So all you have to do is copy Loomis then copy Bridgman twice, and you'll go from /beg/ to /int/? If it's that easy, why doesn't everyone do it?

dont you get bored of these threads? its a saturday
>>7239257>If it's that easy, why doesn't everyone do it?Because it's not easy
>>7239257Will this book help me learn how to be more creative? I've noticed I have some imagination, but it's still too low.
>>7239257>If it's that easy, why doesn't everyone do it?Do it, and then tell us if it's easy.
>>7239307If you want a book specifically about creative thinking being creative, try Dobson's Keys to Drawing with Imagination.It's just a bunch of simple drawing exercises, but they should get the creative juices pumping.I'm sure there are better books for this though, but I can't think of any specifically about this, off the top of my head anyway.
>>7239257Has anyone ACTUALLY done this though? I've seen it meme'd on here before, but who's actually done this from beginning to end and come back with results?
Don't fall for it
>>7239257>copy loomisWho said this?
>>7239307there's lots of ways to test your creativity follow a prompt, maybe from a prompt generator evendo drawing requests on the draw threads (you dont need to post them if you dont like them)make a stain or simple shape and draw something in it find two references and try to combine themfind an interior photo and draw characters in it
I'm currently trying to copy loomis. I did this page and just broadly try to read through and understand what he's trying to say. I've done a few Bridgeman copies months ago but never finished. I'm just gonna try to go through loomis very casually alongside my other studies. Pic related. How I mentally try to go about it is just trying to absorb the information and trust my brain to do the work.
i can only get as far as the front cover
>>7239257I have adhd
>>7239307it teaches technical stuff. creativity is something you have to get by yourself.
Copying books will not bring you from /beg/ to /int/. Copying books AND THEN drawing from LIFE after a few years will bring you to /int/.
develop a facility with basic shapes, and proportions, cogitating on the concepts presented in the books, experimenting with them until they are understood and absorbed, and drawing from imagination with a very gradual curve of difficulty, will take you into /int/land
>>7239257>easy
>>7241311just draw bridgman twice. if life was so good we would experience it instead of creating better experiences
>>7241352>just draw bridgman twiceIs this the new hot meme
>>7239257if you do that, you'll end up like proko. Good at drafting and copying, but can't draw to save his life!
>>7241311Wouldn't master copies be better for people, i.e 99.9% of the board, who want to do stylized art?
>>7241475Matser studies work best when you have fundamentals. Loomis and Bridgman give you some. Copying from drawings as your only source will get you nowhere if you don't use your brain to make your own shit the whole time though.
only Bridgman.
1: because most people here are losers like you who'd rather post than actually draw2: just copying will not help you. You also need to learn to actually apply it.
>>7239257Draw every Briggers image 4 times. 2 from ref 2 from memory, Howie-kun
