>>4449873>>4450020I think the half-truth is that any artists doing successful imaginative illustration (which is what I'm assuming your aiming for, since you're deriding Watts) simply does not have the time to make a course of such a grand scale.
Artists like that are too preoccupied with their work, experimenting and developing their methods and working on their own IP/projects in general. They will on occasion make a couple of courses focusing on one or two concepts, but a course with a grand scale of zero to master will simply not happen because they will neither have the time nor mental budget nor experience to make anything of that scale.
A course that can micromanage every little thing that you should learn and handhold you tight from zero to master can only be made by an artist that is passionate enough to spend time teaching 95% of the time. But what do you become when all you do is teach 95% of the time? You become just that: an art teacher, and a damn good one probably, but not a superstar artist with that can produce mindblowing works from imagination and a creator of well-known IPs.
These kind of courses cannot be made by someone like Frank Frazetta or Kim Jung Gi.
That's why you really don't have much choice but jump from teachers to teachers, because the kind of supergenius that can teach you everything is simply fictional.
