605-08:002011-01-03T00:08:17.605-08:00Good point, Scott.

I want to look at a style or artist and say "I'm good enough to do that."JJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01359910311662482221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822292218339620482.post-20992281206546152502011-01-02T02:57:40.966-08:002011-01-02T02:57:40.966-08:00Why?

To become a better artist, since my art's not cutting it. <br /><br />I graduated over 2 1/2 years ago and back then I assumed I would be in a more respectable position career-wise after almost 32 months. So far I've been rejected from every studio position I've applied for and I havent really had any work beyond freelance for friends. <br /><br />I went through a bout of self-pitty this week, but slapped myself and said "quit bitching, do something about it."<br /><br />This is my plan to change that. Taking classes is not getting me where I want to be fast enough, so I'm cranking up the heat. <br /><br />I guess it's like a 300lb fatty who says "goddamnit, I'm tired of being fat," and decides to run 6 miles each day. Except I'm tired of being unemployed, and instead of losing weight, I'll improve as an artist.JJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01359910311662482221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822292218339620482.post-20882155293683241862011-01-02T01:15:07.276-08:002011-01-02T01:15:07.276-08:00why?
