![]() ![]() No i understand that at first i did not but people made it clear i needed to learn the fundamentals issue is my mind is really really bad at understanding them and how to use them my strongest one is form my weakest being space and perspective i have tried to improve perspective but due to my space issues it can be very hard not to say i don't try just nothing really feels like it clicks. You want to add a background, look up how you draw backgrounds. You want to draw Spider-Man in a specific pose? Look up that pose, learn to Draw it, draw Spider-Man in it. I’m an advocate for drawing fanart because it’s inspiring, you learn from trying to draw your favorite things! You like Spider-Man? Draw Spider-Man. And, in my personal opinion (though some disagree with me): Draw Things That You Like. Create a drawing schedule (like a study schedule) to commit to studying art. Art is something to be studied and learned and everyone goes about it at a different pace.Īnyway, definitely agree to find tutorials (not just ones that have you follow along with a drawing, but also ones that explain their processes), study anatomy, study proportions, study creating backgrounds, etc. No, you’d tell them to study more, or offer suggestions to help. You wouldn’t tell a child to just give up on school because their classmate managed to get an A, while they got a D. it’s similar to studying for school - yeah some people don’t need to study as much and seem to excel, and some people need to study everyday both of those are okay. There are things you can do to speed up how fast you’re learning, like everyone suggests - follow tutorials, take more time to commit to drawing, etc. I just first want to say that that *is** progress* the fact that you’ve improved at all means that you Are learning, it’s just not as fast as you would like. ![]() “I started drawing like a first grader, now it’s more like a 3rd or 4th grader” It's not a one-size-fits-all kind of statement. It *can* be good advice, but we need to be careful about saying this kind of thing when we don't know an artist's goals. And they are/will continue to be forever drawing exclusively for themselves. etc.Ī statement like this is only true if these conditions are met: The artist you're saying this to doesn't care about improving in any of the objectively measurable art skills (anatomy, perspective, form, lighting.). If you want to be a concept artist for a realistic AAA movie or game, there is a right and wrong way to go about communicating the characters visually. Most of your advice is great, but this is a completely conditional statement that can't just be thrown out without some qualifying being done.įor example: there is absolutely a right way to draw in proper perspective. "all drawing is good drawing" without taking the time to define "good", then probably not. ![]() But if you mean no right way in a more general sense i.e. If you mean "no right way" in the sense of "no one technique you must follow", then absolutely. It's certainly possible that you have less natural talent than many people, but if you keep at it, you will improve. Then work through the exercises systematically and ideally get a (paid) mentor to give you feedback. ![]() Take a drawing course or read a good book, for example Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain. Even if you spend a lot of time doodling, if you always do the same things without working on your weaknesses, you won't improve. Art takes a lot of repetition and practice.ģ) You don't have a strategy. If you practice four hours a day it will be faster. If you only invest half an hour per week you'll improve very slowly. It's like comparing your vacation to someone's Instagram pictures - hopeless.Ģ) You're not investing enough time. YouTube videos that show off people's art journey will obviously try to make it look as fast and effortless as possible. The most obvious answers are:ġ) You're actually improving at a normal pace, just not as much as you'd like. It's impossible to know why you're not seeing improvement without knowing where you're at and what you're going for. ![]()
