I just watched this video and it was kinda disapointing, but I realized I've never actually used a book for art studies.
What are some good books for a /beg/ like myself? Are they worth the hassle or do I just stick with video courses

How /beg/ are you? Me trying to find a few books that could help me feeling and drawing simple 3d form.

Grab a book, search pictures online of things you wanna draw. Video courses like human/animal anatomy provide bones you can't copy, you need meat from books and pictures of thing to copy.

Why watch useless videos stead of that?

Phase 1

Step 1: Draw thing from brain.

Step 2: Find 10+ pictures of thing from different angles. Put in box.

Step 3: Take 2 or 3 pictures and trace them. Feel how every part connect.

Phase 2

Step 1: Choose 1 picture of thing from box. Few minutes observe hard.

Step 2: Hide Picture. No peeking! Grab pencil. Draw from memory.

Step 3: Pull picture out. Look at drawing, look at picture. Find where brain do oopsie. Wrong line? Wrong shape? See it!

Step 4: Hide picture again. Draw new one. Fix the oopsies.

Step 5: Do many times until drawing look same.

Step 6: Pick 1 new picture from box. Do Phase 2 again.

Phase 3: Draw thing from brain again. Compare. If improved, happy. If not, still happy because me draw.

I tried reading the Loomis book but it’s some archaic shit. I couldn’t even understand why he says on page 11 about those people. Proko is much easier to grasp

just pick a book or a video, and stick with it for a while. like a few hundred hours. it's pointless to move from one course or book to another.

sticking with it for a while is key
