Like your contribution could be to make hard concepts easier to understand, or be a unique take on it, and that's fine. But it has to be something.

OtherMuzz

but my point is, if you aren't trying to advance the field of education with first source style materials, then you are just having a jerk off.

28 Jun 18:40

@Muzz You mean, the internet? :P

28 Jun 18:39

John

Or the lack of it anyway

28 Jun 18:39

John

Haha! Muzz is just expressing his eternal fixation on his love for Christopher Hart.

You are a beginner BECAUSE you can't perceive the differences yet.

28 Jun 18:39

And you are far less likely to go badly wrong buying vid tutorials than going to some art schools.

28 Jun 18:39

OtherMuzz

i don't begrudge them for doing it, but it's just more crap for the pile.

28 Jun 18:39

Mechanizoid

Also, it is an open market. It's up the buyer to discriminate between resources. Caveat Emptor and all that.

28 Jun 18:38

Amit Dutta

Ofc not everyone can do it well

28 Jun 18:38

Amit Dutta

Meh, I don't begrudge artists trying to make money from producing educational resources.

28 Jun 18:38

Mechanizoid

Well then you can't accuse Uncomfortable of narcissism, he charges nothing for all his lessons.

28 Jun 18:37

OtherMuzz

If you have an anatomy tutorial out there and you objectively know it's worse than other materials at the same price poiunt, then i see it as just silly and narcissistic to release it.

28 Jun 18:37

John

Proko. That sexy black shirt wearing bastard...

28 Jun 18:37

OtherMuzz

--

My thoughts on releasing training material, if you do it you should be aiming to either one up the other training material out there, or don't do it. Like throw something actually of quality on the pile

28 Jun 18:36

Amit Dutta

Wasn't pleasant

No thing with Proko. Just made a comment about his free perspective resources being rubbish...by which I meant very light on content, and I got anally raped and lynched in this shoutbox...
