I know there's a trick to art. There's a code, and there is a way for it to be "easy". But people on this forum are very tricky about it, why? Why don't you just tell us how to draw?
>>7977359I could tell you what happens after you die but I'm not allowed, it'd ruin the whole point of living your life
>>7977359the trick is to use reference
>>7977359No one wants others to be equally good as them, if everyone figures how you draw there is no mystery about it
>>7977359Yeah it's called perspective.
>>7977359it never gets easy. Even if you could draw at a high level, you'd still be drawing things that you find amazing, so you'll be reaching your limits and constantly trying to break past them. You wouldn't be satisfied with half assed slop.
>>7977359You want the secret? You want limitless power and abilities? You'll want to study something called "The Dragon Scroll." The Dragon Scroll has all the secrets. All the answers. Open the Dragon Scroll.
>>7977359the secret is funmaxing. if you find drawing fun and intrinsically motivating, you'll go to bed excited to draw tomorrow and do it first thing once you wake up. if you make you studies fun too you can easily grind the fundies out to learn the skills you need to reach your art goals and make the art you want to make.
>>7977359>>7977389Basically this You draw because you find drawing fun. There's no other reason why you would care about drawing. Maybe you find practicing boring or tedious, but the fact that you have fun drawing still motivates you. Of course burnouts and art blocks happen but ultimately you spend your free time drawing because it's personally rewarding and fun
>>7977359If you know, why don't you tell us?
>>7977389Exactly. An artist who grows is an artist who always draws BUT makes an active attempt to challenge themselves and study.>>7977359You have to grind shapes and forms for a solid month, then alternate between drawing from life and "using references" (breaking refs into shapes and forms, meaningful tracing, upside down drawings, gesture studies, positive and negative space studies, blind contours, etc). You also have to draw from memory (iterative drawing) and compare the results to when you draw while using a reference. You must draw consistently. You must work at what you suck at so you suck at it less.That's all you need to do.>>7977367I don't get why people harp about perspective. Composition is more important for beginners to first focus on. Anyone can improve at perspective by just grinding cuboid objects from various angles.

>>7977359the secret is to stop dwelling in /ic/
>>7977527Nah the secret is to definitely dwell on /ic/ more. You’ll be more motivated to draw when you talk about art with other people and have someone to be accountable to
>>7977359Do you know the shit we went through to get this easy mode trick? If we had to suffer, so does everyone else!Now draw 200 more Loomis Blooks!
>>7977359I cannot give you the easy mode to drawing, but I can tell the truth of drawing. At least, the truth about learning to draw.You have to mentally discover 90% of drawing by yourself. You will arrive at the same answers that others have long ago, yet you still have to go through that process for it to stick. Even the most detailed video explaining every step of drawing will not teach you how to draw, it will simply give you hints about the direction to take your thinking.Alone time is important. Be an introvert when you draw, find other things to be your social outlets. Be delusional, but keep that to yourself. Once you find your way, you must fully believe it is the best. If Loomis or Hampton or Vilppu give advice that contradicts your method, then they're wrong. The time, the frustration, the anger, and the ecstasy you went through gives you the permission, perhaps even an obligation, to say so.While you learn from someone else, prostrate yourself to him, but stab your master in the back afterward. Throw away anything you disagree with. Denounce him. Kill him as any kung fu villain does his mentor. Then travel to other dojos and break their signs as if you were in Ranma.When people asked Bruce Lee what his style was, he didn't say Wing Chun. He said it was Jeet Kune Do, and that he invented it.Some may see this as promoting egomania. It might be. But I'm interested in effects. Results. You cannot get good results unless you have 100% conviction. That's the difference between a 16 year old mexican girl who has a million followers on social media versus every other guy asking for redlines in every fricken thread on /ic/. Does she know more? Did she hoard more art books than you? No. But she went through the process and has absolute confidence in every choice she makes, and that's what's actually on display.In short, there is no easy mode. You must earn this.
>>7977359Have you seen how people here draw? Do you they actually know the trick?
>>7977359if there was a code every single school on the planet would 1) teach it and 2) charge a fortune to convey it to you. take a wild guess as to why they aren't doing that
>>7977359There is one, actually. If people disclosed it freely, newfags would be able to be very proficient in just 6 months to a year. But why the fuck would anyone create fresh competition with more time and resources to surpass them? Fuck off, fag. Grind aimlessly for 10+ years and maybe you'll find out the "code" on your own.
>>7977416>You have to grind shapes and forms for a solid monthAnd the crabbing starts
>>7977359>I know there's a trick to art. There's a code, and there is a way for it to be "easy".God forbid that for once there isn't an easy way for an activity and people have to put in the work.>Why don't you just tell us how to draw?>usWho is "us"?
