stevie is a good artist but i find his educational material just sucks in terms of organisation
it's all over the place and disjointed, like they sliced it out of a coherent course and stitched it back together wrong

that's probably counterproductive for him since his business model relies on not being a filter

I personally think Steve Huston fails the art student. He does not teach what beginners need to know, namely, how to accurately observe shapes and values, and he dives right into complicated construction and gesture, which are really more advanced skills that can only exist upon a foundation of solid observational drawing.

There's a reason why George Bridgman did not accept students who couldn't pass the antique sculpture class with adequate observational drawing skills. Structural drawing is really too hard to duplicate as a complete beginner

that's not a huston thing, that's just the modern art education industry evolving from the american commercial art industry reimagining art instruction in an attempt to pump fresh blood into a market with too much demand and not enough supply in order to prevent the supply from going to photography, which happened anyway because the plan didn't work and they failed to produce the artists they needed
even /ic/ parrots this and it's why so much of the board is stagnant, everyone tells you to jump into figuring out pseudo-3d on a 2d plane instead of learning to actually make pictures

huston's actually among the better ones, for what that's worth, his approach to gesture is fairly observational and straightforward

agreed. Huston spent most of his career teaching at Art Center, which was at one point the most advanced art school in the world. Everyone there could've been considered mid-high /int/ by /ic/ standards. He doesn't know how to teach beginners from 0
