Marshall and I discuss the practicality and importance of studying multiple disciplines and how they can improve or cripple your art journey. We talk about the differences between holding a pencil and stylus and keeping fit

I am all up for natural way of drawing, my professor gave me the book last year and I still have not returned it, because it requires atmost commitment and I haven't completed it yet, let alone be completed I am on first exercise still.

I'm also wanting to do comics and graphic novels and I really recommend a writing course (especially screen writing) for people doing it. I hate to say it but I see, especially with web toons, a lot of great art being wasted with mediocre and derivative stories.

So I ordered The Natural Way to Draw. Marshall gives a good sales pitch, and it actually sounds like the kind of exercises that I'm looking for. Let's see if I can make it through the 750 (375) hours of practice...

As someone who always struggles to self direct my practice it sounds interesting to me. Something to go back to when I have an hour to study but don't know what to do in it.
Have you started it? Do you think you are getting much out of it?

The first part of this episode gave me such a sense of relief, because I had the exact same question that I was actually gaining courage to ask on instagram, but decided to rewatch the entire podcast first just in case they had something here about it.
Thank you so much for who asked that question and to the team for answering.

My first episode of Draftsmen and it's fantastic! Never been into such things but this podcast got me! I laughed a lot and now it's time to think carefully about the main question...it's hard because really was painful to me at some point and I was doubting if it's normal to do so many things. At a time. And still trying to be good at them. Now got used to it and have known myself better and realized it's just me and I can't focus on one thing because have this urge to change work continuously. Must say that these are different kinds of art though.
Thank you!
