Thank you so much!

Thank you 🙇🏻‍♀️ This is a recent decision, I have been hesitating for a long time, but I think I’ll follow the Figure Painting track and supplement it with other courses (on portrait and animal drawing). Right now NMA is still in the process of opening up modules for interactive, so I’ll jump to the next open module: Figure Drawing I. Before that I want to take a class that I skipped in the Drawing Foundations module, Constructive Figure I, because the next module includes the second part of that class and I don’t want to take it without the first half 😉 Which track are you considering?

@@Julie.Miette that's what I thought you would choose, looking forward to see your progress in this module. I'm mainly interested by figure and lanscape painting but I'll choose after finishing the DF module. 😊

Thank you, I’m glad it’s interesting! I’m not doing the 2 year foundation program, because it covers the Drawing Foundation module and I’ll be done or almost done with it when the program starts… I don’t just pick my modules either, I follow the course guide that is available on the NMA website. No matter the track you want to follow, you start with the Drawing Foundations module. I also follow the order in which the courses are laid out within the module, which I recommend 😊

@@Julie.Miette Thank Julie!

That’s interesting, I didn’t relate this to autism at all but there could be something there. Anyway, that doesn’t change the feeling :) Even if you can’t let go, I believe being aware of what’s happening helps dealing with emotions. Thank you for the single class reviews! I won’t be able to do that for the classes I took in the past but hopefully my « 1 year at NMA » video could give you an idea, I show all the assignments and share my memories from the class in that one. I also like to know what I’m jumping into, I’m glad my channel can help with that!

Thank you, that’s a great idea! I’ll have to think about the format, because I don’t want to repeat my « 1 year at NMA video » but talking about what the highlights and harder parts of the module were for me could be interesting, and as you said my favorite assignments. I take note! 😊

Unfortunately I don't have a much better idea... You could slightly reduce the weight you carry by taking your water directly in the cups you'll use when painting (that would remove the need for extra bottels and the funnel), something like pill bottles works well. If you use a water spray, instead of having a small water spray and a water bottle you could also opt for a large water spray that would also act as your clean water bottle. But water is the heaviest and most annoying thing in a sketching kit 😅

You're correct, that's the one!

Thank you 😊 I can't tell you because I haven't chosen yet... The first module (Drawing Foundations) is common to all tracks so you don't have to decide for a long while. After I finish it I'm going to follow the Figure Drawing I module, because they're still opening the modules for interactive and that's the next open module. I want to stay within the interactive and this module is part of 2 tracks I have been considering: Illustration, and Figure painting.

@@Julie.Miette thank you Julie I wanna do illustration too. I like your process it's amazing keep going 🥰😍

Thank you for the feedback! I edit my videos with headphones and try to balance it for the music not to be distracting. I'll keep that in mind.

Merci beaucoup, je suis contente que ça t'ait inspirée 😊 Ça ne me dérange pas du tout, je suis touchée ! Bonne chance pour la transition d'un thème à l'autre, je sais d'expérience que c'est difficile sur UA-cam, mais il faut créer des choses qui nous tiennent à cœur. Tout le meilleur avec NMA !

@@Julie.Miette Merci et ta réaction positive et si gentille compte beaucoup pour moi!

Thank you!

Thank you! Unfortunately I stopped using Milanote, I only made this one, because it's not a free app and I didn't have enough use for it.

@@Julie.Miette No problem! Still inspiring and looks really useful :D

Thank you!

It's slightly smaller than A4, here are the weight and dimensions from the website: Easel dimensions : 29,5 x 20,7 x 0,9 cm (11,6 x 8,15 x 0,35 inches) Weight : 205g

Thank you for taking time to comment! If you have an NMA subscribtion I think it's definitely worth a look, it's going to give you practice for a lot of concepts that are covered in the earlier classes. And they're just sketchbook studies 😊

C'est avec plaisir ! Et une très bonne question question à poser... Malheureusement non, tous les cours ne sont pas sous-titrés en français. Je viens de re vérifier, pour l'instant les cours qui ont des sous-titres traduits sont : Drawing Foundations I Drawing Foundations II Drawing Foundations III Drawing Foundations IV Fundamentals of Drawing and Perspective Je pense que les trois premiers cours du catalogue (Drawing Foundations I et II, et Fundamentals of Drawing and Perspective) remplissent plus d'un mois d'études, donc vous pouvez essayer de prendre un mois d'abonnement pour tester. Si à la fin de ces cours vous vous rendez compte que ce sera trop difficile sans les sous-titres, vous aurez quand même appris beaucoup. Fundamentals of Drawing and Perspective est un de mes cours préférés 😊 En français on m'a recommandé www.apprendre-a-dessiner.org mais je ne l'ai pas personnellement testé. C'est fait par un ancien professeur de Émile Cohl et cela ressemble à un équivalent français de la méthode Drawabox. Le fonctionnement du site est différent, on achète des cours plutôt qu'un abonnement... Je pense que NMA est la meilleure option mais si l'anglais est un gros blocage, après les cours traduits à NMA, c'est vers ce site que je me tournerais. N'hésitez pas si vous avez d'autres questions !

@@Julie.Miette Merci pour ta réponse ! C’est bien se que je pensais pour les sous titres, j’avais vérifier plusieurs extraits vidéos au hasard et il n’y y avait pas les sous titres partout. C’est pas grave je vais déjà faire les premiers cours et sûrement continuer avec les sous titres anglais. Je me débrouille en anglais mais pas a l’oral, j’ai du mal a le comprendre mais je le lis sans trop de difficultés. Les cours ont tellement l’air d’être qualitatif que j’ai envie de tester de toute façon ! Merci pour avoir pris le temps de me répondre et j’attends ta prochaine vidéo avec impatience ! 😘

Thank you Renee!

Thank you!

It's a HAHNEMÜHLE D&S sketchbook, this particular one was given to me by my mother but it's easy to find in Europe (Gerstaecker and other art store chains carry it).

Thank you for your comment! And you don't have to be sorry. I totally get you, the token system changes a lot. If you want to get feedback on assignments, it's going to be more expensive now than it was (and still is) for me, and that's unfortunate. I am in a privileged position as I don't have to pay for tokens until my subscription expires. I did the math, and had I needed to pay for tokens, I couldn't have afforded to move through the courses as fast as I did. I feel very lucky, but at the same time people who joined before I did had even better deals. I still wholeheartedly recomment NMA. It doesn't change anything to the quality of the education (actually some of their new offers improve it), and regardless of the price I don't know anything that compares. On top of that I think the tokens and different level of critiques are fairly priced and if you have the discipline to follow the courses, they provide more value than you could get elsewhere for the same price, as far as I know. I still recommend the most basic subscription, it's more than enough to get started. If you can afford tokens to submit your assignments, it adds a lot of value (especially now the new "video tutoring" option where you get a draw over of your assignment, I still have to try it out but I heard great things about it from other students). If you can't afford tokens, here's what I would do: - there's a study buddy club on Discord, you could join it to get feedback from other students currently doing the same class, and / or ask for critiques from the community - do all the assignments no matter what, and save them somewhere: maybe you'll be able to afford tokens at some point and you'll want to submit them to get certificates for the courses If you stil doubt (and this is my advice no matter what) just get a month of sucbsciption to try it out, it doesn't engage you to anything. I hope you can find the best option for you to study art now that you have time 😊

Thank you so much! I'm glad you like these videos!

Thank you, I'm so glad it is!

I'm French 😊

@@Julie.Miette oh...sorry.....i thought you're german coz you and miss sabine hossenfelder have the same accent....sorry maam😅

Oh no problem at all! I'll go listen to her to have an idea! I don't speak German at all but we probably have a lot of sounds in common. Historically French is Latin that got mispronounced under German influence (with a lot of other phenomenons of course).

Merci beaucoup ! Je pense que l'abonnement live ne reviendra pas, il incluait le group coaching et les cours live, mais ces deux offres sont remplacées par de nouvelles offres avec les tokens. Malheureusement l'offre pour les critiques des devoirs a évolué et est devenue payante (elle était gratuite en phase beta), 1 token pour une critique de devoir et la possibilité de demander un certificat pour le cours une fois tous les devoirs soumis. Il n'y a pas d'option pour simplement valider un devoir sans avoir de critique, mais si vous faites les cours sans critiques vous pouvez très bien accéder aux vidéos du cours suivant, personne ne demandera de pré requis. Avec le nouveau système il y a aussi la possibilité de soumettre n'importe quel devoir pour n'importe quel cours, il n'y a plus besoin de tout faire dans l'ordre. J'espère que c'est un peu plus clair ! C'est une grosse période de changement.

@@Julie.Miette Merci beaucoup, je crois enfin avoir tout compris entre ce que tu présentais il y a quelques mois et ce que j'ai trouvé en arrivant. Pas impossible que je te pose de nouvelles questions de temps en temps. Bon boulot à nous tous ! 😉

Thank you! It's a lovely memory too, I had a lot of fun drawing these 😊

Thank you! I work from home and combine my online shop, this UA-cam channel (1 day of work per week), studying at NMA and other projects. I try to rest on Sundays, lately I have been working 6 days a week, everything combined. Some days I don't study at all, when I'm making a video for example. On days when I study, it can vary... It's easier for me to give you a weekly estimation. I think on average I spend around 20 / 25 hours working on NMA classes. Some classes are heavier on assignments, others heavier on video content, lately with Dynamic Sketching I spent most of that time on assignments. But if you were talking about this course specifically, the video lessons were 2 hours per week and I spent between 1 and a half and 3 hours doing the assignments depending on the weeks. ☺️ I was working on other courses at the same time.

@@Julie.Miette Thank you for taking the time to answer. It's very inspiring to see how commited you are and your capabllity to manage this full time art studies, job and other projects. I think you should be very well organized to achieve all of it.

Thank you! I get what you mean with the overlapping with markers. It's better with alcohol markers, before it's dry you can kind of make a wash and it will even out and blend together... I just find the smell and feeling unpleasant, and it bleeds through some papers. I find a lot of joy drawing outside too, although I have been focusing on statues and botanicals 😊

Merci beaucoup !

Thank you! 🙇🏻‍♀️

Thank you, I'm so glad it was!

For all assignments where you work from references, those are provided with the lessons (even if your subscription doesn't grant you access to the image library, you still have the assignment references). There is one still life in Drawing Foundations I for which you have to setup the still life yourself, and putting it together is part of the assignment. Otherwise references are provided, although for some assignments you are welcome to work from life and take a picture of your reference if you submit your assignment, so the TA can see it too. In all cases it's written in the assignment PDF. 🙂

It is a fantastic medium, I hope I can get back to it at some point. Thanks for the accent 😂

Thank you Ciara!

Avec plaisir 😊

Oh thank you!

Thank you! Do you mean sketch consistently?

@@Julie.Miette yes

It is difficult. Steve Huston had a great suggestion in one of his courses, that is to simply aim for 5mn a day. Don't aim for more, and if you skip a day, on the next one don't try to make up for it, just try to draw for 5 minutes; as you build the habit and get into the drawings this may increase naturally, enjoy it, but don't ask yourself for more.

@@Julie.Miette thanks for the tip

Thank you! Yes it's definitely one of the pages I enjoyed doing the most, I wish I could get my hands on a book of his drawings and studies to study... You're correct for the statue! Here she is: fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fichier:Aphrodite_du_Capitole.jpg Have a great week too, and thank you for your thougtful comment 😊

Thank you 😊

I'm glad it was helpful! Have fun with your setup!

Thank you Denise! 🙇🏻‍♀️ I feel bad for not liking them when people seem to enjoy them so much, but I can't change the way I feel... I'm still learning and making progress, there are things I could apply to sketches that would be more like me.

Thank you and welcome here 😊 Noted, I hope it will be helpful!

Thank you so much for your kind words! And I'm doing well now, thank you 🙇🏻‍♀️

Thank you so much!

Fingers crossed for the program! That sounds like fun, I hope you enjoy the fashion design 😊

That's great! I hope you enjoy the courses!

I'm glad it did! Thank you 😊 Don't be scared of Dynamic Sketching... It's going to hurt just the same no matter what 😅 I'm kidding, I hope you enjoy it, it's an amazing class.

It's still difficult for me to think that way, I think it's our natural tendency to want to make things look nice... But that's about making the right compromise.
