I don't know.. there are probably artists on this forum that have prints there and I don't mean to discredit you.. Just really REALLY hard not be injured by this. The only reason I even approached them was because a guy emailed me wondering where he could buy my prints, I really just experienced the most extreme positive and negative of the emotional/artistic spectrum. Always a rough ride.

So, I just waited two weeks for a response from INPRNT only to be rejected in a single paragraph. Just FYI, if you're considering approaching them, they take 50% of all sales, use strict artist revenue policies and evidently only support well known artists. The thing that hurts the most is that the selection committee is allegedly made up of other artists. I'm just going to regard this as fuel to make immense progress and totally circumnavigate their arrogant little turn-key machine all together.

Maybe applying anatomy to photographs of people? Or reproducing muscle groups and stuff like that without reference?

Not sure I know any other ways to practice it, aside from just trying remember to think about each brush stroke you make, and how it's improving what your working on.

I've seen people do Sargent and Jaime Jones studies for improving brush stroke economy
