How to Study Master's
This week's episode is about how to study masters. We asked beta testers for their thoughts on the topic and they posted a bunch. So we'll mention a lot of their stuff, we'll go through their questions. Some of them are in a little random at the end, but I do have some that I want to start in the beginning with.
In this episode, Stan and Marshall discuss studying from masters. You’ll learn the difference between a master study and a copy, how beginners should approach studying masters, the artists that Stan and Marshall have done studies from and lessons they learned from them, a breakdown of the creative process, and how to figure out which artists are worth studying. Also, Court Jones from the Caricature course produced a couple lessons on master studies. Find them in the show notes below.
