Anyone can change their name and profile image to impersonate someone else and scam you. Good thing this member checked with me. This happens not just to my community but all communties. Remember: 1. I will never DM you asking for money. Almost certainly won't offering you a paid opportunity, or asking you to do work. But If anything like that does happen, it will be also posted in the announcements as proof it was genuinely me and I would give you the post link. 2. I will never ask for private info that could compromise your account. Any legit info request (like for a giveaway) will also be in announcements. 3. Anyone claiming to be a collector, interested in buying your art, or talking about NFTs is almost always a scam. If you're unsure, do what this member did, DM me directly by replying to the welcome message I sent when you joined. If something feels off, trust your gut. It's probably a scam.

I been monitoring the community (even tho it may seem I'm not as active at times) and is keeping track of all the new drawings and new students! welcome! The other job I doodle in, recently had a crucial employee leaving the company. Giving I'm the jack of all trade and it's real estate a whole bunch of random stuff all fell on me. So was a little busy. But here are 3 recent drawings (use arrow to move to right) I've done as I strive to become more active again. hope I myself haven't forgotten everything! (I'll be making a work shop going over mainly the starting portion (like 1st 30min to 1 hour - rest is just boring fine tuning) of each drawing for my premium community. I know it seems like my subjects are biased (It kinda is, but i finished drawing of an old gentleman, need to edit and upload that at soon) cheers!

I'll finalized a feedback video of some recent new posts from new members. if you have a drawing, now it is the time to post it!

Kinda raw and a lot of the drawings posted is not really from my reference but I commented here and there hopefully to provide some info and insights.

Haven’t done much marketing yet, but this community’s growing steadily. Might ramp things up next few month. Watch the course. Do the exercises. This isn’t for tier kickers but action takers. I used to charge serious money for the content here. I now pay $100/month to keep it free. But truth is, people often don’t value what’s free. If community energy picks up, I’ll match it with my own time. I do have a feedback video prepared for a lot of new drawings submitted. But when vast majority haven't even finished watching 20% of course material, it's time for those to step up. or just leave the community. If you had to pay $5k to be here, I bet everyone would watched every video and done every exercise. This is partly the reason and known psychology effect and why most ppl just stuck where they are when you hand them top info on a silver platter vs when they had to work or pay for it. I know most online courses are slow and boring. Mine’s fast and no-nonsense. Only two modules—Proportions and Tone—are a bit longer, but those are the core for drawing anything realistically. A security note: 1. Reminder: if someone contacts you pretending to be me, don’t fall for it. I’ll never reach out without verifying it’s really me, usually through a pinned announcement or post. 2. There’s a premium version of this community (skool.com/artacademy) for those serious about results. Annual fee only. I run live workshops and it’s going to move more toward high-ticket because commitment = results. Price will keep going up to reflect that. (for those in there, last 10 days I been quite busy but I already have a workshop planned) There are students of mine from other channels who doesn't even know about it cuz the price on there is too low at the moment so I'm have to keep raising it. My schedule is just not settled at the level i want to and the few ones who are in that community are luckily all quite advanced. 3. Info-wise, I don’t hold back here. The difference is: in the free version, you’re learning to box with videos; in premium, I’m in the ring with you. Other Altieri (have live workshop) programs online, u gonna pay 3 digit every month for maybe 1 session with some distant teacher streaming to thousands, whose credential doesn't necessarily surpass mine) - Imagine if you want some individual feedback or attention on your work.
