I started drawing when I was 15 im 23 now so ive been an artist for a while. no suprise, I was one of the best artists in my college. Also, no suprise, people who where better than me started drawing before I did. this is the "talent" illusion. however, this early talent begins to iron itself out when someone practices…
Feng Zhu says it best I think... [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dnflBERf2zM"]EPISODE 52 - Visual Library - YouTube[/ame] For those of you who don't have 40 minutes here's the short version: Drawing is simply a hand eye coordination thing that comes with practice. You can learn to be awesome at drawing, but to be…
I just, listen other people advice. Some told me to draw, some do not. SO how to learn then, human anatomy, proportion, etc tec? With Zbrush, max, maya?
Starting early only means you get better quicker. Also learning is easier for a younger mind. Creative people are right side brain dominant also. People with left side dominance may find it harder to be creative. either way, Just draw and enjoy it. Keep at it and even if you can't draw for shit, if you enjoy it, that's all…
Thanks a lot. But i don't blame my parents for this. Actually they never said something like i am bad at art, i just didn't want to draw like now. My mom, drew all the art homework i have from the art class. My parents, are both dentist. THe problem i got from my childhood, were kids from school. Most of them drew awesome,…
Quite frankly I think the biggest advantage to starting young is that no child sits around crying "OH GOD HOW 2 DO DIS? AM I TOO OLD? WILL I EVER BE GOOD? NO ITS IMPOSSIBLE I'M JUST NOT GOOD AT THIS. I SHOULD HAVE STARTED WHEN I WAS 2 YEARS OLD. NO. 1. IT'S THE ONLY WAY." They just draw for fun and they get better over…
I think the only questions you need to ask yourself are: 1. Do you like drawing? 2. Can you think about things analytically? 3. Are you willing to work hard at it to get better? This is the same for any skill that you acquire really. You have to want to get better, but just as importantly, you need to be able to work out…
Drawing certainly helps when trying to pursue any artistic field. At the very least you should be able to sketch out the basic form of the character you're going to be sculpting (unless it's based on other references). Doing it straight from your head will be a huge time sink.
Creativity drives more than just drawing. I agree with Feng wholeheartedly but he is talking about the difference between being creative and being decent at drawing. They aren't the same thing. Creativity can be applied to a lot of things not just art. Things like programing, music, scientific research, writing, marketing…
Very true. I find drawing, in particularly from imagination (not technical copying), a combination of 50% math and 50% emotion, the latter cannot be broken down to numbers. This is, at least, the successful balance. Anyone has emotion, and that's entirely unique. Some have grown to keep it reserved (parents psychology,…
