https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMLEudGbxQkHow is it humanly possible to improve this quickly? I'm 3 months into learning to draw and I can't draw as well as Pewdiepie's day 1 and 2 heads.
post said 3 months drawing
>>7346390well actually putting effort helps
Since that Pewdiepie videos, there are many youtube people that started drawing with their literal first drawings is shown. These are random people that uploaded their journey for this month. I picked them because they seem to actually just started but their difference is they are working towards a goal.Establishing a goal is more important than all the drawing manuals or drawing course video you pirated.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hieMZ1AFWRIhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLcAuRQb610ConceptArt.org used to have the same shit too, but it's down for a decade now. It's fine
>REEEEE WHY ISN'T HE DRAWING 500 BOXES
imma post my shit
are you fucking serious? You mean you can really get amazing just by copying a bunch of anime heads every day? That's all I had to do? I've been suffering through drawabox and Drawing on the right side of the brain and other boring ass "fundamental" books thinking that was the "right" way to go about learning.
ROFLMAOCOPTER
>>7346390Damn he draws better than /asg/
Have talent. You can find people who've been drawing for years without improvement.
>>7346402I swear this shit looks better irl, but anyway
>>7346411I don't know how consistent you've been in your practice or what have you, but proud of you for sticking with it anon. Keep it up fag. I want you to royally mog us this same time next year.
>>7346419>observation takes a month at most to get reasonably good at itMe at 15+ years in and still struggling to sketch a halfway decent portrait kek
>>7346390He stopped posting drawing videos already it was just a phase
>>7346446Maybe he's still drawing and just not posting, but simply drawing for the sake of improving probably won't work out in the long term, especially when you hit those inevitable plateaus which can last months or longer. Trying to improve for some specific purpose, like finally committing your grand ideas to paper or even something as basic as selling more commissions, is helpful for keeping people motivated through plateaus. I got the feeling Pewdiepie wanted to improve just to see if he could, as a challenge to himself, not because he wanted to draw his own manga or make teenage girls squee over his kawaiidesu anime girls.
>>7346449Eh. I think he's made it his hobby to pick up hobbies because he has that luxury. It's a rich person thing. I mean he recently tried learning slinky for 2 months or something. I don't doubt he draws, but i don't think its his goto for when he's bored or has a creative itch.
>>7346419this, but more like a week. I spent 10 years in /beg/, then the moment I got some actual formal art training, I became a pro within the span of days
>>7346406you're learning to learn to draw, don't do that do the real thing. if you want to do anime only draw anime. playing baseball to get better at basketball won't help it can actually make your basketball skills worse.
>>7346517Retard
>>7346390He's copying nonstop, which is how people used to learn back then. It's baffling how some look down on it and keep repeating the same "muh fundies" mantra as if it was a fucking religion.>Hey, I wanna draw anime how do I start?>uuuhhmmm sweaty study Michael Hampton first OK
>>7346652This, but westoids gonna westoid.
>>7346446Nah, he said in the comments he’s inspired to draw more. He’s rich enough to hire a tutor and get good fast.
Here you go.
>>7346390it all depends on your iq
>>7346390very normal adult art prog. people see stuff like this and overestimate how impressive it is. yes, you too can draw a reference accurately extremely small after a month of practice
>>7346874>sees man drawing cute anime girls>HEH HE TOTALLY WANTS TO FUCK LOLIS LIKE I DO
>>7346891Lol. Their comment does really seem out of pocket doesn't it.
>gamer so brain functions are relatively more flexible>had prior drawing experience albeit small>didn't draw anything original, just copied AI generated anime heads>economically and socially well-offThese are the factors you didn't take into account OP.
>>7346390he has the time and money to happily grind out anime heads. Not to mention a loving family and millions of fans supporting him every step of the way.We have nothing. Actually we have less than nothing. A lot of us have to keep art a secret from our unsupportive and toxic families, and we have no friends to help us. All we have is 4chan (the worst congregation of human discourse in history) to shit on us and crab us. I would be pro in a MONTH if I had millions of dollars and a beautiful wife motivating me.
>>7347018No you wouldn't
>>7346390seems normalhe said he's using references and copying, it's not from imagination
How is this impressive? He’s just copying Japanese cartoons. It’s not drawing and it’s not art. You can easily do this by simply also copying Japanese cartoons, OP.
>>7347187Isn't copying their master's sketches and drawings how the old greats like Da Vinci, Michelangelo, etc learned to draw?
>>7347191As children yes. Then they move on to life drawing (a more complex skill) If children can do it so can you.
>>7347187he's not just copying, like the coping retards in the thread believehell, he's even making his own refs to inform his drawings; which puts him above most of the posters of this board
>>7347247>34 repliesYou /beg/ idiots are impressed by these /beg/ doodles? The absolute state of this board holy shit.
>>7346390Because he is consistent and goes out of his comfort zone and pushes himself to draw things he's uncomfortable with
>>7347251This is a recurring thread topic. By this point I'm certain 25% of the posts to these threads are just a guy samefagging to stir the pot and watch as people take the bait yet again.
>>73463901) because he has no pressure believe me having financial security is big. i improved faster with a stable job despite only having ~2 hours a work day to draw compared to my entirely free days of neeting and worrying.2) he monetizes his journey3) having millions of people look at your work is a big motivator - he has something to prove4) He has the entire day to himself and it was a short sprint - no risk of burning out5) IQ + talentDefinitely possible.
>>7346517Ngmi loser>muh sportsballKill yourself
>>7346652Pyw retard
I can't tell his learning process just from watching the videos, is he mostly just copying faces from manga? A few times he explicitely draws without reference and they look really good to though
>>7347271So now the question is, how do we achieve a similar rate of improvement despite not having all those things?Can a depressed and mindbroken fuckup like the average /beg/ here ever overcome those shortcomings at all, or should we just accept that we're not going to improve like he did?
>>7347271What a load of shit. Drawing is cheap as hell, you have time to do it even with a full time jobyou guys literally will do anything but seriously practice for more than like 30 min
>>7350695He's not saying that having money helps because it lets you afford supplies and whatnot. He's talking about the psychological difference not having to worry about money makes, as it lets you focus on things without having the constant anxiety in the back of your head that reduces your ability to enjoy things and makes you unlikely to want to put effort into things (obviously to different degrees, depending on the severity of your situation).
>>7347018incorrect. Pewds has superior genetics.
>>7350700He drew as a teenager, it's nonsense about genetics
>>7346390Impressive. Very nice.Now try drawing anything that isn't an anime girl.
>>7350785It doesn't matter because we can see how shit he was a year ago at the start of his first video.Going from that to the colored drawings in the second video in just a few months is what's impressive.
>>7347018>A lot of us have to keep art a secret from our unsupportive and toxic familiesLolNoYou're just embarrassed you draw fetish porn.
>>7350832Maybe he's a famous soccer player who wants to hide his pussy ass bitch hobby from his knucklehead fans and model wifehttps://telegrafi.com/en/Inter-star-Lautaro-Martinez-has-a-secret-hobby-in-the-morning%2C-this-trend-shocked-the-player%27s-wife/
>>7347271Should've just posted the fifth argument.
>>7346390Because all he does is drawing anime girl heads, so he's good at drawing just that: anime girl heads.I started like 2 months ago and I'm not that good but at least I'm more varied
>>7347247He just drew an average tranime head, then copied his hands from the reference, how is that difficult? Any beg can do that
>>7350944>Any beg can do thatof course they can, the difference is that they don'tinstead of informing their knowledge gap with a ref they can easily create, they make shit up ('imagination') or just avoid drawing hands
>>7350791He even berates himself for that in the video, so I know you didn't watch. It led him to buy art books on perspective and anatomy, and he tried to branch out more. Learning all this within a year by himself is impressive, because I still talk to artists of YEARS who don't understand these concepts.
>>7346390This is a copy of a photo I did when I was 15 after teaching myself photoshop 5.0 a week in. Copying someone else's work or a photo 1:1 is the easiest fucking thing in the world to do. Literally every beginning can do.
>>7350976Also, I kept using photoshop 5.0 until 2011 because of how it handled airbrushes and hardbrushes which changed when they introduced custom brushes in 7.0. It wouldn't be until cs5 when something similar to 5.0 would be introduced.
>>7350949>the difference is that they don'twhy not? it's fun
>>7350972Felix is my age. I never watched PewdDiePie as a kid, but I grew up alongside him. So this post is entirely meaningless. He is very firmly a Millennial, and we're now 'old' with him.His messages should resonate with any artist.
>>7350970He most likely has dozens of elite artists at arms reach providing him valuable feedback everyday. He employs an entire production team with these videos
>>7351028Inferiority complexes are ugly things, anon.
>>7351028>most likelywhy the need to speculate and make up stuff, when there's enough documented evidence of people improving fast (algenpfleger)?Stop coping, start drawing
>>7351149>algenpflegermanaged to single handedly ruin MTG forever.
>>7346406Both works, but trained different things>>7346427Not him but he's not fully wrong. Like, if you seriously spend idk 30h per week doing Bargue for a month, you'll build decent observation skills. But that's just the beginning, you need so much more to even do a monochromatic self-portrait
>>7351154!hot take. Why do you think this?
>>7350832people with non-shit parents always project their situation onto others.Quick reminder that SIDS is just mothers murdering their babies.
>>7350694similar rate of improvement?Better, more noble goals, having luck in being able to consume inspired art instead of slop.Nothing else you can do other than put in the time and accept a slower rate of improvement.I also strongly suggest to exactly track your time. You'll realize that your 4 hours of practice a day may actually just be 2.5h.
>>7351368>You'll realize that your 4 hours of practice a day may actually just be 2.5h.I found this out throughout this year when I started using a habit tracker and saw how insanely easy it is to let hours evaporate without even realizing it, and how hard it is to actually put a substantial amount of time into work without it being eaten by small distractions that somehow add up to WAY more than you think (assuming you're as fucked in the head as I am lol, obviously not everyone has the same problem).Scheduling things and having a pre-established program for the day is very helpful to mitigate these problems.
>>7346390unlimited free time + millionairethat said, if you're neeting and complaining then it's over
>>7346390His improvement is mid. I can draw better animu shit than him despite not having drawn anything for the past 10 years due to excel grinding for my accounting job
>>7350940El Toro doesn't understand a lick of English
>>7351368>>7351383Same here, I thought I worked hard but in reality I got distracted by too much shit and only drew for around 1h. Since I started to use a habit tracker I managed to push my actual real drawing time to 4h daily. It also feels good to look back and see how much time you spend working on what you love.
>>7351383>>7352115Drawing on paper helps a lot too
>>7352117True. I do my bridgman/morpho studies on paper and use digital for my illustration and character design work. It feels good to switch it up.
>>7352117This,Ctrl+z is crippling for begs. You should never use it when studying. Only use undo to speed up professional work
>>7346411Like pewdiepie said, it's all about proportions. Start measuring shit and use construction and you'll start to improve really fast.
>>7346419>learn to draw from observationis it the same as /asg/ like studying from how artist render lights, shadows, and etc ?
>>7346406We told you draw a box and loomis were beg traps. And you didn't listen. I'm sorry to tell you, but your brain is already fucked, you won't improve even if you change methods.
>>7346652>retard asks how to draw anime>coerce him to slave for months studying some westoid slopI fucking love crabbing people this way. You fuck them for life and destroy their motivation
>Generally positive video about improvement>Very humble not claiming he became anything close to good yet>Clearly admits a lot of his mistakes and plateuingAnd people still find a reason to shit on him instead of being motivated. Good lord, some of you deserve to be perma begs.
>>7346390I feel so unmotivated and sad after watching thisWhat should I do? How do I stop feeling frustrated and actually do art?
>>7353248You subconsciously only like the result that comes with drawing. Don't worry, everyone is like this if you weren't lucky enough to simply like drawing for the sake of drawing. Pewdiepie mentioned something similar along the lines of having to step back 3x after stepping forward 1x.
>>7346406If you have more than 120 iq, you just draw what you like, analyze it, compare it to other artists you like to notice what in your drawings is the least similar to their work and improve it. And if your iq is smaller, it's easier for you to follow a tutorial, where they've already thought of it for you.
>>7353248same, i like how he ended the video with "i wanted to do this to inspire people to draw" when it has the opposite impact for 90% of /begs/.
>>7353248I have an unhealthy solution where I just hate myself more if I'm not learning anything useful, thereby encouraging myself to learn more.
>>7346713What does it mean.
>>7346849What the fuck is his problem
>>7353248If you want to drawjustdraaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwww
>>7353656if you draw consistently, you'll have days where you make drawings way ahead of your current level, and others where you feel like a day 1 beg (pewdipie mentions this frustration in his newest video, and how he thinks his day 80 drawing was his peak). Still, over a long period of time, your skill improves due to the volume of work.But if you are a retard who only draws once in a blue moon, yes, you'll see that fluctuation in quality, but your art's never gonna be good.
>>7352709Kinda. it's not just light, shadow, etc. It's the whole thing.Spend time observing a reference and making notes. How big are the eyes compared to the head? how much space is between them, about one eye's worth? how far is the side of the face from them? How high are they along the face, center, lower, higher? etc. Observe, analyze, come up with measurements to place elements and make them the right size, then slowly work on doing a 1:1 copy of it following these rules. If you know X element in the image should be 2x the length of another, then do that exactly measuring it on paper, etc. Eventually these kind of proportions become ingrained into your brain and you can pretty much freehand things without thinking much.
>>7352096Press x to doubt.
>>7346849>>7353658The power of Soience!
He made another update videohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GPLImB-I71w
>>7350976I'm curious to see your current work if you did that at 15.
>>7352093>every successful artist had unlimited free time and is a millionaire
>>7357510That's not what he said, dummy.
>>7352749Years ago I tricked myself like that, all on my own. Got fed up a few days after drawing some shaded spheres and ugly people, thought art is only for the talented.Tried again (1 week in now) and the boost in motivation I get from drawing a cute anime girl is amazing. It makes me want to keep improving (and there's lots to improve so it'll be a long journey). I hope it's not some sort of weird chemical in my brain tricking me, that will run out in a month kek
>>7346390why is 1/3 of the thread dickriding this guy with iq/talent or whatever? the guy copied off one reference per artwork for 3 months straight and didn't bother to learn fundamentals at all, the only thing that really improved (and the only thing that he really worked on) was a little markmaking and copying, because you objectively won't improve something you aren't getting any practice or knowledge on, and honestly like if talent is real i doubt it applies much to people who waited until they were middle aged to pick up a pencil and didn't want to do anything beyond drawalong anime busts coloured in. like i'm not at all saying anime style is always le bad but honestly if he was actually passionate about drawing at all he would probably try to find some ways to improve beyond copying (i.e actually understand what you're doing) and vary his art, OR at least think about it enough to realize that he'd be projecting a batshit unrealistic standard and showing the 1-5 out of 100 copied sketches that went well and coloured them in with 1200$ equipment, i understand that statistically someone in his position is going to be 98% the biggest fucking narcissist, but still.tl;dr if you're passionate about something you'll quickly feel the desire to learn at least a little smidge of fundamentals to understand what you're doing and learn to make something original>>7346652i'm no expert but i'm pretty sure it was incredibly common to get rejected from an art school because you just illustrated things and didn't put effort into doing something original, which is what you're describing. and IIRC most fundamentals courses specifically demand you draw whatever outside of the course alongside studying it and don't overstudy>>7346449hard agree 2bh, i think the colouring on later vids and soft lines made his drawing look way better than it actually was anyways
>>7350700Not Asian genes, and the progress is trash, so you're just coping. You're coping even when you're baiting. Pathetic sissy.
>>7350976That's not fucking trueI can't even draw a fucking line or a curve from a photograph
>>7357323damn he is good
>>7359298>i'm no expert but i'm pretty sure it was incredibly common to get rejected from an art school because you just illustrated things and didn't put effort into doing something originalart schools are scam, most of successful mangaka have no art background
>>7346390he hasn't drawn a single thing yet. All he's done is study and copy.To really prove if this works, he should make an anonymous account where he posts original art hes made and see what happens. This post will cause endless seething since its crabbing but the truth is hard to swallow.
>>7357323I'm inspired love this guy
>>7359327he also fid some memory drawing
He was:- Diligent. Meaning he gets more hours of practice;- Observant. Meaning he noticed certain patterns during practice that allowed him to improve his ability;- Lucky. Meaning he came across those specific patterns and they happened to "click" with his way of thinking. Since he tried for longer hours, he had more time to strike gold, so maybe Lucky is just a small factor.The last one might be cope. And >>7347271 has some nice explanations.I am not rich by any means, but once my life became more stable, a lot of pressure left my shoulders and I started drawing more often and with more gusto, and now I improve faster thanks to it.
>>7360141He's also in his 30's. Once you become older, it's alot easier to pick up new things and understand them especially with all the media he's been exposed to at this point.
>>7347271>He has no pressure>having millions of people look at your workSounds like a lot of pressure to me. Drawing is essentially organization. When you've been doing what he does for how long you learn to be disciplined enough to follow the rules instead of what /begs/ usually do and say>I don't like how this feels so I'm gonna go back to my old habits!He may lack the motor skills (that's what you're really training if your grinding boxes and cubes) but he doesn't have that deluded mentality you see with most people starting drawing thinking that what they made is actually good. He can see where he's gone wrong and correct it because he isn't lazy like these /begs/
>>7346390Let's be honest, the only reason this stuff is good is because Felix excessively references/copies the same generic anime girl. He draws basic anime girl faces because he became good at it but I doubt he could draw anything else beyond that subject matter.People dick riding him over this is retarded.
>>7362811>Felix excessively references/copiesThat's how you improve in the first place, dumbass.
>>7362893Of course it's how people get started to draw, but people acting like he's amazing because of it is stupid.He understands how to draw one basic thing, but likely doesn't understand underlying fundamentals and forms enough to draw other things.
>>7362893>Cherrypick one thing out of contextWhy do you pseudointellectuals do this shit like it makes you smart? He references the same fucking thing retard, and does it over and over, like bashing your head against a wall. I doubt he could draw anything else or understands it enough to draw it well enough from memory. Try rereading what I wrote stupid cunt, or better yet mouth the barrel of a gun so I can jerk off to your bloated corpse you sub 30 IQ autistic retard.
>>7362905It is amazing, most begs would struggle to copy as well as Pewdiepie starting out.
>>7362911Copying isn't all that hard anon. Provided you have enough patience anyone can copy something without understanding it.It's what separates a professional from an amateur. I'm not saying you need to be able to draw every single thing from memory, but your understanding of fundamentals should be enough you can sketch and construct from imagination without it looking like symbol drawing.Felix isn't bad but he's beg, and given the nature of how critical this board is even for good artists its insanely ironic how Felix is being praised as much as he is, either that or this board has gone substantially downhill since.
>>7362916>Copying isn't all that hard anon.Yet anons fail at it all the time in /beg/ and /asg/.
>>7362905Why does he have to draw other things? He's drawing what he likes so he wins.
>>7362916Copying is insanely hard, if it was easy then everyone would be good at art and you wouldn't see millions of shitty Sonic or animu OC's on DeviantArt. Also that patience argument could be said used for anything, you can do anything if you stay patient with it. Also since you want to bring up all these art terms you just barely starting learning since you just began reading your first art books instead of actually drawing, you can clearly tell on Pewd's green haired animu girl drawing that he already has decent form since the entire drawing already looks 3D. I find it ironic you call him a beg when you have all the classic beg stereotypes like that "it doesn't count unless you did it all from memory!"
>>7362916I agree that professionalism is absolutely dictated by understanding as opposed to just copying, but copying is still damn challenging anon
>>7362932He doesn't, but it's incredibly ironic given how /ic/'s board culture is that he's being praised so much especially here of all places. That's more my point, that by comparison he's still beg.One good drawing because you copied one thing and can do it slightly okay means you're suddenly the same as someone who is high beg or int but does one bad drawing because they're trying to improve other aspects is just funny to me (I know you didn't say that anon but maybe it's more how overall /ic/ judges and funnels attention to these people?). And honestly? His copying isn't even all that great, his drawing of Chainsaw Man characters lack the form and correct proportion and that's from copying which tells me he isn't as good as people proclaim him to be.Granted I don't think Felix gives a shit, he's happy and never claimed to be a professional. It's more other people's reactions that irk me, lot of it comes across as grifting for attention because the world's most popular Youtuber is drawing somewhat seriously.
>>7362947>understanding as opposed to just copyingThe only way to truly understand it is by copying it. Just looking at something isn't enough.
>>7362960There’s a huge difference between understanding and copying. They aren’t the same thing at all
>>7362933> I find it ironic you call him a beg when you have all the classic beg stereotypes like that "it doesn't count unless you did it all from memory!"I didn't say that, I even prefaced what I meant and you still strawmanned me. Nice job with reading comprehension. Also that green haired girl still has issues and it doesn't really mean much since we don't see his process. The underside of the chin is missing as per lots of amateur anime artists, the left eye (or right from her perspective) fills the entire space, you don't see the eyelids wrapping around the form nor the sideplane of the face in perspective (eye should also be smaller to convey perspective to the vanishing point) and the back of the neck doesn't connect to the back of the head, even with shadow to obscure it, it would still be visible connecting.It's fine if you want to be defensive because I called it out but I'm not exactly saying anything new here. Anyone on /ic/ with a basic critical eye can see these issues.
>>7362965You can understand all the notes from a song but actually playing it on an instrument is a whole different game.
>>7362975All these autistic nitpicks don't actually matter since it's a cartoon and in cartoons you can do whatever you want. Are you also going to complain about how wacky the proportions are for Ed, Edd, n Eddy next?
>>7362999No because you need to know the rules to break them and Felix isn't doing that. He isn't consciously making a choice to stylize and simplify forms to convey his intentions. Infact your example with Ed Edd and Eddy proves my point.Go back and look at that drawing, his lines aren't confident, so your comparison is disingenuous. Also Eddy's left eye (right for us) is smaller showing perspective is understood even with something so stylized.
>>7363010>Pewdiepie just barely started to learn to draw.>UUUUUH...HIS LINES! THEY'RE NOT LE CONFIDENT!Oh man, you're reaching for every straw.
>>7363019Okay, I can see you're probably a defensive beg since you just disregarded my other statement and cherry picked my statement without considering all the prior context leading up to the point I was making. I already dismantled your point regarding form and your argument was simply 'it's a cartoon it doesn't matter'. See? I can be reductive about your reasoning as well.Regardless I'm sure you'll have a long and prosperous life in your mediocrity. Have fun anon :)
>>7363022This means alot coming from the guy that got jealous over Pewdiepie's anime girl drawings.
>>7346390Why are perma/beg/s impressed by these flat anime faces? lmao I didn't know the bar was this low these days.
>>7363056but you're worse than him.
>>7363010Don't waste your time with these retards. They will cause their own impending doom anyway. It's best to leave them to their own bullshit and watch their sanity slowly fade away from the distance.
>>7363061>Don't waste your time with these retards.He's definitely not going to put that time into drawing, that's for sure.
why is everyone so interested in his "astonishing" progress? after a year he draws like the average beg, i don't see anything extraordinary about it
Pewdiepie simply copied, it's easy
What's the over/under on how many more months are we going to be seeing this thread?
>PEWDIEPIE AFTER HE DRAWS FOR ONLY 3 MONTHS AND BTFO ALL THE CRABS!!
>>7360650>He's also in his 30's. Once you become older, it's alot easier to pick up new things and understand themI don't want to burst your bubble but...https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuroplasticity
>>7363487That's a meme and you know it, as long as you have a functioning brain you can learn new things, our brains are literally made to learn and remember things. It may decline at a certain age, but you can stay fresh. My mom became a doctor at 48 for instance. But permabegs always find an Excuse.>muh adhd, autism, depression, neuroplasticity etc
>>7363545>My mom became a doctor at 48 for instancenta and I'm asking this out of curiosity not bashing, how did that happen?
>>7363549she divorced my dad and went back to university simple as that
>>7363554You have a good mom anon
>>7346390https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GPLImB-I71wokay... in one year he actually can draw manga lol.
I fucking quit, pewdiepie exists and that is not okay
>>7364055every single one of this idiots videos is him swinging at demons and reacting to 15 year old comments as if they are political statements. And I mean comments written by 15 year olds. Literally nothing he talks about is worth the effort vibrating your ear drums.
>>7364055Even while taking care of a wife and kid, Pewdiepie in only 3 months managed to destroy all the NEET begs on here who have been drawing for years without even trying.
Copying was really hard for me at the beginning, it's not THAT easy, but I could never draw ryuko like that from memory. But there's nothing wrong with it
>>7366578Nice job, if it's starting to get easy for you, maybe you can try challenging yourself by doing some full body dynamic poses like her doing a sword slash.
Pewdiepie aside, I'm realizing even more how much fat I need to cut out of my destination. The internet is full of information but that's the problem in of itself and it's delaying any sort of tangible project I could be making.
>>7363487I really think this only applies to languages.
>>7346390Drawing is about IQ, if you have low IQ, you will never make it, doesn't matter how hard you will try
>>7366998Yeah especially if you have attention problems. It can be real easy to look up a guide and get reminded of another thing you need to learn and look it up only to find yourself somewhere completely else. I think I'm finally on the verge of leaving this place and the internet mostly. It's been miserable for a while now.
>>7368446You can also look up fifteen different guides and get confused when you find one of those artists who just draws a whole thing with no construction at all, somehow knowing where everything goes.

>>7352740how is loomis a beg trap? if it's a beg trap what's the right way to learn how to draw heads?
>>7368480Meandering korean coloso courses, of course. I genuinely think asians approach things so completely differently to us we can't understand their logic.
>>7368490im learning from a korean and he uses loomis, why do you think loomis is a beg trap?
>>7368491I like loomis, I just don't like korean teachers.
>>7346406Just copying art you like is how 99% of good artists learned. Having to first spend months drawing stuff you aren‘t passionate about first is something only genuine autists do.
>>7368537insane nodraw delusions
>>7368554>draw x to get good at drawing xYes what a delusional opinion to have, better grind boxes instead.
>>7368590Not him but in almost every discipline there are things that aren't really what you do in the discipline itself but end up helping you bet better at a specific aspect of it.For instance boxers spending an enormous amount of time doing roadwork because it helps their stamina in the ring.Or more similarly to drawing, musicians often do ear training exercises, practice audiation, train trills and other non-musical movements, etc. which, even if they're outside of their end goal of playing songs on the instrument, are still extremely helpful for when they do play the instrument.
>>7368808that's a good comparisongrinding boxes is very much like a musician that only practices scales and never plays songs
>>7368816Kys retard
>>7368816I agree. Of course you also have to practice drawing the normal things you want to draw.It's not "only boxes" vs "only loomis" vs "only anime girls", etc.Everything can be helpful in the right amount.
>>7368816Post your work
>>7368816This. If you have no idea what you like or what you plan on doing in the future with your own art and are just mindlessly grinding fundies, you're just wasting your time.
>>7346849My sheer intuition would be screeching that the face is fucking wrong and I hardly go out touch grass.
>>7350989>make a photo of yourself(male)>use it to draw a picture of female characterEither it feels incredibly gay or there is a fear of triggering gender dysphoria or fear that the phone/computer will leak the cringe photos.Otherwise laziness.
