The End of Draftsmen!?! - Draftsmen S3E29

[@Draftsmen]

What’s your favorite Draftsmen memory? Edit: Also, note from Marshall- Harold Pinter's The Homecoming was from 1964, not the 50s

"Well, it depends ...."

[@zacharyfeldman9842]

The time in the future where you came back and said, we are doing a new podcast!

[@diego_segura]

The realization that if I want to become a parent, I need to establish my career in entertainment arts first, and the DIY art school (it's my go to series to relisten). I'm soon to begin teaching basic drawing at college where I work; all thanks to your wonderful advice and examples of life. Really appreciated your company during lockdown. So long.

Marshall schooling Stan when they were negotiating for his art 😂

[@UnEmily]

As someone who's only recently discovered this podcast, and has started at season 1 to listen from the beginning, this is a bummer! I've thoroughly enjoyed the information, advice, insight, and inspiration this has given me. I love the dynamics between the two of you, and it quickly became one of my favorite things to listen to.

[@MT-2020]

Agree!

[@danielchuck5052]

Excited for Marshall's book review podcast or any type of podcast he chooses to do. He's an endless encyclopedia of interesting thinkers, will follow 100%

This made me incredibly sad. Im hoping to find a similar podcast to this one, but I dont think anyone can compete with Marshall's voice & charm

[@Underworlddream]

The only other Podcast I can think is similar to Draftmen is Ninja Mountain Scroll podcast, they had a number of Fantasy and Scifi illiustratior who talk about the industry and their life experience. It has over 125 episode before it ended but sadly many have been lost during server migration. The artist Socar Myles is one of the host and is funny.

[@ZoungyArt]

It was, indeed, the golden age of Stan and Marshall podcasts😪 Hopefully there will be an annual holiday special or something🤔

[@Underworlddream]

@@ZoungyArt They really need to do episode when their something new in the industry that could effect everyone, like when NFT started going big.

[@Draftsmen]

@@ZoungyArt that is always a possibility

[@Draftsmen]

@@Underworlddream we will look at doing an episode or two if something newsworthy comes up throughout the year.

[@BudderChezMC]

Aw I'm so sad it's ending! This podcast gave me comfort and encouraged me when I was feeling down through my art journey :) Thank you for the fun times Stan and Marshall!

[@midnightdreams8136]

Please don't end the Draftsmen!!! 😭😭💔💔 It has been such an incredible podcast and even my bf who isn't into art started to listen to the episodes with me because it was such a great quality podcast.

[@joemariechua4025]

You're both heros in every artist's journey. The therapeutic voice of Marshall and positive energy of Stan. There's no boring moment listening to both of you. . Draftsmen is the best.

[@zacharyfeldman9842]

Haven’t watched yet but please don’t end this!!!! It makes our weeks so much better!

[@Plum_Night]

I only started seriously studying drawing two years ago, at the age of 28. Marshall and Stan have been like a compass and a north star to me. Thank you for all your wisdom!!!

[@dianarene8952]

Sad because we know how rare it is to find two artists who can contribute so much to your life.

[@mangagnome9764]

I listen to this podcast every day while I draw. This podcast kept me going. I really wish it wouldn't end.

[@bktart7169]

I find myself going back into episodes all the time. Listening to this show helped me get back into art/drawing. Thank you for the help and all the content!

[@kravenmoorehead2396]

Never made a comment on a KZbin video before but I'd like to thank you Stan and Marshall for all that you've done for my ability to grow as an artist. I'm a wannabe stand up comic and I've been able to discern so much wisdom from the two of you over the seasons. You actually trained me to be able to see advice from other disciplines and apply it to my art/craft and I cannot thank you enough for that. Also I really love your whiteboard class Marshall and I love how you guys DO leave the discussions open enough to apply to multiple disciplines. Thanks a million Since you said that this isn't the last episode it's just the last season maybe season 3 could go on forever? :)

[@FitzMusic]

The hours I’ve spent listening to this podcast while working on my art have been so enjoyable. Very sad to see it end.

[@hollieharlow1129]

I just bloody found you 4 days ago! Thank you for what you do. Blessings for your futures.

[@douglasryanadams]

This show has been a huge part of me rediscovering illustration, figure drawing, and creative arts through the pandemic. This podcast had perfect timing as the pandemic hit us all, in many ways you can see little echos of the impact through the episodes. I really look forward to revisiting it again a few years. Looking forward to see what comes next for Stan and Marshall!

[@anonymouscoward9917]

As all the other comments have said, this is a sad day indeed, but I'm so grateful that we got these past 3 seasons. Thank you. The knowledge I've gotten from this podcast has been invaluable. Wishing you all the best.

[@lunab541]

Aw, that's a bummer. This was an invaluable companion for long working afternoons, or just doing the dishes. I can't thank you guys enough for all the wisdom and entertainment I got from this podcast. I hope you make one last compilation of Marshall's tunes, those are gold

[@poseidon689]

I cannot thank you enough guys for this podcast! My career has rocketed since i first started listening to your podcast and following the advice and tips i could pick up! It's a reaaally rich compendium of experiences and knowledge, thank you for everything and keep on beeing amazing!

[@kingpen1179]

Everything about this podcast is memorable, and I will be reliving every moment of this til I'm dead. Thanks Stan and Marshall

[@varuntulsyan2558]

I've learnt so much from guest interviews, especially James Gurney. So if you're running out of stuff yo talk about, just doing interviews with inspirational artists would be sooo appreciated. I would love to see so mamy more people on here.

[@Draftsmen]

Yeah that's what we're looking to turn this channel into 😄

[@varuntulsyan2558]

[@conchesodan]

yeaaah definetly my favourite one too

[@Rice8003]

A few episodes ago I noticed Marshall started to accidentally repeat his stories and the book review episode when Proko also started mixing up excerpts from the wrong books. That's when I realized the episodes were starting to become too similar and their time had come. It was a very life changing journey following you guys since the day the first episode aired till today. I think every episode before this past few ones (excluding the controversial social justice episode) were very entertaining and have been my weekly source of epiphanies for so long. I have no favourites, but I do admit the last few episodes were a bit lacking in unique content and value. If you guys ever want more content, you can always do more interviews, a lot more. Bring in abstract artists, children book authors and illustrators, graphic novel writers and illustrators. If you can bring in a curator and an animation director the ground is open for who can share their wisdom here. What's it like working in advertisement, an episode on notable art collaboration, politcal Art, working for the government, art journalism, industrial art, maybe some weird/interesting art movements no one has heard of. I see the lack of content as an opportunity to turn the podcast into a learning environment for you guys as well the listeners. Bringing in other artist just seems like the next logical step. But i understand if you guys have other projects you would prefer to put these efforts into. I'm just saying, I don't believe 3 Seasons is nearly long enough to cover all there is to the visual arts. Love the work you guys and the Proko Team have done for us, looking forward to see what next you guys have in store.

[@easyusername25]

This is very similar to what happened with Rhett and link. They always tell the same stories and can’t remember anything from previous episodes. But people still watch and listen for the personalities, regardless of the topic. So while I know they aren’t officially ending the podcast, it would be great to see more than 1-2 episodes a year

[@kullenberg]

Working for the goverment? What

[@scenepunk09]

@@kullenberg maybe he meant because they are both professors? Or use to be. Working in the public school system as an art teacher is working for the government I think...

[@scenepunk09]

They should hire this person if they decide to reboot the podcast. Lots of good ideas here.

[@ArningEchanoPH]

It's the first time I've ever seen a podcast come to an end. Thank you for the important art lessons and the good memories you've given us.

[@richirare]

Two Words: Hello Internet. At least with this one we got proper closure.

[@richirare]

For some reason I can read your comment on my notifications but not here, so I'm going to paste it here: "yes it's just another business closing for Stan, he never respected Marshall anyway. He's always Mocking whatever Marshall is saying." I wouldn't say he never respected Marshall, but I think most people forget this was a business relation for both of them. Stan wanted to do a podcast to promote his brand and Marshall wanted exposure to attract students. I think they both succeeded and Marshall admits that the podcast has given him a lot of exposure and that he has more students now than he knows what to do with them. Now that doing the podcast requires commuting to a location it is possible that he simply has no interest in investing so much time, money and effort into it (pretty understandable, I would do the same). I would have never have heard of Marshall had it not been for the podcast and I can say that I will keep an eye out for whatever he decides to do next.

[@ArningEchanoPH]

@@richirare That was just my knee-jerk reaction to the show having to come to an end. It's really sad because I always look forward to it every week, and Marshall was always so entertaining to listen to, I wish other podcasts or channels have him as their guest. Anyone with a similar wavelength and enthusiasm as him.

[@shilpa7920]

Really did not see this coming :// BUT gotta thank you guys, the guests, team behind it and the audience so so much for making this podcast one of my- THE MOST favorite one ever. The timing of me finding out about this podcast just really saved me from having a mid-life crisis. As an artist who just graduated this year, you guys have taught me what and how to learn with discipline, patience, and love. Thanks to you guys, I've been able to narrow down what path to choose which was my main issue. So once again, thank you everyone (even those who comment under) for shaping me into what I am today, and what I will become. Goodluck to all of you!!

[@AminWT]

I was really sad to hear the news. I discovered the podcast a couple of years ago (at the end of season 1 I think) and, besides all the things I have been learning from it, the podcast has been a wonderful companion, especially to survive the 8 hours of work, far from my easel. The discussions about art have been a true relief, a way to keep a "tiny toe" on it while I was away from it. The calm and positive mood of Marshall and Stan has been like a therapy. I hope we can hear more from you, maybe in other forms or projects. All the best to you!

[@margigreene4395]

Hi Marshall, I like the book reviews! Have so enjoyed and learned so much from both of you! Thank you Marshall and Stan! I took Marshall's Composition class this summer and absolutely loved it! Total mind expansion! Would love it to have Draftsman podcasts about every six weeks or so to be informed and keeping up on all of your observations, adventures, ideas in this great arty world! Will miss your weekly podcasts immensely, but onward and forward we must go!

[@Elyuni941]

Well thank you guys for all this years of wisdom and entertainment. I always looked forward to Tuesdays, I really hope Marshall does something similar with new guests and book reviews.

[@jakelasherart]

Please don’t get rid of any of the episodes, I really enjoy going back to listen to them. This podcast is awesome

[@maxismakingstuff]

I want to say that your podcast really helped me out. Though it's not a drastic change, over the pandemic I went from programming to rigging within 3D animation. I have been doing studies and recreating the cartoons I grew up with from 2D to 3D. My mindset has calmed about art, I have less jealousy for those who are successful and more admiration. It's been inspiring listening to you two discuss philosophies and practicalities about art and you've been a major part of why I want to further my learning. I hope one day I can say hi at a convention, your podcast meant a lot to me. Thank you Stan and Marshall.

[@sina3321]

So sad, these podcast helped me so much. Thank you guys so much for your work.

[@KyKikimora]

I really appreciated the Advice for Artists with Kids episode (S1ep23). It was the first time I'd heard someone say the ugly truth, which is that you can't commit to your kids and to your art in equal measure, that something has to suffer somewhere, be it your art-making or your quality as a parent. This hit home particularly hard as I stay home with my 2 kids while trying to start an art career, which simply isn't happening at this point. Hopefully in the future when they get a little older... It was heartening to hear professionals in the field validate and confirm that what I'm struggling against is genuinely difficult, that it's not just me. That episode helped me frame my goals to be an artist/parent as an invigorating challenge rather than something depressingly impossible. Thank you!! (To any interested comment-reader, the podcast Artist|Mother deals more specifically with these challenges and is definitely a worthwhile listen!)

[@evanglicanism]

This show helped me rediscover my passion when I was seriously burnt out during lockdown. It's bittersweet, but truly I'm just glad for all the shows you already did. Hope to meet you both at some point down the road!

[@gilvenlee2821]

Hands down, the best informative art podcast there ever is in KZbin, and for free! Sad to see the season ending, I am definitely looking forward to future seasons. Topics may be running out, but from the bottom of my heart, please make more! Thank you for your videos and insights!

[@StonedMovieTrailers]

Thank you so much for this Podcast. All the tips, book recommedations, and overall changing my way of thinking as an artist for the better. Thank you Stan and Marshal, much love!

[@juhknell]

U don't have to end doing podcasts. just treat Draftsmen as a segment to a whole & begin a new segment (like Story podcasts, Perspective podcasts, Animation podcasts). Draftsmen is like a root to many branches of art creation. Just a suggestion.

[@juhknell]

Also invite other creatives to host segments that they feel are important for beginning/all creatives to know about. That way, u guys won't even have to be present necessarily. I forgot to add that part.

[@Draftsmen]

We won't have weekly content on this channel anymore but we are looking to turn it into an interview channel where we'll post all our interviews with artists

[@ZoungyArt]

A cool take on the artist interviews would be if you traveled to important collections of Draftsmenship such as... Brandywine River Museum, Delaware Art Museum, Norman Rockwell Museum, Frazetta, etc. And observed and talked about art in those spaces, in front of the actual pieces, with your guests.

[@Draftsmen]

@@ZoungyArt that would be cool but highly unlikely since one of the reasons we're ending the podcast is to work on other projects and traveling to art museums would take a lot of work and time to coordinate.

[@ProdByGhost]

its not over itll just be proko Lol

[@ahmedyusuf1000]

Honestly, you two have great chemistry, the info was just a nice bonus.

[@thaumana8489]

As much as I enjoyed the chemistry between the two of you as you complemented each other wonderfully, I always thought it was a shame that Stan always came up short in the listener comments. I often felt that Marshall was far more respected (perhaps mainly because of his age), even though both had equally valuable experiences and interesting anecdotes to share. I consider Stan to be an important anchor point in this constellation, often also questioning Marshall's views or asking him to explain statements more elaborately (He often expressed his doubts or criticism when I had a similar thought at the same moment). This kept your podcast always very tangible and understandable, which made the exchange of opinions so pleasant and enjoyable for me. I will surely miss this regular rite, but I also have great respect for when showrunners decide to take a break from their podcast (for now) when they realize they're running out of anecdotes and stories. Thank you for your valuable contribution to the art community.

[@Garl_Vinland]

I could see this coming for a while now. Theres only so much you can tell beginners about draftsmanship, and after a while, I've noticed overlap in the content, and the questions. I'd love to get a podcast where they just talk about nonsense, but I understand the need to move on.

I'm sad to hear this, but I understand the need to move on doing other things. However this podcast can be a nice catchup in the future when you have exciting insights to share from the interests you've been into since. I think this is the best art podcast I've listened to because of the insight depth coming from Marshall and Stan's dynamic, and how the ruminations cover both the past and present. Coming from a concept art for games background, it's nice for me to listen timeless opinions that give a more 360 view of art besides just consuming the current trends and technology. This wider net will truly help present and future artists alike and keep them gravitating towards what's important especially in this day and age where easy access to quantity can be overwhelming. We'll see you again in the future! I hope you both enjoy your current endeavors!

The Talent Code episode was so enjoyable for me and reminded me of how it felt to listen to the beginnings of season 2 and 1. There's such a wealth of information in this podcast, and it's just great to listen to two people talk who have such a wide range of experience. Sad to see it go, but there's certainly enough already to make its mark!

[@KitKatWiffleBallBat]

All good things. I'm okay with this. There's so much to do and so much to see, to cling to one thing forever isn't worth it. Honestly, there's so much content to view and thousands of podcasts.

Sad to hear this news, but all good things must come to an end. I'm sure a lot of the voicemails were getting repetitive, haha. When you mentioned that certain topics would be better suited as courses than podcasts, I had the thought that maybe in the future you both could do podcast-style conversations where you bring on Proko teachers and discuss some of the courses they've created and why. That sounds a little like blantant self-promotion, because, well... it is! And I think that the audience that listens to these podcasts would be some of the best targets to market to. Anyways, thank you both for everything and looking forward to your new projects in years to come!

You guys are great and kudos to the work and content you've made. And you're absolutely right--every podcast that discusses art, creativity, the industries to be creative in, improving skills as an artist, etc. always ends up rehashing itself. Like you said, the things that people call in with questions about, the experiential wisdom you guys offer, it all gets distilled to the same half dozen lessons. But nonetheless--you two were unique in the podcast space and it was a joy to listen to. Thank you!

This was such a shock... I'm really gonna miss you two so much. Draftsman is the first thing that pops into my head when someone says "podcast" and it's not the only one I listen to... It's helped me through the creative process for years. It's been the podcast I sit down to listen to weekly! I appreciate you both for all the priceless advice and entertainment. I understand what went behind this decision though, and I respect that you don't want to drag this on past it's expiration date. I hope draftsman will come back one day, but only when you feel there's more to say! It's been nice reliving some of the memories of this podcast, marshal and stans chemistry as co-hosts is irreplaceable. Also, I really appreciate marshal for instilling a curiosity about art books into me... I never particularly cared for them before but now I've started collecting them. Stan, I love your dry humour and your occasional gems of business experience (I still have a lot to grow in that department!), and how you guys taught me about art teachers and how useful self-critique is. Also, thank you for introducing me to many great artists... I loved your interview with knight/arucelli (and the proko character design video) she is now one of my biggest inspirations both as a person and an artist!!

This podcast was absurdist theater. Loved it.

thank you for giving the Leo Tolstoy book a specific mention in the what is art discussion!!! had to do a presentation on that in high school, and from many of the definitions I've read Leo Tolstoy left the most impact on me too.

I totally love your podcasts, I'm just at season two maybe for the reason that I watch the same episode two or three times before moving on to the next one. They are so interesting bc you don't learn just about just drawing. I hope you guys continue to make them, maybe not that often bc of the reasons you have, but I hope you don't stop making them.

To paraphrase Bill Evans "Nobody would deny a baby crying isn't expressing itself... but you wouldn't call it art." I will miss this podcast tremendously! All the best to both of you and thank you from the bottom of my heart..

I missed the random facts or random obsessions. Through that i discovered great courses, so thanks Marshall. And thanks both of you for all your work and great content.

Ahh so sad the podcast is going to stop! Thank you Stan and Marshall and the Proko team for making this inspiring podcast. Looking forward to the interviews!

Personally; I wish Marshall would do more videos like the one he did of the horses sketching while using different tools - now that video was cool...and informative, too.

Some of your interviews were the most enjoyable for me. Really hate to see them be gone!

[@Jesh31G]

I really enjoyed your conversations and learned a lot! Best of luck to your future projects...
