Does learning to draw increase your iq? Especially if you keep it up for years and get to the upper echelons of pro-league skill?
>>7347837the most improvement happens at the very beginning opnot sure how significant it is but yes using your brain more makes you better at using it
>>7347842nah, most improvemnet happens few years into drawing. I personally only started seeing big jumps in quality after few years of grinding. Things just begin to click one by one
Lifestyle factors can up what people tend to score less than 5 points around the mean and lifestyle here includes doing something intellectually stimulating.
>>7347837it lowers your iq :^)
>>7347837Not sure about that, but it has slightly improved my handwriting and observation.
>>7347837Yes. You exercise your brain in healthy ways when you draw. You observe, interpret, and create. There’s also a lot to learn, so many artists read plenty too, which is of course beneficial.
>>7347837vilppu is almost 90 and has no signs of dementia, all the old animators in richard williams' task book were still producing master level work in their low 90s. Drawing daily at the very least seems to offset the typical mental decline.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grim_Natwick
>>7347837Makes sense why permabegs and crabs are retarded as fuck
>>7347837Getting into the higher levels of mastery over anything does increase the amount of grey matter in your brain. As for if its a direct increase to IQ I don't know, but it's not uncommon for the specific intelligence you acquire to be able to translate to other areas. For example, the more you understand light, the easier the concept of Raleigh scattering or subsurface scattering becomes to understand since you understand that color is just a property of how light interacts with surfaces and materials.
>>7347837If it did I would be making a nuke and fly it to America
>>7349968are you grinding physics alongside drawing, you need to get your 10000 differentials in
>>7347837No, cris. You'll stay retarded
>>7347837I can honestly say there is no intelligence in drawing. Its all muscle memory and instinct. I've been drawing for my entire life and I cannot tell you a single rule or tip that you should do. Nothing is real. All drawing is just making shit up and gaslighting yourself by drawing random lines until something looks good.
>>7351599Can we see the results of this pure muscle memory and instinct? Maybe pyw?
>>7351604nah
>>7347837Doing any skillful hobby for a long period of time alters your brain to develop neural pathways to increase your brains efficiency to do that skill. So yes drawing increases your spacial intelligence and imaginative abilities over time. Of course everyone is limited by the biological hardware that they are born with. But your brain is neuroplastic and can be molded to become better through repetition and skillful practice.
>>7347837i can draw pretty good and im more retarded than normal
