Aura
Analysis paralysis, or, the relief of a tailored curriculum

I enrolled in the Life Drawing Academy Correspondence Course for multiple reasons. I already had the Drawing Academy and Anatomy Master Class memberships, so I knew the quality will be great. As there are no good art schools in my country, this online personal tutoring is a great solution for me. I needed an art teacher with the skills and knowledge who could help me.I want to learn as much as I could in the 100 drawing tasks. Ultimately I would love to be able to draw realistic figures from imagination, and I figured this course would get me further with that than anything else I could be doing. But I also wanted to patch up the holes in my drawing fundamentals, so I was pleased with the way I knew the curriculum would be organized and tailored to my skill level. I get great tutoring and support. I receive critiques of my drawings and new drawing tasks without delays. I’m glad I enrolled.The videos on life drawing are really good. I learned a lot from these lessons and found so much new information I hadn't heard it anywhere else. I was also right in figuring that the curriculum would be very thorough. And best of all, I didn't have to think about what to do next. I become a lot better in drawing portraits thanks to the anatomy lessons. The videos also helped me with life drawing classes. For example, I learned that in a very steep perspective, you shouldn't actually draw the figure as you see it, because the parts of the body that are the furthest away end up way too small, but that you should draw what you know. I had always drawn what I saw as I thought that's what the correct perspective was. My hand-eye coordination also got a lot better. I never would've thought I could improve that much so fast!I recommend this course to other artists because it teaches much more than the fundamentals of drawing, and it's incredibly cheap for its value. Compared to other courses, it doesn’t skip drawing steps you must know and gives such lessons that are not available anywhere else. Every drawing task is thoroughly explained and you will get in-depth critiques of your drawings with explanation of mistakes and how to fix them.I do not know another drawing course that provides such classical drawing curriculum as Life Drawing Academy. Perhaps Florence Classical Arts Academy gives good tutoring as well, but it is much more expensive. Everywhere else, it's just copying photographs, which is not a useful skill if you want to learn to draw from life or imagination. Even the ARC (Art Renewal Centre) approved academies worldwide teach mostly copying and sight-size drawing. The FCAA and Life Drawing Academy are the only ones I've found that I know to teach the classical drawing curriculum, i.e. the only curriculum that teaches you real drawing skills instead of copying skills.
