Reilly Method and Advanced Fundamentals with Jeff Watts - Draftsmen S4E03

Jeff Watts is the founder of the Watts Atelier and my art instructor. I recently got to invite him into the Proko studio to film a special Draftsmen podcast where we discuss his own artistic journey, the elusive Reilly method, and more. If you want to learn more about the Reilly Method, check out Jeff’s new course on Proko. You’ll learn the academic approach which emphasizes the use of rhythm, abstraction, and geometric shapes to accurately depict the human form - https://www.proko.com/watts CHAPTERS: 00:00 - Intro 03:16 - Reilly Method 05:51 - What is Rhythm in Line Art? 13:58 - Rhythm vs Gesture 16:54 - Abstraction 18:50 - Thinking vs Feeling 22:45 - Teaching Fundamentals 28:07 - Self Discovery Through Art 30:40 - Art as a Kid 37:29 - Purpose for Creating 49:42 - Maintaining Skills 56:17 - Using Reilly Rhythms for Imagination 01:02:55 - The Future of Art Education 01:06:45 - Value of Traditional Art in AI World 01:25:59 - 1000 Monkeys Jeff Watts episode of Drawing Basics (coming soon!) https://www.proko.com/drawing Reilly Method class - https://www.proko.com/watts Watts Atelier - https://www.wattsatelier.com Caricature Course by Court Jones - https://www.proko.com/caricature Brian Knox - https://www.instagram.com/brianknoxart/ Erik Gist - https://www.erikgist.com/ Loomis head - https://youtu.be/1EPNYWeEf1U View Artwork Mentioned in Episode - https://www.proko.com/731 “Draftsmen” is available in audio.
