Draftsmen

This episode starts with a bang! Marshall adds onto last week’s episode about choosing *older* art parents. Stan talks about hyper-analyzing our schedule to identify blocks of time that we want to use differently. It’s amazing how much time can be created by using our time more efficiently. We can draw more every day if we know how to make time for it. Marshall discusses external structures and deadlines to force us to finish things and identifying the non-negotiables in our schedules. How do we balance personal life and work? A caller asks about selling art and joining a gallery.Call and Ask Your Art Questions: 1-858-609-9453Michelangelo’s ManBaby: http://proko.com/draftsmen-media/man-babies.jpgJustin Sweet: http://proko.com/draftsmen-media/Justin-Sweet-Painting.jpgStan’s Early Commissions: http://proko.com/draftsmen-media/Stans-Early-Commisions.jpgStan’s Award Winning Painting: http://proko.com/draftsmen-media/Noble-Savage.jpgEddie O'Connor - Psychology of Performance: http://amzn.to/2LJ4ieC Proko Skulls: https://proko.com/skullMoguls & Movie Stars: A History of Hollywood: http://amzn.to/2XwS2Ff Learn to Draw - www.proko.comMarshall Vandruff - www.marshallart.comStan Prokopenko - instagram.com/stanprokopenkoThis episode is brought to you by Proko.If you want to learn how to draw, if you want to improve your knowledge of figure drawing and figure anatomy, look no further than proko.com.
