Info and training - find them
If you are in the beginning stages of your studies or at the tail end, gathering information and excellent working habits is key to creating art work with depth or in another words art work with a spiritual level, going beyond anatomy and design.
I suggest you build or continue to build your art library ( my reading list will be posted sometime later this week) and find these instructors list below. Search them out and study with them. You need at least 2 years of study with each instructor to begin to grasp their message, some instructors you may want 4, 5, or 6 years with. Email them, meet with them, and let them know this is a life choice and you want to learn.
The instructors are:
Gary Weisman, Stephen Perkins, Myron Barnstone, Michael Grimaldi, Dan Thompson, Kate Lehman, Jon DeMartin, Kevin P. Lewellen, Stuart Mark Feldman, John Horn, Al Gury, Renée P. Foulks, Amaya Gurpide, Jordan Sokol and John English
