Hi all, I'm finally taking the time to catalog my personal model photographs. I am planning to organize them into folders in my patreon group. I'd like to make this a regular monthly feature if you are interested. I'm not as prolific as Bryce Liston yet, but have a nice archive and am taking more and more photos every week. And I have good taste 😎 If you have any requests or ideas for model photos you are interested in, comment below. Thank you. I'm planning to do a male pro Muay Thai fighter soon. That will be epic!

If anyone needs help setting one up (cost, materials, etc.) let me know. Here to help.

Straight from the master's mouth to you. I didn't invent these exercises. During the 4 workshop days, Nathan emphasized two things A LOT: 1. Emotion 2. tonal abstract sketching I know most of us are working on figure and head craft, but for those who are making pictures or those who want to unlock their creativity (@Subham Sharma give these a try) this simple exercise is very useful and fun imo :) It's a perfect warm-up to your art and practice session if you're feeling a little 'flat'. Personally, this came at the perfect time. I've been in a comfort zone (form and academic rendering mode) for years and didn't even realize it. As a student, whenever a master artist I admire advises to do something, I go all-in and obsess over it until I fully absorb the knowledge and the core philosophy the master is trying to pass on to me. Nathan has been my hero and a HUGE influence for over a decade so I am trying my best to fully absorb what he taught us/me. This video is raw, no audio. I will make a proper version with commentary.
