Is this method legit or am I being trolled? I was sent this by a friend but we're both begs. He said it's helpful but I'm not understanding it.

the way i memorize things is through the method of loci /memory palace technique and the PAO system.
PAO is person action object. it generates a funny, memorable image based on three part information.
(person) (action) (object)
1- winged goddess of nike raising an eyebrow while swooshing a basketball in the basket = eyebrow shape looks like nike symbol + play on statues name is nike
2- gru from despicable me in profile smoking a pipe while a man with an open mouth salutes the loch ness monster being cut in half = eye shape split into halves

What you do is memorize and attach each 3 part image in a different room of a place you know well, such as your house. Then when you want to recall the information, you simply walk through your house in your head and try to remember the vivid image. It helps to think and associate as many senses as you can, so your brain has more memory hooks to latch onto when you need to recall the information later.
"What was in my room? nike statue eyebrow raise ->swoosh -> eyebrow shape

I just take it step by step. Look at the chest. Then draw it from memory. Compare it to the ref, then fix where you went wrong and understand why. Continue from there. It leads to you observing the ref a lot which may deter some people but it helps you learn more than trying to draw ALL of that from memory which isn’t practical if it isn’t something you’re used to

Numbers are coded with the Major system:
0 S
Sero sounds like Zero
1 l
lowercase l looks like 1
2 n
n has two divots
3 m
m has 3 divots
4 R
fouR r is the last letter in 4
5 V
V is the roman numeral for 5
6 Sh
Shhh the library closes at 6 so we can't have shex
7 H
Seven rhymes with H eaven
8 B
B looks like 8
9 P
9 looks P mirrored
Then you just filter it through PAO chunks
123 = lnm = L aura-croft N uking M uffins

>>7862440
440 = RRS = Ronald-mcdonald Rapping about Sphaghetti
>>7862445
445 = Rudolph Restraining a Venus-fly-trap

thats useless information though, were I to apply it to something like
The golden ratio is 1.618
1 . 6 1 8
l Pt Sh l B
lex-luthor Poops Shells while l ady B eavis transitions.
GOLDenRAT
A golden rat runs by lex-luthor, who is pooping shells, while lady beavis (from beavis and butthead) transitions and laughs.

It can only be used to remind you to "execute" a certain thought. If I remind myself from memorization how a certain eye looks, I can quickly re execute a certain eye exactly each time. Remembering to remember a figure is 8 heads tall let's you freely check the rule as you draw.
It's not useful for memorizing, it's for reminding you to practice a certain fundamental. You will think about it more and more until whatever you were trying to memorize becomes second hand subconscious because you practiced it because you remembered to practice it. It's about recalling what you need to remember when you most need it, whereas most people look at one piece of information and the memory degrades over time, until yes it is there, but can you recall that piece of information when you need it? This isn't about memorizing, it's about remembering to remember.

Hi Cade.

It’s not beg. Trust me I read it all and the OSD method is truly helpful. I would recommend this book to anyone that is actually serious about wanting to learn. I’d say it’s a better read than Loomis or Bridgeman, at the very least. Those methods are outdated. I personally improved a lot after utilizing these methods, and I think the author might be a hidden genius. It’s a reasonable guess to say that many professionals in the future will cite this book as foundational.

Here we go again. This meme is just bad.
In what world does this compare to either Loomis or Bridgman? I've read the book, it's like reading all other types of AI regurgitated slob, and no; the "science" you've convinced yourself is brilliant, is just basic algebra.
If you genuinely read the book and found it helpful, then you might suffer from mental retardation or severe infantile autism, maybe even both.

Those previous examples are some of the best in the book, sadly. It's just not good, I don't know what else to say, and that's the most polite way to put it. C'mon, anon. Don't be blind. I could post ever single drawing from the "book" and it would only be 15 screenshots total.
>>7863461
There's a basis for it, but summaries do leave out essential details needed for learning. Peter Han is a good supplement or a starting off point, but it leaves a lot to be desired once you've read through it once. It's a great book with some good explanations, though it's a little too brief for me.

What's written on that page is like an inversion of the truth. The whole purpose of using guidelines, construction and under-drawing is to catch the really fundamental errors (distorted forms, asymmetry, bad proportion) before time is wasted on precise delineation of contours and details. A common misconception is that a breakdown into basic shapes or volumes is "easy." But look at a beginner's mannikin figure, and how the forms are all askew. It's not easy for a beginner to draw circles, ellipses, cylinders and cubes, or even straight lines. It takes knowledge and practice. The usefulness in those breakdowns is that they are SIMPLE, not easy. That is to say, they make it more evident which way the forms are oriented in space, and if there are errors in proportion and symmetry, than would be so in a more organic, detailed figure drawing. This is only useful if you take the time to draw the breakdown carefully, then look it over and actually fix any mistakes before moving on. Cade here treats his initial construction as a mindless step, just going through the motions as if anyone suggested that's all it takes to ensure a good end result. Of course, if you can't draw the initial construction correctly, and work with care each step of the way, the end result will look wrong — BUT SO WILL YOUR DRAWING MADE WITHOUT GUIDELINES AND CONSTRUCTION!

It’s clear you didn’t even read the book… the whole point is to be able to skip the guidelines… for example look at Kim Jung gi. He is one of the strongest drawers of all time and he didn’t need the guidelines. This entire method was developed over years of intensely studying his techniques, and he even verified theories by asking third parties and multiple information databases, which is why it’s scientifically sound. Why is it so difficult for people to understand that newer and better methods will always come? Why always stick to the old ways of using guidelines? Also Cade doesn’t treat construction like a mindless step but it’s just outdated technique… it’s time for better ways. I hope you can try to understand, it will be for your own good

Your claim about Kim Jung Gi can be disproved by a clicking on the top link in a literal Google search, he majored in Arts and Design from a Fine Arts school in Korea. If you know his history, then you'll know you're spouting shit. This is like discussing politics with Trump supporters, and at this point you're just baiting people. Which theories? Which third parties? What fucking database do you mean? A library? You make him sound like the next Buddha of drawing. You honestly need help, if this is what you believe.

Trust me when I say, I'm a very active poster on this board, but I don't need to post my drawings here. No matter what skill level I'm at, it won't be enough to convince the sunk cost mentality you're at. Cade is a contradictory mess, he keeps tripping over his own sentences, nothing he says is shown, and he can't even copy a simple Loomis drawing. Give me a break.

When I was a little kid, I used to trace art off pinterest and make drawing tutorials on deviant art. The phrase "You have to learn the rules before you break them" always sticks in my mind because one of my most successful fake tutorials was getting a random picture of a cat, finding toon cat art on pinterest that looked sort of vaguely similar, and pretending to simplify the photo into a toon drawing, and I used that phrase in the annotations after reading it somewhere even though I did not know anything about any of the rules I was pretending to break. Somehow I was never caught and I got a lot of praise and followers and averaged around 30-50 comments per fake tutorial saying it helped them. I'd find people in the wild recommending my tutorials to others. I had literally no idea what I was doing and whatever I hadn't just made up was a principle I'd just copied at a surface level with 0 understanding. People would ask me questions and I would just bullshit them with a straight face and they'd just be like "cool thanks!" They also didn't know I was 11, I pretended to be older and faked work experience at Disney and no one questioned me. If you're wondering how people could be so retarded, I posted anthro animal shit.

I didn't do it out of a sadistic desire to trap begs, I just desperately wanted to be an artist so I was larping as if I knew how to draw when I didn't. So if you're wondering why a beg who can't draw would make a tutorial teaching you nothing or the wrong thing, it's probably insecurity.

Ironically trying to make my traces look convincing taught me how to use non-ms paint art software and I drew more back then than I do now even if I was a thieving little shit. The only reason I stopped was because I got bored and found other goals in life I could actually achieve. If I had known how to make money off it I definitely would have kept going until I got caught. I would've been an absolute menace if I'd grown up during the age of AI.
