One thing I'll be trying to do is bridge the inferential gap here, in this sequence. Afterwards you'll still need good instruction, but hopefully you'll be able to mentally translate between what your teacher says and what you need to hear.

Compared to signing up for a course, how much would I lose by using a book such as Drawing on the right side of the brain or Thinking with a pencil and getting critical input from a friend who is a comic book artist but lacks any education in teaching? Is drawing a field that requires mentorship or can a motivated student get by with a textbook and occasional pointed advice?
