I recently took your Domestika class and it demystified some huge stumbling blocks I’ve struggled with for years. The cognitive leaps I have had since taking your course are incredibly encouraging and energizing. It’s a pleasure to see more of your instruction available.

[@danthompsonfineart]

That's really great to hear. I'll be sure and make more of it available - thank you for the compliments

¿Estará disponible en castellano?

This class gives us a sense of drawing as very interpretative rather than imitative. Your awareness of perspective on the portrait is also very insightful. To crown it all, you articulate your thoughts and processes with mindful precision. Thanks a lot sir .👏👏

[@danthompsonfineart]

Thank you for your exquisitely chosen words of praise; it means a great deal to me. I'll be posting a new video on RUclips in the coming days, which I hope you'll find as helpful. My very best to you, Dan

[@emekaamadi283]

@@danthompsonfineart your videos are always very helpful and insightful. They make one fall in love with the art of drawing over and over . 👏👏👏👏

I went from Florida to NY C to take the “Facial Expresión” workshop in 2019. I’m looking forward to dedicate more time to study anatomy with Dan. I would never imagine to have such a dedicated, passionate about genius drawing mastery instructor. Thank you for this class Dan!

[@danthompsonfineart]

Thank you, Ana! Prior to 2020 I worked with the unforgettable life model Christophe - who helped make my Facial Expression workshop a hugely entertaining experience. The online version of that workshop is available through danthompsonart.com/workshops

I have taken your Domestika course like 4 times, it is so great. I am trying to understand and complement with this as well. I hope you can create more content in Domestika.

[@danthompsonfineart]

Thanks, Ricardo! I'm posting new content for all Patreons at the (minimal) Tutorial Level, as an online curriculum of study. I hope you can join me there.

[@khemetbey803]

I love your explanation. Thank you for sharing your skill. Through the years of learning to draw (using various literature and vids), I reached a point of "kind of" using the technique you are explaining but by no means feeling as confident, hence why I am still seeking ways to be better. I think I need to have a mentor to critique my work and point out where I can do better. My goal is to paint but I desire to be able to observe better and be able to add a unique appeal to my subjects (if that makes sense). Thank you again

[@danthompsonfineart]

My pleasure. I am available for mentorship meetings via Patreon (patreon.com/DanThompsonArt) which has worked well for my U.S. as well as international students, as well as emerging artists I advise. Patreon has quietly become the place for inexpensive, quality learning (from instructors far & wide). I have been teaching MFA-level Anatomical Drawing, Figure Painting and History of Drawing Techniques for nearly a quarter century; the online infrastructure of Patreon is enabling me to share concepts and disciplines that don't obliterate an artist's financial future, due to the cost of the education itself. Cheers.

Hello. New to your site. Great content. Would you mind telling me what paper you are using? Thanks

[@danthompsonfineart]

I appreciate your visit - and question. I'm using a paper that isn't too exotic for my students to acquire: Strathmore 400 (brown cover) medium textured, 18x24" paper. I've posted content about an array of contemporary artist materials that I recommend on my Patreon, fyi, in case you want to delve more into the details. Regardless, best of luck with your drawing!

Debería estar subtitulado en español.
Gracias.

What's the purpose of mirroring the reference photo horizontally throughout the video?

[@danthompsonfineart]

My online students always request a reference pic, so that they can draw along with me while I demonstrate...Makes our overall dialog more visually provocative.

[@joaquinboscheseverri9159]

What is the Lb/Gr of the paper you use??

[@danthompsonfineart]

80lb medium texture.
