Do you agree with this advice for drawfags?>If you're a beginner then draw from reference and trace>stop tracing till you can draw from reference and then stop that too when you can visualize positions and expressions in your mind.>If you're a beginner and keep referencing and tracing your own art then you'll never learn, it will become just like AI: redundant and samey. You'll only know 1 style which makes you a one trick pony. Trying to art without references and without learning how to lineart is like trying to do math without formulas and without learning your multiplication tables.>Same learning method can be applied to writefags. Start by editing and following a guideline till you no longer need training wheels.>Most 2010s artists and writefags lack a mentor or a belt on the ass telling them to git gud and stop repeating the same mistakes like stubborn mental asylum rejects.
>>151014760The problem true beginners have is working inconsistency. The best approach is to start with whatever keeps you making shit until your intrinsic motivation commits to the grind. After that you can seek feedback and focus your routine study on whatever you need to become strong at to achieve your goals.
>>151014760>if youre a beginner use referencesLeonardo DaVinci used references his entire career.
>>151014855I've seen people arting for 3 years straight, making art every 2 days, even using references, but they absolutely fucking refuse to git gud, they are incapable of learning. You have to grab their hands and make them draw correctly because they've learned to draw incorrectly, at that point they have to trace till they learn how to draw properly.
Bump for interest. I can draw better than most fags in their 20s because I bothered learning how to draw since the age of 4.
>>151014760you want drawfags to be nortubel fans?
Ah, Ive been posting art here and other boards cause I wanted feedback to improve but I see that really only people could say is "learn fundamentals I guess". Im more shocked that the internet hate machine hasn't really been mean to my "art"
>>151017651It hasn't been the internet hate machine in ages and when you do ask for the "critics" to motivate their hate they end up saying literally nothing because everyone here is an autistic ESL or brown gen-Zer who can't communicate if their job was on the line. Instead it has been the "Disinterested" introvert machine for ages. You ask any board something and they don't reply or reply in that literal "lol fuck off fag haha your mom sucked my dick" slang like some actual bots who can't understand what you asked them. AND AT BEST they pretend they know what the shit they're saying like ChatGPT.And the few 1% who know what they're talking about are either long gone, only in very specific threads/boards or long gone.Both autists and boomers cannot give you advice because autists don't know and boomers assume you're not an autistic retard who can't learn.
>>151017651You might have better luck on the /trash/ /dig/ threads maybe.
>>151017712>It hasn't been the internet hate machine in agesI know.. but this place will always be my little internet hate machine...(I think it was tumblr than twitter)But what if I'm an autistic retard who WANTS to learn?
My only motivation to draw is a show that a janny keeps banning discussion of because he has a chip on his shoulder.
>>151018341>Reasons anons want to draw
>>151018565based
>>151018565I love the show. It's just that I am partially inspired by the discussions. Plus drawing is so damn hard for me that I want to show people what I did afterwards.
>>151018757>I want to show people what I did afterwardsI feel you there, it's almost become part of the process for me. Even if no one comments on my shitty art posts there's still something super satisfying about itAlso it's so goddamn sad what happened to the Simpsons, it started out super stylized and had all the life drained outta it
>>151019008I am currently watching Transformers Animated and I am surprised by how animated it is. Cartoons have been stiff for so many years that I started perceiving them as normal. 2D animation rigs should be outlawed.
>>151018565heh
