unironically learning fundies; books, copying, applying it to imagination drawing, it's like knowing cheat codes that guide you towards the line/shape you wanna make next.
and sketching with shapes instead of lines.
and warming up every day, especially exercises that help you feel the form like contouring a cylinder or a torus.
and making it a daily habit. thanks DAD

but references are important
also, i would quadruple the amount of time you think you need or that you ordinarily spend on something
if your drawings usually last an hour, do more in the beginning states (like getting proportions absolutely dead-on) and push the number to four hours

Being actually talented in middle school without even drawing any more than your average kid and regaining interest in my twenties. I'm not too persistent with my drawings but I can see the progress.

Color has been always a weakness and hard round brush was ironically the actual solution for it. I've always hated watching tutorials, and that blurry shit I occasionally produced made me quit trying to adapt to digital format.

drawing every single day even when I didn't want too and then drawing shit that I was uncomfortable or bad at. To get better I made a herculean effort at drawing stuff that I did not find fun or hard. If you're like me the only thing you want to draw is weeb shit so everything else is a chore but the only way to get any better is to grind out the other shit

I've been stuck for almost 2 years trying to learn perspective

>> No.5151784

>>5150832
how did you try to learn ? if you like working with book, try your hand a the classic "perspective made easy" by Ernest Norling. work every page until you understand, and you will have a solid foundation. if you want more after that, I found "How to draw" by Scott Robertson to be very exhaustive on the subject, but it's definitely an harder book and should be worked very carefully, page by page.

I also found that working a lot with one point perspective (drawing street and room interior) and using a software ruler to explore digitally the more complex kind of perspective really helped to make it click.

Do you test your primary attributes before learning anything in life just to see if you might or might not be talented in anything?

Fuck off. Just fucking sit down, shut the fuck up and learn. You'll figure out if you're talented in something when you actually start doing something, not before.

So no, nobody is telling you to not talk about talent. Everybody is telling you to stop being a lazy excuse filled waste of fucking space.

honestly, I think anyone can learn math and physics to university level as long as put in the work. being talented/smart just mean that it will click faster, and that you won't hate every minute you spend doing this. but if you force yourself, you can do it. then of course there the question of why you would want to learn something that you hate doing, and there is some good answer to that, and a lot of bad ones, but that another subject completely.

That's literally how you learn math you utter mongoloid
I teach math to non-nerds on the side and it's fucking easy once they understand that they just have to do grinding if they have no grasp for it and that they will just change their understanding by that. Of course low iq kevins take longer to understand shit and a 80 iq caveman probably won't get his PhD in theoretical physics. But the basics and even some advanced shit, which is enough to dab on basically everyone you meet? Just grind and your brain will follow. It is that easy. You are just too lazy and retarded to even try it. Of course talented people learn faster, big fucking news. How can one human be so dense. pyw and kys
