Drawing Courses for beginners are made maliciously to farm cash from beginners because they are the biggest market.
>>
most aren't malicious; it's just extremely difficult to teach beginners. especially the retards and autists you find here.
>>
>>7902337
Sounds like an excuse for lack of skill.

Teaching beginners is harder than drawing itself but artists never want to admit that they don't understand drawing well enough to teach it.

Most artists got good by just grinding and drawing a lot. This is good for the artist but useless for teaching since you never actually analyzed what why you are doing works. Thus, unless you can make a beginner grind, the beginner will never improve with your advice.

This is 100% true and yet to be disproven.
>>
>>7902340
you do the same thing
>>
All courses up to a certain point are for the untalented or people who need their hand held thinking drawing is an MMORPG and don't know what to draw beyond grinding.

How sad... How could you do this to me Loomis? I thought we were just having fun with a pencil!

Yea. Also those boxes are fucking WONKY! what’s the point? Just perspective draw them!

>use other methods to learn how to draw (i.e. tutor, school, actual good books, draw with purpose)

what is the end goal of this?

You're being gaslit and you're correct. Let's take NMA for example...

https://s3.amazonaws.com/resources.nma.art/NMA-Course-Guide.pdf

A single track no matter what you pick escalates to 500+ hours of lecture time. A working man from 9 to 5 has at best 3 to 4 hours to spare. A beginner going through an assignment will take 3 to 4 hours to finish, so that 500 hours of class time is actually double to 3 times as much. And we all know a very small percentage of people actually finish a class. Just 1 class....one.

People will buy annual subscriptions on new years and will let their sub run out till december and not draw. They know this (the business). It's not far fetched that to tour derails (tutorials) are just another business.
>>
>>7903978
all of those lessons look like bloat
you learn to draw by actually drawing, noticing something that sucks, learning how to fix it, then back to step 1
all of this bullshit is just a grift, like you said, to have people's sub run out

i think it's particularly malicious because it targets beginners who would do this kind of thing
they dont care if the beginners actually watch the videos or improve, they just want easy money

what wouldnt be malicious would be weekly critiques where you first see where the artist is at, give him critique and things to work on, then meet with him next week
thats not a waste

but this subscription shit is just evil

>ASSIGNMENT COURSE LECTURE TUITION GRIND WORK mmmGRIND gotta FUckEN GRIIIND
There is something wrong with your retarded brain if you even consider sitting through a 500 hour lecture drawing, instead of just drawing.
It really is your fault. Be less of a moron and a mark.
>>
>>7904000
That's not my thought process, and I guarantee I draw better than you. 100%.

nope

You can bring a horse to water, but you can't make a nodraw draw.

Truth Nvke: All course shills and all your favorite artists went to art school
>>
>>7904027
I've seen zero evidence that art school does anything other than potentially procure you industry connections. Seems like every artist I admire was obviously good before art school or good independent of formal education. In fact, places like CalArts seem to crush artist-hopefuls into generic industry drones with no sauce as often as they "produce" an Eliza Ivanova (who would have been elite no matter what).
>>
>>7904027
>your favorite artists went to art school
Not true, Hitler famously never went to art school!

little teenage faggots like you i see all the time in politics doing cringe tiktok debates with no substance

every single one of you little niggers need to shut the fuck up and post your goddamn work, no one here is going onto your pedophile discord to prove anything, post your fucking work or get the fuck out

Live drawing duels used to be a staple around here, newfag. It's about time we brought back public executions like this.

>>
>>7904027
No people go to art school to make friends. Also there are similar resources that don’t require you going to a university, like an atelier or mentor. Drawing from real life is the most important distinction which can make it seem like art school kids get good from art school, when in reality they’re given the resources to draw from life.
>>
>>7904084
You’re no fun and no amount of back and forth will change your mind, so I’ll accept that towel on the bathroom floor belonging to you and move on.

how does one even get a mentor?
should it be online? i tried looking for in-person mentors or teachers but cant find anything

except it would be if the mmorpg told you to do one thing but you're actually supposed to do something else and you dont figure it out until you grind and realize you were told wrong information

then just repeat this 100x and thats drawing advice/tutorials online
>>
>>7905591
But I've never read a perspective or anatomy book so what would my favourite be?

>>7908599

there’s a disconnect when an advanced artist tries to teach a beginner as they’ve either forgotten the struggle points or are just so gifted they can’t convey their knowledge in a way that everyone can understand
>>
anyone notice this board is getting more ESL by the day? Every day there's 5 new threads with broken english arguing about nothing.
>>
>>7908873
>"""Pablo""" Picasso
>Leonardo """Da"""Vinci
Also, you've outed yourself as ESL by implying this post had broken English.
>>
>>7909298
Yeah its fucking over, the ESLs like you are getting uppity trying to defend yourself without even hiding it or making sense anymore. I didn't think I had to clarify but I was talking to actual OG 4chan users and didn't want you to respond.
>>
>>7902329
>beginners

beginner autists that actually can't learn
marginal difference. But yeah, they enroll to everything, they pay for everything but no matter what happens, they still don't learn.

Move on to other hobbies til the end of their life.
>>
>>7909305
Brother, I have an English degree. You are only outing yourself even more.

>its
it's

>fucking over, the ESLs
Two separate sentences. The is an erroneous use of a comma.

>the ESLs like you
ESL phrasing. Use: "ESL people like you..." instead.

>without even hiding it or making sense anymore
This needs to be completely rewritten. This is something I would read from a middle schooler.

>ESLs like you
>yourself
Grammatically inconsistent in this sentence.

> I didn't think I had to clarify but
You don't use a comma where it should be used but then use it where it shouldn't be used. Ironic.

Racism is just a stand-in for lack of an interesting personality. These boards seem more suitable for you:
