DrawingTutorialsOnline is a new online art education membership website and community launched last month by Matthew Archambault.  As one of the first members of the site, I feel that it is about time to give a review. First off, Matthew is an art instructor at the School of Visual Arts in Manhattan New York, and he is also an illustrator.  He is a great artist, and my first introduction to his work was through his youtube tutorials and his first website, MattsIllustrations.com.  I eventually bought several of his figure drawing dvds and really enjoyed them.

DrawingTutorialsOnline Features:

As of September 3, 2008

* There are 2 DrawingTutorialsOnline membership levels:

(1) $7.95/month - Access to everything on the website with the exception of the “Online DVD” department.

(2) $15.95/month - Access to everything on the website including the “Online DVD” department. Access every DVD ever created by Matthew Archambault.

* Member Forum where you can talk to other members and ask Matt questions directly and request tutorial topics.

* Resources - The site has a lot of reference photos to draw and more reference material is being added all the time.

My Experience

As I said before, I’ve been a member since the site launched in August.  Before I signed up, I knew that Matt was a great artist, but I’ve never been a member of an drawing site and didn’t quite know how it was going to work.  The low cost of membership made trying it out an easy decision.  I was not disappointed, the material and interaction with Matt is fantastic.  It’s been a month, and I haven’t even scratched the surface of reviewing all the material available on the site and more is being added every week.  I can’t believe that the cost of membership is so low and the quality of the video and learning materials is so high.  I recommended getting the membership that includes the online dvd content.  I have several of his dvds but not all of them, so having access to them is a nice extra.  In my search for online art education options, DrawingTutorialsOnline was definitely a great find.
