$3/moCoins in the HatMany of my Patreon posts will be free and open to all, and my paid tiers are targeted specifically toward artists. This tier is for anyone who wants to just show general support for the Handdrawn MFA Project, and help me fund my own progress. My gratitude is yours!
$5/moBook & Supply ReviewsAt the Thumbnail Sketches level, you'll be able to access my reviews of art supplies and books, to help you make informed decisions about what to buy. These will be non-sponsored reviews, funded by your patronage, allowing me to give you true and unreserved reviews.
You can expect at least two reviews per month, one for supplies and one for books.
The art supplies will follow my own course plan (in that they will start with drawing supplies such as charcoal and conte crayon before moving onto various watercolor or oil paints, etc.) and will cover a wide range of materials over time.
The book reviews will also follow the course plan loosely, but will also include books in the fields of creativity, philosophy, poetry, writing, storytelling, film and animation, and so forth - in other words, anything that may help us create a more robust education for ourselves.
Please know you don't have to sign up at a tier level to pledge support; you can pledge in any dollar amount, from $1 up! But if you'd like access to patron only posts, please pledge at the level that best suits your needs. Each tier includes all the benefits of the tiers below it.
$10/moArt School & Course ReviewsI hope this level will really help you save time AND money in the long run! There are dozens of online art schools, and even more online art classes available for the aspiring artist or illustrator, and the costs - and time spent checking them out - can add up quickly. To help you narrow it down, I will give you ongoing detailed reviews of various online schools and courses, to help you decide how *you'd* like to focus your own time and money.
This tier will include *at least* one honest, non-sponsored review per month, with a focus on foundational skills, painting, illustration, storytelling, and more. These reviews will be sponsored by your patronage, and will include many of the most popular art instruction sites available today.
Please know you don't have to sign up at a tier level to pledge support; you can pledge in any dollar amount, from $1 up! But if you'd like access to patron only posts, please pledge at the level that best suits your needs. Each tier includes all the benefits of the tiers below it.
