I am too late here but will wait for next one...
I have checked d series link thanxx shyam sir..

[angels_arrows]

it was a nice session .. but was a little boring as you were only answering questions and did not get in too deep in the sketch.

would be great if you can elaborate on a theme, show different comparisons say comparing a skull to other types of skull..even maybe an animal skull .. that would show us more the difference ...

Also if you have reference pictures from famous artists that also would be great...

These are just suggestions .. hopefully we will get to see more !

cheers

[shyamshriram]

Thanks for the honest feedback..sorry if the session was boring to you..

First of all, its one of the 3 sessions (2 hrs. each) and it was about human skull and basic facial muscles and like i said, anatomy is a very complicated topic and that's NOT our main topic for this webinar too.. so, it's kind of impossible to compare human skull AND animal skulls and talk about the differences between them within just 2 hours...and as you have seen, most of the people were beginners so they were more concerned about software and tools settings etc. and i couldn't just avoid their questions and keep drawing as interaction is must for this kind of session..we need to think about all kind of skill levels here.
It was just a first part of first session of this kind, if we get good response then we can even have a special session about 'Anatomy'.
in future, we CAN think about different sessions for different kind of skill levels if people are interested.
you can clearly see that how many people are really interested in this kind of sessions by the number of replies here even though the session is 'free'.

Thanks,
Shyam
