My Teacher, Karl Gnass

My current art teacher is Karl Gnass.



Karl teaches professionals how to get better at Disney, Dreamworks and Sony. He also teaches his students that no matter how far along they might think they are, there's farther yet to go.



You know, the words "genius" and "master" get tossed around quite a bit. I don't know how Karl would feel about this, but I think he's the closest thing I've ever met.



He'll talk about things most art teachers don't talk about -- like how every sketch or pose tells a story.

Now that's novel.

That's Karl.

Check out his site and his book, THE SPIRIT OF THE POSE.

He keeps promising a couple more volumes.

Let's get on that, Gnass.
