How can I stop being a permabeg?
I always wanted to draw from when i was in kindergarten but my visual accuracy and ability to think in 3d was very bad and got discouraged myself.
In art class everybody could accurately copy images and photos but i suffered from low visual accuracy.
And I can't think in 3d. I can't imagine a cube from some 45 degree angle because I can't intuitively grasp how I should draw angles and lengths of the corner of the cube.
And my gestures from photos also suck as I can't accurately see drawings and get proportions right so i try to copy every contour curves in process to get the proportions correct... and as a result I SUCK ASS!

I have 3 questions and i wish anyone with good knowledge would help me.
1. How can I copy accurately and get right proportions? Any book/video course? Try notans? Or croquis?
2. How can I get the 3d feels in my head? Should I try sketchfab cubes? or try memorising my rubber?
3. How can I get gestures flowy and proportionally accurate? I have 0 clues on this.

Why do /pro/s like you come here to /ic/ just to mock us? Why are you so cruel?

I want to draw like these. Like dynamic poses of multiple characters in 3d space.

nigga you need to draw from life. not your screen. your screen is flat. draw the box your phone came in. turn the box. draw it again.

1. Messure and observe. Look for negative space, spot shapes and try to replicate them. Don't work in details, always check whole figure.
2. Scott Robertson book, grinding simple forms, cubes and spheres then more complex ones. Always think about stuff that is behind your vision and its volume.
3. Glenn Vilppu, go watch him. Practice lines, how they define forms and how they overlap, practice curves. Basically try to make them go like snake haha.

You can do it anon, you are pretty decent right now.

It's really a combo of observation + form + Elder vampire Vilppu that make anyone go from /beg/ like OP to pro tier.
