I want to say, Nathan Fowkes’ classes on color, lighting, environment, and composition over on Schoolism.com are pretty goshdarn amazing. His classes (plus a ton of other classes by other wonderful and accomplished artists) are all available to audit for a $144 subscription fee per year (you can watch lectures, but you don’t get the video feedback on your assignments like you would if you paid to attend the full class), which is really quite a steal for what you’re getting. It’s some really good career prep work. I kind of wish I’d had it when I was starting out, but hey, better late than never. I’m hoping if I put the work in, this will help me tighten up some of my problem areas and maybe amp up my skillset and marketability. I’m sure the other classes are great, too, but I highly recommend checking out Nathan Fowkes’ various offerings. 

(oh boy, and later on Terryl Whitlatch’s creature anatomy class might be made available on the subscription plan?? 😀 )

This is the best art advice ever and you should all listen to it because it’s basically what I’ve been telling people for years.

This feels like one of those pieces of advice that are so brilliant that as soon as you have read it, it feels blindingly obvious.
