			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Caricature Secrets has been taken off the market, and I just want to give a quick update to anyone who ordered the course.</p>
<p>When I started this whole thing I was pretty worried about how much extra work this whole sale process would be.  I&#8217;ve never created any kind of CD course for purchase before, and there has been some issues getting the people the course as quickly as possible.  I had planned for the course to take up to 3 weeks to be delivered, so in most cases we should hit that mark, but there are a few people overseas I know who are going to have to wait an extra week.</p>
<p>I was absolutely stunned with how many orders came in to this course, but the downside of that is that it was just so much work dealing with all those orders and I wasn&#8217;t able to get the courses in the mail as quickly as I would have liked.   So, I just wanted to ask you to please bear with me here while I get all of the orders out the door.</p>
<p>Although I&#8217;d like to think I&#8217;m Superman, really I&#8217;m just one guy trying to help the world enjoy art a little bit more, and I&#8217;m doing the best I can to get you your course as soon as humanly possible.</p>
<p>Anyone who has ordered on <strong>June 29th or 30th &#8211; your course is in the mail today.</strong></p>
<p>All other orders <strong>will be processed today and in the mail tomorrow.</strong></p>
<p>Thanks for your support and patience.</p>
<p>Mitch</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A lot of you have been commenting and sending me e-mails asking what the price of the course is going to be and while I can tell you that is has an unbeatable price with <em>more value packed into it than anything else you&#8217;ve ever seen online (or offline for that matter!)</em> I&#8217;m going to make you wait one more day and see the final price on the sales page with all the info when the course officially goes live at 6PM Pacific tomorrow.  <em>Sorry – I just don’t want to ruin the surprise!</em></p>
<p>I will however tell you a bit more about what&#8217;s included in the course because <strong>there is one special bonus that is only going to be available to the first 100 buyers of the course</strong>, so if you want it, you’re going to have to be quick…</p>
<p>Because this bonus involves personal training from me I have to limit the total number of people that will get this particular bonus. Even though I can’t help absolutely everyone I thought it was a good way to let those people who need a little bit of extra assistance get some personal coaching at no extra cost to them.  Once the first 100 copies are sold I will be removing this bonus from the course.</p>
<p>More information about this bonus click on the image below to check a quick video that I may show you exactly what you&#8217;re going to get if you&#8217;re one of the lucky 100 to get the personal training bonus. <strong>There&#8217;s also some very useful tips in the second part of the video that you won&#8217;t want to miss</strong>.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.caricaturesecrets.com/bonus01"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; border: 0px initial initial;" src="http://www.caricaturesecrets.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/paintover_01.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="378" /></a></p>
<h2>COURSE UPDATE:</h2>
<p>We&#8217;re only about 24 hours countdown from the course going live for sale and I can literally feel the clock ticking over my head as I&#8217;m wrapping up a lot of little details to make sure everything goes as smooth as possible.</p>
<p>Just one last reminder that I am only going to be selling 300 copies total of the course at this low, low price and the course is going to be on sale for just two weeks before I pull it off the market so that I can take a breather from being your Drawing Coach and focus on enjoying the summer and my regular 9-5 job.</p>
<p>Tomorrow is going to be a busy day to be sure!  <strong>Set your watches for 6pm Pacific.</strong></p>
<p>Cheers!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.caricaturesecrets.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/features_01.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="339" /></p>
<p>You probably never heard someone say to you that you&#8217;re making life hard on yourself with the way that you&#8217;re drawing, but there is actually a lot of truth in that statement and it applies to so many people that are struggling with drawing the face. So what can you do about that?</p>
<p>The answer is that you can do things smarter and take the easy way by simplifying the features that you want to draw. This applies to absolutely everything involved with the face: eyes, nose, ears, hair, mouth it&#8217;s all the same &#8212; there is an easier way to draw all of these.</p>
<p>This way of thinking is not really unique as it applies to all aspects of life matter what you would like to do. There&#8217;s really an easy and the hard way with everything, unfortunately most of us are led to believe that the only way to become successful at anything is through a time of hard work and putting in time, but to me that doesn&#8217;t sound very smart at all and am always looking for a way to simplify everything in my life.</p>
<p>You can also take the easy road when it comes to learning how to draw the features of the face.  Instead of punishing yourself or try to draw everything perfect, why not look at what you&#8217;re trying to draw and then ask yourself this question:</p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><em>What is the very simplest way<br />
that I can draw this part of the face?</em></h3>
<p>Let me explain a little bit about what I mean without question. When I say &#8220;simplest way&#8221; I really mean what is the absolute bare minimum amount of pencil strokes that you can put on the page that will give you a representation of whatever you&#8217;re trying to draw and still have it look like that object or feature of the face.</p>
<p>Once you determine how to draw the feature in its most simple terms will help unlock an amazing potential in yourself. Your drawings look better because they are easier, we&#8217;ll have more confidence because you&#8217;ll know exactly what to draw because you won&#8217;t be concerned with all the fine little details, your skills will improve more quickly because you&#8217;ll enjoy drawing a lot more, you&#8217;ll become increasingly familiar with the face in a very short amount of time because you&#8217;re just focusing on the basics and this will give you a chance to train your eye to notice some of the more important elements of the face like establishing personality and drawing expressions and likeness.</p>
<p>You&#8217;re an artist, and I know that words can only go so far, so please take a look at the three features below and see how I have simplify each of them into the most basic parts.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.caricaturesecrets.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/features_02.jpg" alt="" width="363" height="278" /></p>
<p>Don&#8217;t feel bad if you&#8217;ve never drawn the features of the face this way. Most of the drawing books and teaching materials out there really gloss over this simple yet extremely important idea of simplifying things first to build confidence. With confidence comes enjoyment and would enjoyment comes experience and experience comes mastery &#8212; this is the way to become successful at anything.</p>
<h1>Announcement:</h1>
<p>As many of you already know,<strong> the course is going live on Moday at 6pm Pacific time</strong>.  If you&#8217;re on the East Coast &#8211; that&#8217;s 9PM Eastern.  The course is generating a lot of buzz lately, and <strong>my email box has been getting flooded the last few days</strong> since I realeased the sneak peak and photo of the course.  Thanks to everyone that has emailed with kind remarks!</p>
<p>While all the attention is great, it&#8217;s also making me a little nervous.  I&#8217;m just a one man operation, and I want to make sure that I can handle all of the orders in a timely fashion and address any problems that may arise during the sale.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s because of this that <strong>I&#8217;m going to limit this sale to just 300 copies of the course over the a period of 2 weeks</strong>.  Once all of the copies are sold or the 2 weeks is up I will be taking the course off the market.</p>
<p><strong>There&#8217;s one other HUGE reason that I need to keep things limited</strong>, and I&#8217;ll fill you in on that in a future post.  To give you a hint &#8211; for those people who are first in line (like the people on the mailing list below) there&#8217;s going to be a chance to get some real hands on personalized training from me.</p>
<p>Best wishes for your Artistic Success!</p>
<p>Mitch<br />
