Yes. Exactly what I was saying and without all my wordiness.

>1. Make drawing fun.
If you can't do this very first step, all your efforts go to waste as you end up mindlessly grinding with the hope that it'll get fun when you get 'good'. Becauseq that will take years, you WILL become discouraged and demotivated in trying to learn how to draw if you dont first figure out how to make drawing fun for you.
>2. Make drawing a habit.
Steve Huston mentioned at the end of his book that even 10 minutes a day isn't bad as long as you are consistent because you will not stop at 10 minutes a day.
You will bump it up to 20, then 30, then 45, then an hour until before you realise it, you're drawing for as long as you have enough free time.
But it all started with a simple and consistent habit of drawing without missing a single day (which is why the threshold is so low in the beginning as it is very easy to force yourself to sit down for 10 minutes than for 4 hours. The mindset at least.)
>3. Posture.
Self explanatory. Chou-Tac's video course goes over this in explicit detail.
If you fuck up your posture, you will set yourself back. There are tons of stories on here with Anon's who have bad posture who became suicidal because they couldn't draw for a year without excruciating pain. Save yourself the trouble and learn good posture.
>4. Control.
Finally, you can put the pencil or pen on the paper.
This is where I recommend Brent Eviston (Peter Chan is okay but 80% of his course is useless beyond the exercises) as he starts you off with learning control of your tool.
I could go on about this but he should be able to explain better than I could.

I'll stop here.
Nothing here will mention Loomis or Vilppu.
You use them when you are at the stage where you can learn just by copying other artists. Which makes it pretty stupid to recommend just these two when there are a few other good books in the Artbook threads that are better for that, IMO

>Art has always been a vanishingly rare instance only produced by the most gifted of us.
You can sense the arrogance in this post.
Gives me more motivation to teach begs how to draw once I become good just to ruin the competition and put you faggots in you're place.

kek

but just draw doesn't really work for absolute begs
you really need to give course recommendations like Brent Eviston or book recommendations like Robert Beverly Hale
THEN when you know what to draw will you actually improve

I was that anon before that said I drew autistically for 10 hours a day for a month and didn't improve at all
It was bc no one really told me what exactly I should be trying to draw so i just grinded life studies even though I hated that shit
