Scott Eaton Studios: which class to take?

Waterbear · Oct 2014

The classes on this site were recommended to me: http://www.scott-eaton.com/

He offers 2 classes that I would be interested in.

and

http://www.scott-eaton.com/digital-figure-sculpture

1) Has anyone taken these courses?
2) Would you recommend one over the other.
3) Did you do full or standard enrollment? Pros and cons of that?

***I do more 3D work than 2D but knowing anatomy better is just a good idea, so I'm not sure which is better suited for me.

Thanks!

I took only the sculpture course. It includes tons of anatomy instruction as well. You won't feel lost at all even if you have little anatomy knowledge. The more anatomy you initially know, the better use of the course you can make though.

If you can afford, definitely go for full enrollment. The only difference is video reviews of your work which is a huge help. He opens your sculpt on his computer and shows your mistakes or areas that need improvement by quickly fixing/improving them.

In addition to these, he's one of the best instructors I've taken a course from. His level of knowledge, the way this knowledge is conveyed and his overall attitude are great.

Anatomy for artists first. Sculpture one after.

Did you do the full or standard enrollment ?

JacqueChoi · Oct 2014

Full.

Full enrollment is only worth it if you put in a TON of effort into the homework assignment, and possibly get feedback from him including the corrections.

If I do it, I'll be putting a ton of effort in no doubt. I've always been hard core about any classes I'm taking. Good to know since its about double the price and for that I want my moneys worth.

About how many hours a week did you spend? 10? 20?

I took the digital sculpture one but just after that I realized I should have taken the anatomy first as JacqueChoi is recommending.

It was difficult and a lot of work but he is an amazing artist and brilliant teacher. His class is the best class I have ever taken in any subject. Well worth the money- I did not do the full enrollment as I was short on cash but you still get to see the critiques he gives to other members.

Good to know! Anatomy then sculpture seems like a good way to approach it.

If I can afford only one full enrollment and one standard enrollment, any opinions as to which one is better with the full enrollment.
