/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

Hello BEG, todays chapter made me realize that the school system failed me twice:
1) why did none of the sport teachers told me how to count calories so i could stop being obese before i discovered 4chan /fit board?
2) why didnt art teachers teach me how to not symbol draw? Like what was even point of the classes?
What is your opinion on art classes? The book claims kids stop drawing around age 10 because thats when they start developing strong spatial awareness and their doodles no longer appeal to them so they on average give up. Why are art teachers useless? Is it by design to keep normies uncreative soulless NPCs?

Sounds like you fell for the beg trap. Curiously none of the stickies even recommend that book, they recommend different loomis books

I am like 30% done with it, its extremely wordy book and it seems its only about curing symbol drawing but i bet people who are incapable of filling in the blanks will appreciate the very tight instructions for the exercises and then essays explaining what the training did and how

thumbs up. i recommend to pick some book or course from sticky and follow it IF you ran out of ideas what to do or where to improve

I cant really paint but even my limited tries at it taught me you need to switch between hard smaller brush for edges and broad fuzzy brush(es) for everything else. Your animal is fuzzy everywhere which isnt accurate depiction. Pick brush with solid texture, make it thin and make "outline" on places where are HARD edges to boos up the painting.
