Man ive been doing all of that without realising. That's why I can quit drawing for 1 year and after coming back I regain my skills AND EVEN IMPROVE. I never tried to draw the thing , I tried to draw the lines which have an angle and which are positioned in a certain way and I always analysed the spaces between shapes/ lines/ forms. And I swear Im the biggest procrastinator when it comes to art but when I come back I improve instead of loosing my skills .
Friendly reminder to all my nerodivergent peeps. Not everyone has a normal level of dopamine. If you have ADHD, YOU ARE THE SECOND RAT. You do not have the actual chemical necessary to be motivated. Don't beat yourself up over it, and don't try to fix it using methods made by and for people who DO have that dopamine. This guy has some great advice, just remember to be kind to yourself and find the best ways to help you and ur brain.
Wow. Now I understand WHY I've fallen off the art wagon, bc life reasons. It's all about a change in perspective! My dad told me about this for my science class in High School and it worked!! I forgot all about this and bc of your video it is remembered! Thank you!! 🌲🌹🌲
You drew eyes as you began?, Nah, I drew the madness combat face 💀💀, also I started with men because I refused to draw women, but then as I got into art I began doing both a lot and 1 year is actually Great for progress, been almost drawing for 3 years
Isn't encouraging yourself by saying that you will be more motivated IS in fact an endgoal? This part is unclear so I feel like I know less after I watched this video
I saw this title and thought "well, this is pretentious". lo and behold I'm very happy to be wrong. Now I kinda understand why I have days that I draw like magic and others that I draw like a 7yo, this helped me understand why. Thank you very much!
I also wanted to share some Lacanian psychoanalytic idea on Symbolic and Imaginary, combined with my travelling experience that helped me in photography. When I've been to Germany I didn't know a word in German and I took great photos because I did not attach a symbolic meaning of buildings and material stuff to their look. When I got back to Moscow, I experienced difficulties with photography and understood that the city that is too familiar to you does this thing - its symbolic meaning prevails over its imaginary meaning. So I imagined that I was in France and got great photos that really remind of France rather than Moscow
I used to be really obsessed with art in general, be it drawing or 3D modeling or whatever else there was. I never got any positive feedback for it, nobody really cared, so i started to assume i am just really terrible at it and should give up. Its been like 13 years since and while i know that this wasn't true, i am still struggling to enjoy the process of creating.
I'll defo give these things a try but my main issue is just having super bad ADHD so I'm already struggling in the fuel tank. Obviously there are ADHD artist so that isn't an excuse I know I can learn to draw there's just a higher wall to get over compared to most.
it's important to remember that whatever health issues you have are worth sorting out if you want to become more into art. my lack of sleep and bad diet pushes me away from enjoyable things and it's really hard to sort through :/
Love your progress!! This was also how I started out with my art journey back when i was just diving into it. Keep it up man, cant wait to see your progress in a year 👊
Yo, you changed my brain. I find out I used to draw better without reference, but kind of suck with reference. But now the upsidedown method works. Thanks man.
ok so. step one. dont play videogames or reduce time. step two. no phone. step 3 rewire my brain to ignore impulses. and finally step 4 DRAW SOME FUCKING AMINE TITS RAAAAAAAAAAHJHHHHHH
You need to think more neutrally. For example the sword guy at 14:10 , you made the whole beard dark and the face fairly bright. Looking at the values neutrally you can tell that the face is almost all dark besides the nose and the highlight on the top. Try to think about the values neutrally as they are at the moment and not about the subject as it is known to you.
Left Brain Right Brain stuff is 1000% CRAP and any time anything I watch implies its true even a little..... sorry man I am out. I can no longer trust your critical thinking skills
