Is it true that drawing makes you better at drawing? Not sure I buy it...
What's the REAL secret?
>>
it is in fact the only way to get better, no amount of theory will matter if you dont put it into practice by drawing

the real secret is walking off a cliff

There’s a REAL secret but it’s impossible to communicate.
You could say “red ball” and an image could manifest in a listener’s mind, but a real red ball will never. There’s a system in your brain that allows you to process form, but there’s nothing that could be said that would help you engage it.

Spend lots of time just looking at things. Read lots of comics and photos.

Sculpt simple forms. Do origami. Play a ball sport or bike.

You need to draw smart too

Pick one body type and master it. As switching body types becomes much easier once you’ve established a solid foundation.
BUT never start with a negro body type; their head structure is so different that it would poisoned your learning phase

the real secret to get better at drawing is to start eating with chopsticks

No that’s not true. I’ve been drawing for six years, but I still haven't gotten any better. Drawing is a matter of talent, and no amount of time spent practicing can remedy its absence.

Every /beg/ is just one YouTube video away from being the greatest artist on earth

Is it understanding the form? Avoiding symbol drawing? Or both? Also what I mean by symbol drawring is just understanding the contours but never actually understanding the forms. You could get good at drawing an image or getting a mental image but you don't know how you could draw it from imagination/memory or in any other angles.

>dont like drawing because im bad at it
