Not a question, just a comment

posted to: Detailing the Eyes

Kent, not really a question... but your attention to detail reminds me of boot camp... Kind of how I think about following your courses... Boot Camp 2.0 for me, if that makes sense.  More than anything, I notice how you pay attention to details that the other 99% of us would never notice. Then you know how to manipulate the tools at your disposal and achieve those details in a simple and efficient manner.... You make it look so simple, but I realize the ridiculous amount of work under the hood to make something like this seem so smooth. Just saying, A+ course, as always! I'm at 11:59 in the video... that side by side snagged my attention and showed me my sculpture continued a subpar caruncle... Just saying, you have a great eye for detail and we're learning a lot from you.

    My goodness. This might be....the single most meaningful feedback I've ever received as an instructor. Truly I'm so grateful for you saying this 🙏

    Do you mean military bootcamp?

    Yes, spent 10 yrs in the Navy, went to Boot Camp when I was 17... Got out around 2016... The analogy there really holds up for me. They start conditioning you to pay attention to detail to an extreme degree in Boot Camp, then I've sort of lost that mindset in the civilian world. Seeing how you're methodically picking out every little detail and helping us learn to see that stuff and replicate it, it's really helpful and impressive! Definitely reminds me of that sort of thinking... No single detail matters that much, but a consistent dedication to the details means everything, if that makes sense. You have an amazing eye for the smallest details, and you explain your thinking and methods very clearly. Very easy to follow along with. 

    I'm learning a ton through "Human." Finishing up a 12-14 hour shift at my "day job" right now and itching to get home and spend an hour or two on the next few lessons!
