Why doesn't this board draw from imagination more? It's a lot of fun and easy too but all I ever see are copies of other artists, pornography, or copies of screenshots and photographs. What gives?
>>7962883Tons of imagination drawings get posted in every general, I think you're just not paying attention.People do lots of studies though because most people here are /beg/ and studies are how you learn as a beginner, and generally it's easier to produce something that looks good while doing a study than it is from pure imagination.>It's a lot of fun and easy tooIt's easy if you're a talentfag or you're already good at drawing.
>>7962883because it's extremely difficult. stop baiting.
>>7962894It's literally not and this is not bait. Why is /ic/ unable to have any fun with a pencil or stylus?
>>7962896Drawing isn’t fun, it’s suffering.If it’s fun for you then congratulations. But realize that not everyone is as lucky as you are.
>>7962898 Do you really think pleasure in ones pastimes is pure luck and you have no agency in that?Damn. That's fucked up.I'd kill myself if that were true.
>>7962896I do think you're baiting, if you take at loot at beg for example, you'll see plenty of imagination work, and the works that are based of a ref are not 1:1 copies at allactual 1:1 studies are the minority
>>7962902Perhaps we're mixed up in definitions then. "Drawing from imagination" is not and cannot be simply working without a reference, if it were then saying any words you remember would be "Imagining" them. If I write my imagination, then the effort is in the invention or recapitulation of things already in words.So if we work with that idea, this board works from or even with their imagination so rarely that I suspect it accounts for the crab bucket mentality.Does that make my assertion more justifiable and less bait, or no?
>>7962905making up your own definitions is also baiting others into wasting time with nonsense argumentsgo draw your retarded ponies instead
>>7962908I can do two things at once.Are you going to keep replying or are you going to find somthing to do yourself?
>>7962883There is literally no reason to draw purely from imagination, except for time constraints.Using a reference will always make your drawing look better, so why not use it? That doesn't mean you have to become a copy machine. Draw however you want. But there is also no shame in using references when it really can enhance your drawings
>>7962900It’s possible to make yourself love drawing more over time (I’ve made a fair bit of progress there myself), but if you don’t naturally love it right at the start you will have to suffer and struggle a lot to get there. At the very least, there’s a big difference between the people who start out loving it and the people who have to work to get there. Many in the latter group get filtered and quit.

>>79629131) It's fun2) Lots of cases where you don't have reference: you are drawing away from your computer, you are animating somethingLately I've been moving towards partial ref, ie I may not know exactly how a hand clasps a dagger so I'll look that part up but the rest of the pose is from memory.
>>7962917The only poster in this thread with some sense.That includes (You), OP.
>>7962915I think liking to draw has a lot to do with how content you are with your life in general.Drawing requires patience and willpower because it's a slow process usually.If you are fed up with life in general, then you also won't enjoy doing such a slow and heavily mental task much.You have to enjoy getting confronted with your own mind. Many people hate this.
>>7962883When I draw from imagination people call my drawings creepy.
>>7962917>It's funUntil you have to draw something you don't really know how to draw. In the end it will look rather boring.Even the old masters used references all the time. It's normal unless you want to draw cartoon perhaps.
>>7962922They used to do that to me too. But they were simply too stupid to say how to make them less creepy in an objective way, so ye gotta do it yourself. That feeling and overcoming it really affected me, i just wish it had happened earlier in my life.
>>7962883Because they don't have a guide to make sure they're having the right kind of and they need tips and tricks so they don't train themselves to have the wrong kind of fun. You can't just draw and not consider these things
