The main things to know is that I'm restructuring how critiques are handled. They're not going away, but I am taking several measures to decrease my workload.
- Free critiques will resume October 1st, and stop indefinitely after October 7th
- Paid critiques will be available to those who pledge $3 or more
- The lesson demo video recordings will still be available to all patron levels
- I want to try doing semi-regular Q/A threads, where a post is created on /r/ArtFundamentals and for the next 6-8 hours everyone is welcome to ask questions (from minor things to "how do I do this" or "why does this drawing I did look wrong" - all related to the lessons of course). After the set amount of time, the thread will be locked and a few days later I will post a video answering as many of the questions as I can, with demonstrations, explanations, etc.
- I'm still working on updating the existing lessons. This is where I want to invest the majority of my time, rather than on doing individual critiques, as this is where the work will have the greatest impact. I want to clarify my explanations wherever possible, do more demonstrations, and perhaps come up with more helpful exercises that are relevant to each lesson.
