    Using the nose as a base is one of THE oldest techniques for sculpting marble statues and also to paint

    Makes me feel better about drawing with a dip pen, and I used it because of the same reason: to teach me how to be confident in lines and to force me to use single clean strokes. On my first attempt my sketch looked very wonky, and then on the next day I drew the same sketch and I greatly improved on the space between the eyes, nose, and lips and the head proportion. My line confidence still needs more practice, but 30% of it shows cleaner lines than my previous sketch.

    I often see artists on my feed talk about how making art their main career made them lose interest in their art. It makes me slightly worried for my future since art is what I’ve wanted to do for many years. I can see myself improving but the reality that I will need to decide how I want my life to go in two years really is daunting. This video is very comforting to me and reassured me about the decisions I want to make for myself, thank you! Also your voice is so calming.

      Also, don't forget that just because you are choosing arts as a carrier, it does not mean that you can't learn other things. Burnout is real and no matter how much you love what you do, you'll still get tired if you only do that thing.
      I myself am a professional musician, but I also decided to learn how to draw and how to write light novels.

      Don't make it your career. Make it a passion that you still keep as a hobby. If you can monetize it or otherwise put a fulfilling/incentivizing purpose to it, go with that.

      honestly i think you should give things a try and not let other people’s experience, whether good or bad, hinder you too much. try and create a backup plan if things don’t work out so you won’t lose your footing entirely, this goes for no matter what you want to do as things can always go wrong. some things are better kept as a hobby while others are at their full potential as a job. a lot of factors play into it, your motivation, the place you work at, who you work for, etc etc, and these factors are different for everyone.

    " One of the reasons why an artist might stop drawing is a subconscious fear of failure "
    I felt that. I started drawing people's sketches (like my mom and my friends). Then my relatives saw it and asked me to draw theirs. I had no interest so they didn't turn out well and I stopped for a long time.

I've been doing digital art now for 2 years and rarely touch paper, this has given me the drive to give this technique a go, as I can not always see mistakes straight away on something like photoshop like I would with pen and paper, plus it would also be good to go back to my routes, I love your art and style, you have a new sub

    As a high school artist, during quarantine I started using microns for the first time and began to consider the fact that I can't fix my mistakes, so I would draw with them all the time to get myself into a different mindset. I recommend this to artists who aren't confident in their art, because psychologically it does help you prevent mistakes because you know you can't change a mistake but have to work around it. It also makes you feel more confident because when I used graphite I was self conscious of if my art looked good enough, but with this I became more confident and like my art more than before and not just because of the increase of skill. I tend to be an insecure person but this definitely made me confident about my art style and might have even made me more confident with myself too.

    Thanks for some good ideas. I would disagree that you can’t be good at portraiture without learning the proportions of the head and features. Although I did learn them early on I also forgot almost everything and when I try to draw from a photo and I try to use the standard proportions I find it almost always makes my sketches worse. I do better by just looking very carefully at the subject and constantly checking the the photo or model many times. Perhaps drawing from imagination might be easier using the standard proportional guidelines for some. Still the idea of simple drawings and not worrying about getting it right each time is incredibly important. I can see improvement in my portrait sketches within days of more practice.

    I see art like love.
    Thinking someone is beautiful only, isn’t love. But getting to understand them, and knowing them for what their actual beauty is, is love.
    Lots of artist only see art as something that looks good. That like somebody only linking another for their good looks.
    But it’s until you get to understand art, or to understand that person, that you get to see the truth in them, and you can finally focus on what matters, and what doesn’t.
    And once you get to them, or get to know art, you can finally focus on what truly matters. Making them, or you art as happy or good as it can be.

    I have always been mindful of proportions whenever I copied pictures instead of hyper focusing on what the line is doing. It tends to create this weird replica and not exact picture of my topic and I really like the way they come out, but I have been HORRIBLE with drawing without a reference. I never appreciate how complex a face is until i have to draw one without a reference. I can do sculls without reference fairly well, and eyes and lips and noses, but never all together. Im really gonna try this and attempt to get better

      Draw in pen and ink and the question of erasing won't be there anymore. You would have to carefully apply every line if you want to make it right

    You are the first to say that copying does not improve the skill and prevents drawing from imagination. I understood that myself. But most artists say "copy, because everyone is copying, we are all thieves of other people's ideas." We should not be thieves, but generators of these ideas :)

    • @DrawingArtAcademy
      @DrawingArtAcademy  3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      You misunderstood the point. Leaning drawing by copying photos is the dead-end road. But there is nothing wrong in using photos for reference when you already have strong drawing skills.

    Thanks for the reply. I really appreciate it. I am a self tought artist. I don't like drawing from the pictures or still life. Love drawing from life only. I get so much pleasure and energy doing so. There is so much magic in your drawings. Those lovely eyes. Nose lips and hair. I love drawing them. Thanks again 🎻

    Since I was little and till now, I can never draw one line and be happy. It’s unfortunately become a part of my art style. And it only frustrates me when I get something wrong. I should try using an ink pen to improve, and become less dependent on repeated sketches. There are many things I’ve taken in, thank you for this video~

    sometimes you only have pictures to use as reference, and I think they are usable if you take the time to deconstruct them
