Nobody masters anatomy. Paint now or paint never.

>>5220633
this. but you'd have to dedicate everyday to drawing figures. and i mean everyday. 3 hours.

learn as you go, you won't master it before painting and you definitely won't master it in 5 months like the cracksmoker up there is implying

>>5220648
yes you can. go to art college. i've seen people with zero talent, walk out after 6 months with insane progress. anatomy is all copying/reference.easy.

paint already

This is what I like. Any tips

>>5220727
just start studying the hell out of them. copy them. don't trace. watch some Gurney videos and how he works from thumbnail to finish. It's not hard to establish the process. JUst gotta practice.

>rough sketch
>trace over
>make crucial adjustments before you commit
> add colors
>finish up touches
>one last look
>finish it

PAINT OR PERISH COMRADE

>>5220727
Learn about chiaroscuro. Take a classical approach to learning. Go in the big mega and do the whole of the watts curriculum including homework. You need to learn light, colour, perspective, anatomy for humans and animals, drapery, composition and a great deal many other things if you wish to construct entirely original works. The fastest approach would be learning to draw from reference and drawing the figure a shit load then focusing heavily on rendering

>>5220756
ps this is likely going to take you decades but you will be able to not completely suck within a few years with commitment. Don’t expect to be busting out masterpieces any time soon though

>>5220629
>so I can start painting?
Did you learn construction, gesture, light & shadow yet?

but first learn
1st - Perspective aka Construction/Form(If you put dedication you can master in 150h-250h)
If you know perspective, learning to shade will be too easy
2nd - Figure Drawing(You need to know perspective for the mannequin)
3rd - Anatomy
Otherwise it's a waste of time

interesting how non of that helped me learn anatomy.

>>5220788
>anatomy
>didn't help me learn anatomy
the diagnosis is that you're fucking retarded

>>5220793
not really. the answers are in front of you. everything is already broken down into shapes, but if you want to larp about your magic guide lines, all the power to you.

>>5220629
This isn't a simple, but a stupid question
Got talent?
Got time?
Got will?
Got dedication?

Just a few success factors...

Can you draw a cube?
Can you rotate a cube?

>If you know perspective, learning to shade will be too easy

Shading has about 80% more to do with light than it has with perspective. You can fuck up perspective with shady shading but simplifying it to this level is ... odd, to say the least

>>5220825
he means forms you absolute retard. light is all about form, if you know the form and can cross contour it perfectly then placing form and cast shadows becomes trivial. god

>>5220828
> he means
Glad you mastered the skill of mind reading too. If he means form, he might as well just fucking say form

braincells just died

>>5220832
>perspective aka construction/form

when will you master the skill of just normal, basic reading?

>>5220825

>>5220824
kek yeah, from my head.

>>5220629
Take the average of what IC tells you, double that. And than double that again when you realize you're not gonna bust your ass for 12 hours a day

>>5220930

>>5220832
holy fuck learn to shup the hell up when you are wrong.

>>5220629
You don't need to master anatomy to paint. It would be useful to get down the rudiments like proportions, basic insertions, and landmarks. Unless you want to become a hardcore anatomist, you don't need to get anything close to mastering anatomy.

>>5220629
10 months - 2 years

>>5220629
>How long would it usually take to master anatomy so I can start painting?
don't try to minimax
round yourself out

>>5220629
artist name ?

Also what >>5220641 said
Or else 5-6 months actually practicing but serves no purpose if only that
