>>7811721>This is like telling a legless man to run no matter how badthen why are you, as a legless man, on a forum about running?
>>7811772Imagine if with time and practice the legless man has the ability to grow legs
>>7811721If you want to get good at baseball, you have to play baseball even if you lose. If you want to learn how to read, you have to sound out the words even if you mispronounce or say a word weird sometimes. Doesn't really sound that retarded once you actually use analogies that involve learning a skill that you have the equipment to handle.
>>7811721Draw this frog in your style
>>7811721Just draw, a lot. Doesn’t matter the end results just consistently engage in the process
>>7811721ok. then find a course to do and follow that. try this one. he starts out with how to put down lines and shapes. can't get more basic than that
>>7811882Ok now what>>7811892That sounds silly. That's like saying playing baseball will make you a better hockey player>>7811900Any free recommendations? I already tried Loomis
>>7811721>howie thread in 2025
>>7811961What? It isn’t like saying that at all lol.my point is you just need mileage to make it through
how to get good, a fool proof guide:draw everything about the thing that inspired you to get into drawing. was it a drawing of a person? draw all the parts that make up a person, a lot! I remember early in my drawing journey as a kid, just drawing pages and pages of anime eyes. it was like gambling, most were shit, but sometimes you would get a slightly better one and chase that feeling.
How do I draw without expending energy? I get into the zone and an hour passes by like nothing, but I end up mentally exhausted. This is the main thing stopping me from drawing, it takes too much energy.
>>7812444>>7811999DOUBLE TRIPS WTF>>7811984LITERALLY WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK IS THIS THREAD
>>7811721>I'm not good enough to even begin drawing what I want. Not even badlyyou draw what you want repeatedly until it stops looking like shit>started drawing last august>hated everything>over a year later here in dec 25>feel like I can actually do it >plus people actually comment on my stuff now and it feels nice having built that up
>>7811721>I can't even draw badly!What are you, retarded? Stop giving yourself excuses and just fucking draw
>>7811882And what?
take a photo and trace it in digital program. at least do it a few times.
>>7811721Idiot.Sorry but... imagine this is programming and you like GTA 5 so you gonna program GTA5 ? probably not... specially not at start. It's like wanting to draw whole 50 episodes of Anime by yourself. Start with simple even pros start with simple shit in programming you would learn how to build simple calculator so learn how to draw basic shapes. FUNDAMENTALS and again FUNDAMENTALS don't skip them and draw what you have skill for and bit more to improve but not to the places where you can't reach yet.
>>7811721>I'm not good enough to even begin drawing what I want. Not even badly cope. You don't WANT to try and draw what you really want to draw because you know it will look bad, but you can still try. A 5 year old can try to draw a person. Will the end result look like a photorealistic human? No, but it will look like something and, most importantly, it will be valid practicestop coping and go draw something>>7811961dude this is actually pretty good. Most normies couldn't draw a frog this well, so that means you've already improved. Just keep practicing and you'll get there
>>7811721>I'm not good enough to even begin drawing what I want. Not even badlyI don't know what you want people to tell you since drawing badly is something everyone does when they're beginning.You have to get comfortable with messing up.
I want to draw, but I have brainfog and fatigue even though I do nothing all day. The thought of turning on my tablet and setting it up feels like lifting 2000lb weights.
>>7811900That book is a beg trap. Just start drawing and if you're stuck, look it up on YouTube
>>7811721>Draw whata box
>>7811721copy something as accuarately as you can.Any subject you like. Compare, and see where your drawing is off at any time and correct these mistakes. Think about what you're doing and where you place any lines at all time. Don't mindlessly draw. Use your brain
Just try to draw something!>I can'tYeah, you're not good, but try!>But I'm not goodYes, but if you try you'll improve!!!>.............>no.Fuck off then, give up. What do you want to come out of this post besides you whining and moaning and getting attention for it?
the problem with drawing is progress is not linear, and it isn't even incremental. You can draw for an hour and produce nothing. You can draw for 2 hours and be worse than when you started. Its completely random, its not like going to the gym where you have a right and wrong way to overexert your muscles. >just draw for funI don't want to have fun.
>>7811721find someone to cleave your frog-head right down the middle, might solve your brain problems
>>7811721I fucking suck at drawing
>>7811721people without legs have a measurable and consistent advantage at running because they have less body mass (they need prosthetic legs though)
>>7811721Yes, just draw.I drew 100s of gondolas during covidnow I draw like pic related and this >>>/i/821935
>>7811721Personally after some reading and watching videos I came to the conclusion I want to have some basic instructions so I know what to focus onSpecifically decided in the beginning the most important thing is that I can draw shapes and proportions right so that's what I'g going to practice the most
>>7811721does anybody have the comic where some useless retard is whining about being unable to pet dogs and when approached by somebody with a dog to pet he just sits there whining about being unable to pet the dog instead of just petting the fucking dogyou useless fucking retard
