What are you talking about, even those videos that got leaked provide many insights from Weston. He manage to make it very dense and full of information, shortcuts and very useful tips in only a couple of hours. I can only imagine what would be if he made a full course without having to rush things down. I saw him as a very no bullshit teacher, he showed you exactly what you needed to do instead of beating around the bush showing useless stuff. Everything he showed and spoke in that lecture is gold and straight to the point. Other instructors have shown similar stuff? Yes, but full of mystical, enigmatic and obscure stuff, Weston went straight to the point and dismistified it giving you exactly what you needed. OP is just too dumb to understand how much information is contained in those videos.

All those video courses, books and things like that that claim will give you insight and knowledge about how to draw are only showing you HALF, if that much, of the things that you actually need. It is hypocrasy at its finest; people who already have all the background necessary and know what they are doing teaching you half assed methods instead of showing you the same things they learned that enabled them to get to the level they are right now. Like some guy above said, it is only after you, god knows how and god knows after how many years, manage to learn a few things here and there, that you can comeback and see where all those tutorials are comming from and can put all the pieces of that ''knowledge" into work.

>that is what fundamentals are for
>you are retarded

How many tutorials, books, videos have you seen where those masters teach you, per example, how to make a correct ellipse but when you actually find out the whole process you will think to yourself ''if only he had show me all this before....'', hell even how to make a proper cube in perspective. How many books, videos, tutorials, per example, have you seem that explained to you something as basics as tangents when drawing, then your composition is all sorts of fucked up and you have no idea why. Comming here asking why will get you a ''loomis'' response. You can clearly see people like Huston, Vilppu, Gnass to name a few teaching you something but already putting layers uppon layers of things into it that if you have no idea it will look very simple but when you try to do it the results are very much different.. I wonder why. Then they will say things like ''just feel it''.

The thing is that all those masters were in a time where paper was not as available as it is today and certainly not as cheap so even though some of them were sponsored they still must have had much less available paper (and other materials as well) to practice but still got better results much faster. They also did not have as much resources as we do today and still got from being ngmi to a level not a single one of us will achieve in our lifetimes in, again, a much shorter time. How come? What is the secret?
