Learning Along Side RJ Palmer (Arvalis)

Ok so recently I've done a review on RJ Palmer AKA Arvalis from DeviantART. Well a few weeks back he put up a link to his skillshare account where he would be teaching us all about how he designs his creatures, from the very first thumb nail steps to refining anatomy, colour theory, lighting and full rendering to create our very own realistic creature.

The course itself was $19 dollars which to work with a guy like Arvalis is really quite a steal to be honest. Because of all the uni work I've had on recently I've only been able to do the first thumbnail and anatomy sections of the homework he has set and we've not really gotten around to fully designing and colouring my creature. I did get some really good feedback from him though and I was blown away by how quickly he actually responded to the work that I've been doing.

Though I can work at my own pace entirely I don't want him to think that I've forgotten about the course and won't finish it, because I completely intend on doing it. Its just simply a matter of finding the time to do so, which all being well will be pretty much as soon as uni is completely out of the way and giving me enough time to put my mind to it 100%.

I believe the skillshare for his class is still open so by going to his artist review on my blog and going to his deviant art profile you'll be able to buy into his course and get feedback from a true professional thats already safely anchored into his profession. If there is ANYONE that can help with securing a foothold in the creative industry its Mr.Palmer.

I can't wait to continue with the course when i have more time. The more help I can get from him the better in the long run.
