Ints and above is this a good daily practice to escape beg Dom?Here's what I'm considering applying everyday for the next 6 months>15 minutes fundies warmup by drawing basic forms in perspective >1 hour 1 minute gesture drawing>1 hour figure drawing with focus on specific muscle group anatomy study >1 hour value studies paintingIs this good enough or should I add more or less?
>>7880189Is this good or am I setting myself up for failure ?
Constructoidism is mental illness. Literally skip all that and just draw from life, your brain will connect the dots instinctively unifying all fundamentals at once.
>>7880247Isn't that why I should do figure drawing? Also post your work
ur drawing every day ur doing gr8 bro just keep it up! i would love to see some work of urs!
>>7880265I'm just suggesting you to do what every old master did. If you want to follow youtube tier garbage instead of the literal peak of human art then go ahead. Construction is an extremely recent phenomenon, the great murals and works you see at museums were painted with zero construction. >Isn't that why I should do figure drawing? Sounds like you don't even know what figure drawing is for. Honestly at this point don't bother, it's not for you
>>7880247when people say draw from life, is it enough to try to copy a picture or do i actually have to try to draw humans in front of me irl....im too afraid to go and try to draw people in public because im a beg rn
>>7880247Unironically correct. The old masters learned only through observation. Constructioncels btfo every single day.
>>7880189divide the meme 1 minute gesture by half and multiply the rest by 3warmups are for literal autists, you're already doing quick sketches
>>7880247what counts as construction anyway? whenever i draw i like to do a little loose doodle for the pose /general build of a character which normally takes like 1~ min, is that construction because i've always imagined it to be so
>>7880273Ok I agree but I don't understand why using construction is wrong A lot of people who don't end up with art that looks uncanny because it lacks perspective. There's a reason why a lot experienced artists recommend gesture drawings and construction
>>7880281no you dumb nigger, it doesn't count as drawing from life when you're not drawing from life
>>7880301goddamnit.............. its over for me......ive mainly been practicing from pictures or media
>>7880302you're not cursed because you studied from a photo, retard, just draw from life too
>>7880300Gesture and construction are not the same. Nice job exposing yourself, beg
>>7880304I'm literally OP
No one except autistics will stick to a rigid schedule like this. Stop thinking about how you will draw and just draw. Being unable to adapt your practice to your CURRENT artistic needs will kill all gains in their infancy, but you won't do half of this anyway unless you're severely neurodivergent or extraordinarily conscientious (a bad thing in this context).
>>7880298That's called a sketch you retard
>>7880311thanks anon i never really learnt the terminology for this type of stuff i just copy shit i see people do
>>7880189
>>7880189You need to draw so much that you end up puking and with chronic pain on your hand and wrists. So you need to psych yourself up for everlasting grinding. For that, you have to draw what you like, not what others tell you to draw, even if it is "tutorial exercises". Copying stuff you like will aid your learning just as good. Build a ref folder of everything you like, porn stills, anime, hot refs, faces, comic and manga panels, illustrations, landscapes, etc, and start copying all of that as rough sketches, just copy the shapes, forget the rendering and details. That will get you out of Beg territory, and you will be better prepped for tackling all of that boring and complex anatomy learning exercises.
>>7880189>15 minutes fundies warmup by drawing basic forms in perspectiveredundant if you're already proficient with drawing constructively. once you've built up the ability to consistently draw forms in perspective you start to hit diminishing gains >1 hour 1 minute gesture drawingyoure better off leveraging something like 30 second-1 minute gesture drawings to serve as your 15 minute warmup. 1 hour is overkill as the point of short gestures is to prep your mind away from being overly analytical towards using your gut/intuitive brain. grinding these out for an extensive period of time like an hour straight defeats the purpose. when done right, gesture involves utilizing principles of perspective, observation and line control all at once, much like a compound exercise in weightlifting. consider eliminating your basic forms warm up from your curriculum and doing 1m gestures instead. this is under the assumption that you're already proficient w basic forms in perspective>1 hour figure drawing with focus on specific muscle group anatomy studydoes this mean setting up a rough gesture and then spending the remaining time studying a muscle group in isolation? only thing id suggest here is to make sure youre scaling the proportion of your chosen anatomical muscle group relative to an immediately surrounding element (eg if you're studying the pectoral, scale the size relative to the deltoid as it's the nearest muscle to it, you dont want to study the muscle group in absolute isolation because anatomy never exists in isolation in a full figure)>1 hour value studies paintingsure, though if you dont know about shape carving id start from there personally. there are multiple facets to painting - shape carving, values, form, planes, edges, color, etc. sinix has an ok video on shape carving here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iwRa5qTnr8o though if you have access to yuming li's painting course (you can find it for free if you know where to look) he goes over it better
>>7881422all things considered, it seems like youre pretty new to these concepts and you glued together several topics youve done research on are know of on a theoretical level but are unfamiliar with on an application, if that is the case id focus on construction first. ignore the retards talking about constructoidism being a mental illness, they do hold a valid point about drawing from life but your brain does not "connect the dots instinctively" on a holistic level, you do gain some familiarity on a shape level and some intuitive feel for recalling what you study from memory, but there are other levels (gestural, perspective, functional) to understanding how to render objects correctly from imagination or memory. id actually recommend lessons 0 and 1 from drawabox and then move onto dorian iten's observation course, which is paid on gumroad but he has a code to get it for free. then id work to apply your newfound constructive and observational ability to gesture (hampton and matessi are ok but a bit scattered; do some work to glue together what you need), then move onto painting. fit anatomy somewhere as you learn to paint. good luck anon
>>7881425I'll move to the observation course. I ain't taking any advice from a street shitting indian
>do all that>grind for years>still suckWhy bother
