I made my biggest progress in art when I started drawing less, and spending more time watching art videos, reading art books and browsing twitter art. Do 20 minutes of intense, focused drawing, then do 40 minutes of theory.
bold claim. post your progress. go ahead, let's see it.
pyw then

>>7153366Give me something to draw
>>7153552>I made more progress!>hasn't drawn anything yet
>>7153552the human figure
Shit advice. A time goal without a concrete, content based goal will always lead to inconsistent results, if any. "40 minutes of theory" says nothing.10 mins of theory can easily translate into days or weeks of training, depending on how condensed the knowledge is.Sage and hide.
>>7153552Draw this
>>7153552>>7153363Would be really awesome if we can see your work. I will give honest assessment if you show use something. I kinda have similar theory, I stopped grinding too much and spent more time in observation and theory.
>>7153552why don't you post your before and after your big revelation
>9 hours passed>nothing postedalright
>>7153363>I made my biggest progress in art when I started drawing less, and spending more time watching art videos and reading art books.I'm gonna be honest with you guys but it's the same for me, when I just draw I do improve a bit but I'm essentially reinventing the wheel when I could skip hundreds of years of learning by doing just reading about perspective.
Based.I to am a retard who learns very little by drawing a lot, and who gets the most information out of it being explicitly verbalized by someone.That said, drawing a lot is still important so you can observe the theory stuff in practice and that helps you to fixate.But if I haven't been exposed to the information before, then drawing will do me zero favors in learning it.
praxis > active listening/learning > mindless repetition > doing nothing
>>7153363heres proof guys can make it too
>>7153363Beautiful crabbing, well done my friend.
what do people have a problem with? learning theory and then applying it is a solid strat. the ratio should depends on how much theory you already know but can't execute on yet.

>>7153942nobody likes copying the same 200 exercises from boomer books that "get you better at observation"
looks like op is spreading false information
