I was thinking the other day how cool it would be if professional artists (concept, comic book, etc) had 1-on-1 "coaching" for those of us who are not newbies, but also not in the big leagues. For instance, if I could speak on the phone with Feng Zhu for 30 minutes, with a piece of my work in front of him, and just let him talk to me about my process and how to improve overall...
It seems that we have so many materials available to us in book format, with limited DVD (or other similar media) available -- but hardly any personal attention unless you're in an industry or get in line at a convention (and even then your time with them is sooo brief). Attention at a school/university can also be sporadic, assuming the professionals you really want to speak with teach there, and when you graduate it can be a hassle to obtain critique from them.
Overall, I wanted to know if others had similar thoughts like this and also wanted to know how many of you have made the effort to get feedback from those who designed the posters on your wall. Do you think receiving feedback from those artists would be "better" or more useful than that of this forum?
