Well, this has been an interesting debate to follow. I appreciate everyone’s candidness in response to my question!

I had a feeling at least one person would take it in that direction…

intimate 1 |ˈintəmit|
adjective

3. (of knowledge) detailed; thorough : an intimate knowledge of the software.

Since this thread has been picked up again, I thought I would let y’all know what I decided:

I DID end up taking Mike’s course and found it to be well worth it. He urges his students to sketch daily, just as many have suggested, but he also imparts great tricks, tips and wisdom that helped my skills jump forward immensely. Starting the fall semester with these new skills has been great and it’s fun to really see all that I learned as I move through my studio projects.

I have appreciated everyone’s input on this matter and to each their own. I for one, am glad that I spent the time and money by investing in Mike’s workshop. I feel it was an investment in my future that I am already seeing the returns on.

Thanks!!

That’s the thing, I want to be able to quickly communicate an idea. Right now when I have a thought or design idea, I write it down…not very effective. It helps me remember, but does nothing for illustrating an idea. Thanks for you thoughts (everyone!).

Wow everyone, thanks so much for your input!!! This was my first post so I wasn’t sure what to expect…

There are definitely varied opinions on the matter and I think I’ll just have to think on it some more. Even if hand graphics are old school, I’d still love to have that skill so no matter what, I’m going to give it more time and energy whether it’s Mike Lin, the webinar on Land 8, or otherwise.

Thanks again!!!

Thanks Lee. It seems clear that it would be beneficial, but it comes down to whether or not I feel like putting up the $$ right now…. we’ll see what happens!

P.S. I see you’re in Fort Fun?? I grew up there and will quite likely end up there again. How’s the job market for LA’s???
