Very. Very. Very. Good. I've seen people go from prebeg to Miura level in one month.

Just draw 24 hours a day.

bottom picture is not drawing albeit.

if you aren't retarded and have proper guidance, probably the most gains you'll ever make.

Why is almost every thread catered to beginners? really makes you think

>>7744469
Probably because the vast majority of people involved in any given subject are most likely to be rank amateurs in all but a few exceptional cases.

>>7744342
I realized something about this kind of work.

They incorporated the "drawing on the right side of the brain" with "draw what you see, not what you think you see" to unwire the brains short hand method of symbol drawing. Doing so, you will see a notable improvment.

However, where people like this who unlock the right brain fail at is that they dont develope mechanical knowledge. Meaning, theyre able to now draw what they see, but they are not able to draw what they imagine, or create from scratch. That requires actual study, and mechanical knowledge of human anatomy. Otherwise, theyre just copying a photo.

all the pros ascended and stopped posting here

>>7744554
nigga, how do you study without killing your symbol drawing first? observation and copy is the very first step, thats how you learn all things. everything afterwards is just repetition and grinding.

>>7744554
things like construction are impossible when you can't even figure out simple things like how big or what distance different parts of the body are from each other in a reference

>>7744342
You have to stop thinking in terms of months and instead replace that with years.
Becoming good at drawing takes time and you have to be patient, structured and most of all put in the hour and effort.

If your goal is to improve you have to figure out where you want to go and plot out a realistic way to get there. Here is where trial and error comes in. Finding what works best for you and how you improve the most. If you find that confusing I would consider some form of tutoring. If you don't have money for that then there's plenty of free options like youtube, ebooks etc. Even discussing with anons here to get your bearings. Getting familiar with lingo and terms.
Curiousity goes a long way when you're starting out.

Yeah, after you break the symbol drawing short hand, you next step is to start the mechanical knowledge. With breaking the symbol drawing, you can grasp those shapes and forms without it crystalzing into a symbol, or at the very least, develope more complex symbols. Break free from it to control it. Drawing with both the left and right side.

You're right, and that is the idea newbies need to grasp to start learning well.

Of course 90% of newbies will never come into contact with the ideas you are describing and just slam their heads against the wall and get little improvement. Just knowing of the concepts you describe is a super power that will kickstart you on the right track.

drawing from observation -> drawing from memory -> drawing from imagination
That’s it.

well the bottom is a redrawing of a photo. Most important part of a drawing (translation of 3 dimentional objects into "2 dimentional" plane) is just not there as it was already done by a camera. This is step above doing a coloring book. You can cope and seethe however you want about it, but you know its true.

normies dont care about that, they just wanna see something impressive.

What? What is the difference?
If I am not getting it am I doomed?
PLEASE HELP ME AA

not being able to draw from imagination is how you get proko's kangaroo.

>>7744342
>How good can you get in 1 month?
this is not rage bait, but technically you can get good in a week if you spend full day while playing games and shitposting on drawing, week 2 is just a formality, after full month you only master your own style, digital painting ect.

Hes just drawing from reference using observation skills. Ask this guy to draw an original image from his mind and itd look just like the first image.
