Dear Fellow Artists,
There’s a little-known idea about figure drawing.
Hardly anybody is talking about it. But when you learn and use it, you’ll see incredible growth as an artist.
The old idea was to study in expensive workshops and create hundreds of figure drawings — spending countless hours sweating every detail of your work until eventually you just “got it.”
Maybe one month you focused on the muscles of the head…
Maybe later you focused on the way the muscles of the arms work together…
Then you would go back to the head for a few weeks…
Then you’d jump to light and shadow work…
This old way is confusing, and it takes a long time to put all the pieces of the puzzle together.
And though there is no substitute for practice, you can waste years on “bad practice” without the right direction.
The NEW IDEA is different, and it goes like this:
First you follow a series of proven steps and learn the fundamentals of creating your figure study…
Next you learn how to establish proportion, how to work with forms, and how to use balance and movement to breathe life into your work…
…THEN you learn how to harness your intuition and get into a focused state of creativity where you combine technique with intuition.
…Then you practice like mad.
Getting Into the Zone
The Zone is where the magic happens — where your drawing takes on a style that's unique to YOUR vision as an artist.
I
f you follow this step-by-step formula for learning the fundamentals AND riding the wave of intuition, then your drawings will become truly incredible.
Show your work to your friends and family, and they will be speechless. “You did that?”
You see, with this method you learn how to cut out the trial-and-error and follow a proven map to creation.
In short, THIS is how you get VERY good at figure drawing, VERY fast.
But there’s ONE critical detail you need to make this work.
We’ll get to that part in a second…
But first:
How Much Is Your Time Worth
to YOU as an Artist?
Here’s why this question matters:
We live in a world that is busier than ever.
Our lives are full of distractions and ever-growing responsibilities.
We have relationships, work, families — all competing for what little free time we have.
This means when you sit down to draw, you DON’T want to waste your time!
And worse, you don’t want to continue to be frustrated with the quality of your drawing.
And this is yet another reason you need a system for learning to draw the human form.
Now:
There are several “traditions” of figure drawing, but when it comes to sheer beauty and impact, one certainly stands out:
The Renaissance Style.
The Old Masters of the Renaissance created incredible figure drawings that were both lifelike and expressive —- and they learned to do this because they had
THE RIGHT TEACHER!
THIS is the ONE THING you absolutely need if you want to learn to create stunning figure drawings.
Michelangelo learned from the legendary Ghirlandaio…
Titian was an apprentice of Bellini…
Leonardo da Vinci was taught by Verrocchio…
The list goes on and on.
Now YOU have the rare opportunity to learn from a legendary master of the Renaissance Style.
Ask any figure drawing expert who the leading master of the Renaissance drawing tradition is today, and one name will always come up:
Michael Mentler.
He’s been called a modern Da Vinci by his peers — including some of the most famous contemporary artists working today — and if you have a look at his work, it’s easy to see why.
Many of his amazing studies of the human form could EASILY have come from a dusty old Florence studio in the 1400s…
This one, for example:
Michael has become so important on the art scene, they even named a paint color after him: Mentler Mustard.
We’ve followed Michael’s work for quite a few years now, and recently we convinced him of the importance of passing his decades of mastering the figure on to future generations by documenting it on video. Few people ever get to study with Michael in person.
We were floored at how much Michael shared with us. He didn’t just share the techniques, he also went through the THEORY behind each one of them.
