For what it’s worth I have a dozen people ask me about apprenticeships every week. First, have as many drawings as you can fit in a 3″ Three ring binder. Use tabs in the binder to separate realist, tribal, portraits, traditional, etc. You should approach the subject by talking with the artist and possibly having work done by the artist. Walking in and saying, “I want to apprentice with you” normally gets a bad response. Develop a relationship with an artist, you’ll be playing maid servant for years to this person, it would be in your best interest to find out if you can tolerate their personality before committing to them. Once you’ve developed the relationship, ask them to critique your work. If they like your work, the rest should be relatively easy. Once you have your apprenticeship, then work hard, ask questions, try to think two steps ahead and draw, draw, draw. Good Luck.
