I used NMA before, it was pretty good lots of good stuff there. never done schoolism though.

I've tried both, strongly recommend NMA, Their stuff is just a lot more in depth and the teachers are better. This was before the Craig Mullins course on Schoolism though so I can't speak to that.

hmm thank, any course in there you recommend for beginner?

While I'm still butthurt that they did my boy Sheldon Borenstein dirty I definitely enjoy NMA. They have little by way of "style" content though-it is as it appears: "Academic", with lectures focusing primarily on fundamentals. Perspective, anatomy, drapery, color theory, even art history (seeing Carl Gnass talk about abstract art and anime was kind of interesting but ultimately useless) etc.

Schoolism on the other hand seems to be the opposite, with lectures focusing on cartooning and the like almost exclusively. I haven't tried it but I'm strongly considering a yearly subscription some time in the very near future.

There's also the world famous Proko® and his kangaroo, who despite his faults has great content on anatomy and the absolute best anatomical 3D models available.

Personally I wouldn't be too "tight fisted" with your money when it comes to this stuff, there's no reason you can't try both. Art school has traditionally been extremely expensive and many of these online alternatives appear to be well worth the meager cost of admission.

nma = too many cooks but the right recipe
schoolism = the right recipe but not the right cooks

What happened to Sheldon? I just checked and he's been scrubbed from the site.

sort of an interesting piece eh, like clearly as the viewer you're supposed to wantubang but at the same time they made the girl unhappy and the senate ugly, so is the painting cruel or is her being unhappy only to show that she's modest, so pure in mind as well as body, and only a way to increase her sexiness.

NMA is great if you’re a traditional artist or want to learn gesture and figure drawing. Schoolism is better for digital stuff, although they have some good gouache and watercolor courses too

I have no clue, I enjoyed his stuff quite a bit even if he hammed it up a little too much at times. I messaged both NMA and Sheldon himself and wasn't given any specifics-which I suppose are granted on a "need-to-know" basis.

In the end it just makes me wonder what their business model is and how precarious their relationship might be with their other artists though. From the beginning I assumed the artists are paid upfront with some kind of exclusivity and ownership granted to the site, but the fact Sheldon could just walk away like that or rather be forced out along with his content removed in either case implies otherwise.

Even if they had some major falling out NMA had to have spent a lot of money editing and annotating Sheldon's dozens of videos, the idea they'd give them up without some kind of fight is strange to me, but that's inconsequential at this point.

NMA was worth it for the Olson Perspective series alone, shit is fucking god tier.
