when people say "just draw" this is why

“Just draw” is a begtard trap.

What they mean is get good faggot/stop crying/don't care/shut the fuck up

Discussing education with academics is painful. They'll babble on about Bloom's Taxonomy but stick 'em in a room with a few kids and they'll get frustrated and berate them for not having a growth mindset.

A 7 y/o I know drew this, unprompted, spontaneously, honestly. I took a picture because I thought it was cute. So why is this so hard for /ic/?
>bu-
You haven't done this in literal years, have you? An honest drawing, because you felt like it. A drawing that made you happy.

>>7905287
There are also "learners" that want to improve by doing exact steps without exploration by themselves.

It's all retarded
>>
Sure, an expert may not be able to teach well, but what about someone who is both an expert and is somewhat talented in teaching?
The expert may have blindspot, but the teacher would not.

Regardless, I think saying that an expert has blindspot in how to acquire the skills and talents to reach their level, and there the experts advice has no value... is like throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

Regardless, "just draw" is still the best advice, but your reasoning behind why that is, is retarded.
If you want the best result from your workout, you speak to a fitness coach, or study up on a good routine.
Likewise, if you want the best results from your drawing study sessions, have a teacher, or a good book to help with that routine.
Just mindlessly drawing, or mindlessly exercising, will often bring suboptimal results.

>>

This is real. But amateurs who pretend to be experts while being unable to answer questions with any specificity are just as likely to say "just draw."
"Just draw" and "just draw this way/just draw it again" are not the same advice.
>>
>>7905855
It's fucking sad that kids only draw IPslop now, and then they quit drawing
fucking cattle
>>
>>7905287
Just draw is real, it doesn't work with you because you are a low functioning retard. People with autism don't count
>>
>>7908775
This is not new. What's more surprising is that kids are drawing the same shit that kids drew when I was a kid. It's been Dragon Ball, Mario, and Sonic for 30+ years now.
>>
>>7908736
>we're all retarded here
No, just you.
>>
you can only "just draw" if your life is good. If you're stressed then you can't enter flow state and thus you can't improve or learn.
>>
THERE IS NO FOOLPROOF WAY TO TURN A BEG INTO A GREAT ARTIST

IN THE 2000 YEARS SINCE JESUS DIED NOT A SINGLE PERSON IN HISTORY STARTED SHIT AND STUDIED THEIR WAY TO PRO.

YOU NEED A CREATIVE SPIRIT AND THE NATURAL ABILITY TO FEEL THE FORM.

JUST DRAW MEANS TO JUST DO AS MUCH AS YOU CAN AND HOPE YOU HAD IT IN YOU THE ENTIRE TIME

Sure, if that's what you want, let's just do a quick fanfiction (though mostly a faithful adaptation) recap of our conversation so far. Enjoy.
>You: Everyone on this board is retarded.
>Me: Does that include yourself?
>You: Like this guy above!

>You: No, you're the only retard here.

>Me: ??? But you just said earlier...

I must say, our friendship has been a bumpy one so far! I wonder what twists and turns will test this friendship in the future?

It's the fanfiction you asked for, you silly retarded and dementing goose. I must say, I didn't expect you to lower the age of your insult by one, that's quite the twist. Don't worry, our friendship maintains!
Don't worry, no matter how much you spurg out, or how mean your words are, our friendship will persist! I'll always be in your heart.

I've literally never done that, and don't really know how to start. That 7 year old genuinely has a better understanding of drawing than I do.

all adults lose the ability to do this due to capitalism and goyslop changing us.
>>
>>7908788
>This is not new.
It is. They only draw IPslop because they're creatively bankrupt by the time they can hold a crayon. Fucking deep fried in the brain. They can't even think of something original or creative. When I was a kid I drew shit I saw in cartoons but also a lot of random I came up with. Kids now only draw IPs they don't even watch
>>
>>7905855
I don't have time as an adult to draw "honestly" i have to make money. All jobs are inherently dishonest because you are doing it to get paid and would rather just take the money for free. I enjoy drawing, don't get me wrong, but i also need to eat and pay rent. If that 7 year old had to draw a sonic that was good enough to prevent his parents from divorcing, then we'll talk.
>>
>>7909249
I assume you enjoy your job more than you would other jobs, because it's an art job - so I don't see how that could be seen as dishonest.
I think the whole line of arguing that 'mindless drawing' is somehow more honest than drawing with reason and intention behind it is stupid.
Cool, the kids doodle when they're bored in class because that's all they can do to entertain themselves - this is honest compared to someone who intentionally chose to draw when they could be doing other things because...?
>>
>>7905860
Not that guy, but my problem is to get people to even start drawing.
>>
>>7909224
Kids are not looking over their shoulder trying to impress idiots on the internet. A throwaway Sonic drawing is infinitely more honest than trying to be original for its own sake. You're seeing what they actually care about.
>>7909249
So then be miserable.

If we're going to be hyperbolic and use the word 'literally' wrong, then sure, I guess we are.

just draw doesnt mean mindlessly draw with no iq or thought
it just means stop fucking making threads on ic, making excuses of why you cant draw or improve, and just put the hours in and study up
>>
>>7909406

nta, but yes, literally. Are you stupid?

>just draw doesnt mean mindlessly draw with no iq or thought
I mean, when I just draw mindlessly with no thought into my sketchbook, out come entire worlds and stories. It can't be that difficult, right?

>nobody uses the critique board for critiquing, what are you, retarded??
crazy how people admit to not using the board for it's indented purpose and dont get banned but i get a warning for making an /ic/ meme, funny how that works

reminder that /i/ exists if all you want to do is post your artwork
>b-b-but nobody uses it!
exactly
that's how little people actually care about your art
people come here to learn how to draw, not look at your artwork, nobody cares
>>
>>7909964
BTW "critique" isn't about masters teaching begs it's something actual artists do to help each other improve.
It's pointing out mistakes so they can be fixed. How you go about fixing them is your own business and no one's gonna hold your hand.
Ain't nobody got time for howies who don't know how to hold a pencil.
>>
>>7909975
Again, if you're here, either you're giving critique or you're receiving critique. If you refuse to give critique and you're not here to give it, why are you on this board?

Don't answer that, I already know: /ic/ has more eyeballs than /i/. Because you want more people to actually see your artwork, you maliciously post artwork into the critique board as a ruse to get compliments with no intention of taking or receiving critique.

You making a dumb fucking excuse about people not being able to hold a pencil is giga low-iq and shows you don't put much thought into the fucking garbage that piles up inside of your brain.

>HURRR Y U NO POST WORK????
porn "artists" come here to advertise
if you're not shilling your subscribestar dog nigger porn page there is no reason to post content on 4chan
the only result is you will 1) waste time engaging with potheads, shitskins and trannies 2) train the AI spambots flooding the site 3) get doxxed or stalked by the local mentally ill autist

couple years ago posting this (factually true statement) would've gotten you 10 million butthurt replies
now this has become so obvious not even the autists and the pornfags can attempt to disagree to damage control
>>
You can't "just draw", you are limited because what you draw has to have good composition, say something interesting, include something you care about (which is passion/soul) and it needs to be somewhat original. There's only like ten different compositions that are even worth using and maybe a hundred unique poses. When you draw one, you can't draw anything even close to it if you enjoy drawing, you'll want to do something in a completely different direction, so your choices are even smaller.
