god same dude... I love incest so fucking much...

but I have 4 siblings, 8 sets of aunts and uncles, and both my parents are alive. If any of my family ever found out that the main thing I enjoy doing is drawing incredibly graphic incest... god. I think I'd get killed.


I have absolutely zero feelings towards them IRL or even as a concept but shit dog, people can't differentiate fantasy from reality.

Why is painting without lines so hard? Holy fuck, I'm getting my shit pushed in for over 30 hours by something I would've finished in six if I didn't listen to that shitty "real life has no lines" bullshit.

>yeah dude, just don't blend the edges, what could possibly go wrong?

>I'm simply throwing out the fact that lots of great artists have been able to learn perspective and figure drawing long before Scott Robertson and Hampton wrote their books.
Yeah but that doesn't mean that their books aren't some of the best resources on the market right now and I don't see you should gimp yourself by not using them and instead using outdated resources. Especially considering that many Anons here (me included) can't afford a good art school so we have to make use of every single resource we can find.

Also Scott's methods were used long before his book came out at Art Center and afterwards at schools such as FZD, so it's not like people didn't use them before it's just that they had to pay 100k bucks for them.

Not him but I spent over a whole fucking year doing nothing but searching for the "best" path, kept jumping from book to book and from course to course, never really committing to anything. But at some point you need to place your faith into someone and just go with it.

ART IS WEIRD, it's not something as academic as math and science, it's really 99% work and training because the more you do it the more you develope a sense of volume, perspective, measures, value, color etc.

This is what a lot of beginners, me included fail to understand, there isn't a single right path for art and there are no magic trick or secrets because a lot of time you won't even be aware that you are improving, your brain will assimilate and adapt concepts you probably don't even understand. You just need to accept this weird concept.

Why even start?

yes, the standard is what makes you decent. if you were satisfied with the stuff you made while being aware that it's much worse than the average pro, you'll never get to that level.

but that being said, recently i really realized how important it is to draw with absolute confidence regardless of doubts. it's almost like while drawing, you have to be completely and utterly delusional and believe that you are a master of your craft in order to execute everything you've learned properly.
you have to kind of "just do it™"
this mental side is really interesting. thanks for the anon who recommended that jazz book some days/weeks ago. it was helpful.

i'm starting to believe that this paradox is something artists need to have in order to succeed.

doodling something, for an hour or two

Holy shit OP me too. I want to draw, but I look back at my past successes and tell myself those were flukes so I just say fuck it an start playing something or watching TV.

it may shock you but this "copying" skill is still a very very important skill, even for drawing from imagination.

rather than copying, this is about correctly SEEING not just other images, but also your own drawings. you could say that this skill is about accuracy.
your sketches never come out the way you want no matter how often you revise? it's partly because of this skill.
what it makes you do is basically learn the habit of constantly checking for relationships and distances/angles between lines and points.
life drawing helps you in the same way btw, this is just a more simplified and specialized excercise.

keeping your form in check = accuracy
