You don't have to listen to me but just my 2C, don't follow that guide. That looks like a recipe for disaster. I'm the one who wrote "Aguri guide" (google it, 1st result on google) despite not really going through the guide myself. It wasn't really a guide, just to win a debate with an anon on curriculums and ever since people here revere the guide as gospel just as easily as that reddit guide. Because most people can't think for themselves...guess I just have a talent for thinking for myself AAAANyway


My advise for you if you want to get started (and what I'm doing currently) is..well let me post a quick infographic

I was also thinking of going with the guide cgma foundation and designed guide

Correct. Here is my updated aguri guide. Just follow their program and you can't go wrong.

I think new masters academy is a waste of fucking time and money because too many cooks in the kitchen all teaching the same thing. Proko is great, but as a supplement. And that reddit guide starts you off on figure drawing which is silly.

I would do everything from Brent (including his figure drawing stuff) and then just do CGMA. Ignore all other guides.

That's looks really helpful, but you raised an interesting point: some guides are made by beginners and aren't very good. Could you post your work?

Honestly you can't really go wrong with any course, as long as you're tackling your weakness. Forget people who tell you to ignore guides made by beginners. All those courses in those guides were made by top notch artists.

jumping to figure drawing without any knowledge about observation, construction or perspective
good fucking job reddit, you did it again

There’s literally nothing I can think of that’s more cringe than ngmi trying to "learn art" following random tutorials and advice on the internet. It’s like they’re so far off the mark I don’t even know where to begin with them. The average good artist, and even the above average, just exist and the things that you consider that they must have "learnt" just happened. No 16 year old pro artist you've seen on Twitter ever had to "grind fundies" or practice drawing squiggly lines, he just existed, and thought it would be cool try the style of his favourite artist and he could just visualise the form. They never though about being how to best game social media websites to get traffic, there’s no thought out into any of this, these things just happened through the natural flow of life. That’s what happens when you’re not a genetic dead end mentally ill freak, you don’t ever find yourself one night lying in bed alone wondering why you still can't into perspective or your poses look stiff. You don’t devise a plan to follow some "art tutorial" written by some fag on reddit for six months in order to be able to draw. You just exist, you do your favourite thing every day, and you end up with a banging portfolio and a couple hundred thousand followers on twitter, with a some nice job and commission offers. If you missed out on this flow, it’s probably because you’re a complete ngmi.

tried this curriculum and gave up after the first 3 units. i decided to focus on what i wanted to mainly draw portraits and i feel a lot happier and productive. in my art schedule i did take inspiration from this guide but i don't think you need follow it exactly.

Why would he? what he wrote is his cope to explain why he can't draw and won't put effort into learning it. he obviously doesn't have any "work" to post.

>>4814726
which is funny because you don't either.

>>4814743
Stop projecting, loser.

>from zero
>first month is "figure drawing for all it's worth"
That's not a beg book by any stretch of the mind and doesn't take only 1 month to go through.
