Why do you want to learn to draw?

>> No.6426725

>>6426722
because language learning is not an engaging enough hobby so i'm trying to get into something else that I can realistically do as a shut in autist. Also I have all I need to start drawing already

drawthreads are okay but some of them are kind of cancerous these days. /tg/'s are always pretty fun

I thought if you dont even have any work to show, you literally just started out and are going to draw on paper. Ok then, draw this nigger prompter.

>> No.6427356

>>6426680
Draw what you want to draw, copy and trace artwork you love ad nauseum, draw something on your desk, draw rocks from photo reference literally just draw and accept the fact that you won't produce anything of merit any time soon and focus on learning to enjoy simply draging your pen across the paper.
Step 1: fall in love with the act of drawing
Step 2 : after in love with simply making marks on paper and the craft you start studying your weaknesses and figuring out the fundies
And repeat til the day you cark it

Pick an artwork you like and copy it. Somehow feels like you are making it.

pretty good start anon. try drawing stuff around your room/house too and try to practice dynamic drawing. eg; reducing the objects around you into basic 3d shapes & wireframes
