The difference between a student...and a MASTER (Art class update!)

Updates on weeks 2-3 of Foundation Sketching with Sorie Kim. I feel like I've definitely learned a lot in this class so far, both about art and about learning and the industry in general. Part of me feelings like she goes way too easy on the critiques, but alas. She's the teacher and not me haha. If you're interested in seeing my notes for the class, let me know :3 I wonder if anyone actually reads my descriptions lol. Hope you enjoyed the video :)

About Me:
Hi, I'm Mithril and I'm learning how to draw! I've gone through many resources and practiced for many hours going from complete beginner to...wherever I am now, haha. If you're interested in following my journey, subscribe and see where I go! Remember that talent is a myth!

[@Reyna3103]

It's so impressive how far you've come! Good luck juggling work and art I hope it will all work out in the way that you want to

[@kuil123]

Just found your channel and binged like 10 videos! Love the laid back vibe of the channel. Hope to see more in the future!

[@didi1406]

YAY!! I am so happy you're keeping us updated on this class! I just wanna say your analysis of your journey to learn how to draw is incredibly awesome. I love listening to your lessons that you've learned from your experience. Like hearing your ephianies are so useful for other people to hear. Thank you for doing this journey for all of us out here who want to learn how to draw!

[@TanKLoveR]

Glad to have you back, seems you've done good progress since your last video. Just like you pointed out "self learning" how to draw can be tough cause it's hard to find the answers you need, one time I asked Steven Zapata during one of his live streams about which method I should use to draw faces? Loomis? Reilly? Block in? he told me that there isn't a good or bad method for drawing faces, they are just different tools so if one fits you better use it. Ever since I try to explore and try many different methods of doing things and going with what feels more comfortable in order to focus on learning instead of whether or not I picked the right method.

[@PedroMiguel-zv3fj]

Man, where are you? Hope you're doing fine! Your channel was one of my favorites and I would love to see your art

[@brap97]

I wouldnt hold your breath.

[@ileanalam9290]

Love this vid! Definitely given me some inspo for other skills to work on

[@ip8595]

hey! thank you so much for these videos, i learn through your notes and explanation 🙏

[@stormlord1984]

Thank you for these videos, I am a talent-less beginner that has been trying to learn for quite a few years now! I'd definetely like to see your notes, especially in the initial lessons

[@sandwich_technology]

I have to do this class. The drawings look great!

[@angeldelgado2709]

Anyone know what happened to her? Is she okay?

[@dummybear6772]

This class looks amazing. I'm kinda dying to take it now

[@mingshi7771]

Hey Mith! I hope I'm not overstepping when I say this -but are you still doing Evolve? I was fervently following your journey all the way up till your move. I recall you saying that you were doing a year-long gap to pursue learning art and that you were going to make content for them. Of course you don't need to tell us the whole story, but I assume there was a falling out sort of thing. I was interested in the program to see your end results (so I can evaluate whether or not it was worth it for me). Anyway, I'm glad you seem to be happy albeit returning to work earlier than planned. And I'm still enjoying watching content from you about anything

[@kamaria4751]

I was wondering the same thing too. Hope there is an update

[@drenamilton9425]

It was interesting to see the progress from a course Ive never heard of vs the typical internet regurgitation of just do drawabox and proko even though Ive never seen anyone become good from doing either(I am not implying they are bad its just I have never seen anyones before and after from completing either). Even something like Don Bluth's school which cost over 10k Ive never seen any results from that class. This is the only case Ive got to see someone making some pretty serious progress at something specifically.

[@lemontree405]

Hey Mithrilda! Because of you, I'm now part of the Evolve Programm (currently at the beginning of Block 2) and it was the best decision in my (self-taught) Art Journey so far! Thank you so much for your videos :-) I hope you're doing well!

[@Mithrilda]

SO happy to hear that you're getting a lot of value out of the program!

[@richardlewis1257]

You are really growing with this program. I'm doing Evolve because of watching your journey but this looks like a more free process than Evolve.

[@funlightfactory6031]

I am doing Evolve to and I love it.

[@genestone4951]

What happened to you? We all need an update! I miss you.

[@rahulkukreja4537]

Fantastic

[@Simon0501]

Your talent of drawing is so perfect ❤❤❤

[@nielsenryan]

Are you still doing evolve? Will you be doing more videos on it if you are? I do love these new videos and all of your videos have been very inspirational for my own art journey.

[@PrakrutiFineArt]

I have same question 😊

[@balferono4568]

Just stick with Evolve. All this will do is confuse you.

[@kamaria4751]

@@balferono4568 I agree. It’s best to focus on one thing at a time. It will actually increase your capacity to do other methods and materials.

[@balferono4568]

@@kamaria4751 Perfectly said. I think when you have the freedom to study art full time, you can afford to be a bit scattered. I don't have that luxury. Folks who can't see the prize in the end with Evolve are blind.

[@My_Secret_ArtSketchbook]

8:09- my favourite

[@BG-it5ol]

Are you still doing the Evolve course

[@eyeonart6865]

What happened to evolve?

[@msd9824]

Good to see you stepping beyond evolve to do other classes. This will take time, be patient though, drawing is not simple. It takes experience to really get it, but this class is a good start. Evolve teaches you to paint really well. As long as you have a reference, the moment you don’t you’re in trouble. Thats it’s weakness, i wish they would be more forward with it but the reality is evolve students have a lot more to learn post evolve. Especially in drawing, even in painting. I finished the first half, now im in the advanced program which takes even more time and effort so it;smslow going.

[@brap97]

Youre speaking to a wall buddy. She doesnt doodle for fun, she only follows courses and "doesnt like being bad at things" (insane thing to say as a wannabe artist). Thats why she doesnt even produce anything.

[@WilliamBilsters]

Wonder what happened to Mithril? it's been a long time since we've heard from her...

[@PedroMiguel-zv3fj]

I just wondered the same, love seeing her content. She must be going through real life for now and content must not be a priority I assume. Hopefully we'll still hear from her and see some cool art

[@bbailey0625]

Hey! Are you still doing the evolve course or am I slow and this is the evolve course? Was looking forward to hearing some feedback and is it worth $2k

[@VolodiaLukianov]

Очень круто. Классные навыки. Спасибо.

[@welcomecataclysm]

Hi Mithrilda, it looks like you haven't been active in a while so I'm not sure if you'll see this, but I'm just wondering after your experience with Evolve, if you think the course can lead to someone being able to paint from imagination after all? I know that was one of your big questions throughout the program.

[@LeoneDeloris4730]

I dont think she will answer you because she might have quit art, but based on analyzing her progress honestly I don't think Evolve helped her very much compared to other ateliers out there like Watts atelier

[@hispanicshovel1485]

@@LeoneDeloris4730i thought it was just me. I was looking through her more advanced works and for the results that evolve was promising, they didn’t match up. Even other students who are on block 8, and even the work of some of the instructors isn’t super impressive compared to an atelier level work. The thing is, sure evolve Can show you how to paint “fast”, but going through some students work shows that the results aren’t consistent in my opinion. I feel like they put so much emphasis on getting results quickly that they’re speeding through ACTUAL fundamentals, and don’t even cover drawing. The work the students produce is certainly better than when they first stared, but definitely could be a lot better if they had started off somewhere more rigorous IMO. I’m also not a fan of the fact that they have you start off tracing, and you even trace some more advanced paintings instead of drawing it yourself

[@Hijazi-1info]

Like there are no free painting tutorials on KZbin!?? If you watch plenty of free KZbin paintings courses and didn’t help you out! Then don’t expect much from Evolve! Lol. And yeah Mithrilda supports Evolve, saw her reaction to the comment about it

[@welcomecataclysm]

@@Hijazi-1info Not sure what to make of your comment, but thanks for the input.

[@Gilhfree]

If you can, could you post class notes or your homework? It'd be interesting to study

[@Mithrilda]

Message me and we can talk about the class!

[@unicorn6187]

👍

[@kamilskorzewski8298]

hi - I am wondering if you would be willing to share your notes from these courses? I am not sure if that would breach any laws /etc. I am invested in the journey and it would be nice to deep dive into your notes/ thoughts

[@j.s.elliot7121]

Great to see another update, Mith! The work-future work-life balance can be hard to juggle, heheh, but you seem to be doing it admirably. I'm glad that you're enjoying this class! Do you like Brainstorm (as a platform) in general so far?

[@Mithrilda]

I've really been enjoying Brainstorm! It's nice to be studying alongside people who are taking the class just as seriously as I am (as opposed to college where C's get degrees lol). And it's also great to be able to ask for help immediately (or at least within a week or less) and get demonstrations and examples and stuff.

[@tomatosoup6949]

What happened to u :c I hope this series to go on! I hope u doing well.

[@uwhite_]

I've looked through all the networks and it's like she literally disappeared. I'm worried, I think the community is too ...

[@rita5773]

When the new video drops?

why didnt you continue this series?

If you can, could you post class notes .I want to leran.Thank you!

[@Mithrilda]

Message me and we can talk about the class!

[@Vengurl09]

what happened with evolve? or you think you already learned enough from it?

[@Hijazi-1info]

What’s preventing you from going to the nearest art supplies store and ask the best way and tools to learn painting? I’m pretty sure will find tons of help there

[@funlightfactory6031]

The funny part is, all these skills will be replaced by DALL*E and AI. Hand painting a picture will still be valuable though.

[@Al1987ac]

She's doing exactly that - working in traditional mediums.
