One pattern I noticed among leftists, artists and all of these hobbies that attract these people is that they suck at teaching. they suck at communicating knowledge.

Maybe it is because their core is to deny reality and logic? That's why the best teachers are in logical and precise fields like math and topics like playing guitar or drawing result in "just draw" instead of giving good resources.

Drawing is largely pure practice. You can't distill it into precise, logical steps beyond "start with simple shapes" and "add landmarks", and expect to produce hot enough porn to sell in a fanbox.

its called "gatekeeping".
basically someone who has a skill will try and teach people wrong, not at all or really sloppy so these other people never aquire the skill and outdo their teacher.
that way the skilled gatekeeper can stay relevant.

True, it's an issue with self centered thought. Most leftists can only think in terms of their own identity/feelings/morality and fail to connect with their students in meaningful ways. Compassion without context only leads to isolation.

Exactly, most notable are university professors -- I have yet to meet one who can produce learning material that impresses me. They just recommend giant books with at least twice the material of the actual course and compile shitty slide shows. I'm convinced they do it on purpose, there is no other reasonable explanation. I did encounter some nicely written exams though, but that comes after you're supposed to learn the course material.

In general, that's how most skills work. I do subscribe to the idea that some people are more naturally talented at some things and thus can learn faster. But ultimately, it comes down to practicing correctly at the end of the day.

It does take actually drawing to get good, yes.

Bullshit. Every technique and fundamental can be taught using logical steps. Anatomy, for instance.
>and expect to produce hot enough porn to sell in a fanbox.
Porn artists are no better than prostitutes. All their practice and training, just so they can whore out the works of their hands making filth. It's why I never feel even the slightest bit of pitty for them when their precious styles get vacuumed up by AI that lets randos shit out 1,000 pieces that look like theirs a week for pennies to their ridiculous commissions dollars.

As someone that is naturally good at drawing, it absolutely can be trained into you. And training and education is the only way through when you hit roadblocks in natural ability.

Anon you gotta take more responsibility for yourself
No one actually knows what level you are when they make a tutorial, video, book or whatever
But these single images do help some people who are probably closer than further to the creator’s level
But since the creator doesn’t know YOU, they aren’t tailor making their content for you. Go figure
I’ll make a tier list for you when it comes art education
Best tier
>An experienced mentor and art educator who you are working with your years and it’s their full time job to mentor people and they can do what you want to
>Parents who are also artists who have been teaching you since you were a kid
The reason why these are the best is because they can tailor make their lessons for you and give you information that you need at the right time
great tier
>Ateliers and art schools that focus on fundamentals and a structured lesson plan
>art friends who are better artists than you but not so much better that the advice they give is lost
These are good because even if its a little less tailor made for you, you are put in an environment with peers who you can play off of and have stuff you have a hard time understanding explained to you better

Good tier but you can’t use only 1
>video courses and books that are recommended by most people
>general art communities
These are good but can be more mixed depending on what you find. That’s the tricky part but they’re good because you are getting information from good sources and in a community where your environment is focused on learning art. Ideally you should be learning from multiple videos, and books on the same subject and in multiple communities that are good
You should be learning from multiple videos because you the instructor isn’t there to reexplain things you don’t understand but their information is ideally structured and you learn from multiple videos on the same subject so you can hear the same information but recontextualized. This sounds like a lot of work but if you don’t understand something, its important to see how other people explain it beyond the first source
Same goes for books but the way i think about books is that they’re more like an artist’s notes. That information is only valuable if you already kinda know the information
Bad tier
>single image tutorials
>artist so much better than you that their advice is just lost on you
>spite and jealousy
Single images suck for the reasons above, but are good when you are more experienced
It’s cool to have god tier art friends but these people are busy and can’t whip your ass on how to get good and even if they’re trying to help you, they are so far away from being a beginner that they’ve forgotten why you’re struggling on things easy for them. None of this is with malice, it’s just how it is. You’ll understand when you’re older
Spite and jealousy are also just bad places to fuel your artist growth, you won’t get that far with that chip on your shoulder

Also remember, you won’t learn things you don’t respect. Don’t be the asshole you tries to learn perspective for an hour and bitch about how you don’t need it and spend more time looking for reasons why you don’t need to learn it rather than just learning it

my opinion on this is, if you are born imaginative (and i believe imagination is one of the few things youre born with a certain amount of and it cant be learned) then you will tend to draw or be creative from a young age. so as an adult it appears that youre 'naturally' good at it, when really youve been in training from an early age

Here's a liberal now

The fundamentals of everything you do are objective
Aesthetics are objective
They are measurable and repeatable

If you deny that they exist you can not transfer your knowledge. You can only hope SOME people will re-invent or guess at them on their own.

Learning perspective is learning how to properly think in 3d
If you can’t think in 3d you can’t draw
Reference helps but is limiting when you don’t understand how to rotate that object on paper
Don’t be a slave to your reference
Maybe you can do it in your head, but if you don’t know how to draw something, you don’t really understand it

Auto CAD helps, but you want to be able to learn how to sketch anything before needing to set up shit in 3d. Your process becomes a lot more efficient when you know have an intimate understanding of 3d

Just learn perspective dude. Literally every fundamental builds off it, and it doesn’t take that long to really learn it. It’s just kinda boring

I think looking at still photos and trying to draw those are important because it forces you to start from shapes that you come up with on your own, a generative process that you have to get good at in order to get good at drawing real life subjects. Learning to look with only one eye is also good, so that way your brain doesn't have to translate two seperate perspectives,

Are you a good artist? I’m looking for artist friends ever since I stopped majoring in art because the teacher was horrible, but I miss the community and notice that my progress is slower without their perspectives and input. I also miss giving encouragement and advice to others. Are you interested in collaborating on self-taught lesson plans? It would be cool to keep each other mutually accountable like the art version of a gym buddy.
I’ll post some of my art in a second

i agree that every child draws at a young age, but for some reason no one understands most lose interest and stop. i think its the imaginative ones who keep going, there are plenty people who's parents were music teachers and encouraged them to play instruments but they still didnt end up being Mozart.

Good job on picking up on this.
What I’ve noticed too is that their “guides” arent usually focused on actually teaching you what to do. Rather, them making a guide is just another way for them to brag and show off their ability.

>>510729199 (OP)
This guide does not teach a person how to draw a woman’s body, rather, it showcases the artists ability to do so.
It’s a bragging mechanism disguised as a guide to get the person more attention than they otherwise would have gotten.
So it’s a combination of that and >>510730076 this.
Real teachers won’t do this. They will give you the information in the easiest follow way, without gate keeping.
That’s why you pay them for lessons. So that they don’t have an incentive to gate keep.

Well there is definitely a difference between a parent helping a child to learn an art and a parent whip snapping to get them to learn the art because it makes them look like "good parents".
I'm not asian, but in asian households I know there is way to much of the latter.
That being said pushing through walls by work and sometimes pain is sometimes a necessary part in a person's learning process.

Most people stop because they realize they can’t draw
They don’t have the resources to learn how to correct or the discipline to power through feeling like shit. Discipline is also something given by good parents
Talented people had the support

Also art isn’t actually something you need to learn for your life, so if its hard and you’re not having fun you just give up there’s more important things in life for most people

Being that person to where art is the most important thing in their life sucks but i get it

It is because they have not been offered an incentive to properly teach.
You are essentially a stranger trying to copy something they are skilled at, for free, and expecting them to spend their time teaching you. For this reason they have no incentive to do a good job of teaching you, and so they will of course act in their own interest and use it as a way to brag instead.
They essentially turn you into a tool that they can then use to spread awareness about their own skills and abilities while keeping you unskilled and uneducated.
This is why if you ever do try to find a proper senpai it’s imperative that you incentivise them properly first and make your intentions clear.

I think creativity is definitely one of those things that's just mostly innate and can't really be taught. You can learn more things to help you better express your inner creativity, but I don't think anyone can just "learn it". So I agree to some extent. But I still believe there is a natural talent to. Just speaking from a musician's perspective here, I think there are some instruments that feel natural to people and others that don't. I personally had a natural inclination towards bass playing, but I am absolutely a dog shit guitar player. They look like similar things but they're more different than you think. The techniques that are involved in playing bass all felt natural to me whereas guitar never felt right. So yeah if I hunker down and practice, I could probably become a decent guitarist. But I doubt I'll ever get to the level of the guitar players in my band because they're pretty clearly gifted guitar players. Likewise, I doubt they could ever be as good of a bass player as myself (excuse the brag).

ok i half agree, especially the part about people stopping drawing when they found out that do it realistically is hard. in that point you need to be motivated externally or internally, either through motivated parents like you said or for the really good ones (i think) the necessity of expressing yourself or getting something out of your system.

this is a cool thread

i made a pretty good effort of teaching myself to draw, but i got derailed by the social media aspect of it. i really, REALLY hate social media (4chinz aside) and it seems like all artists of substance exist almost entirely as social media entities. as someone who never uses reddit, facebook, instagram, twitter or anything it was like getting my brain dunked in acid - the marketing, the simping, the shilling, the FOMOing and competition and humblebragging, it was too much for me, art brings out whats inside and it kept dredging up horrible things for me, so i just stopped. i think art is really cool though, my favorite is Garth Ennis and his co artists - not his stories necessarily but all his characters. anyway good luck to you artfags

You don't learn a lot of relevant things when doing a non stem degree in uni. Even so, many STEM degrees are littered with courses that are filler and only useful when pursuing a career in academics. The problem is that academia is a worthless circlejerk that no longer produces novel research. That is done by corporations in modern day. Probably why EU countries fell behind so much compared to China and US, EU countries invest heavily into research and hopes it leads to innovation in the corporate world. It just doesn't. Maybe this worked in the past but in the present with how widespread academic fraud is and how big the circlejerk has gotten it doesn't. There's no incentive to deliver quality novel research anymore. Just produce a neatly written paper that can serve as someone else's citation slop that also makes a neatly written paper with 0 actual use.

This is why, when they try to push their politics, they don't try to dumb down the language for the masses, they just lie and manipulate them instead because they assume they are retarded and they would never understand their "genius"
That's why their "memes" are "wordswordswordswords", because they can't comprehend that the other side values brevity and laconism

Step 1: Create a solid foundation. Get elementary school textbooks on mathematics, geometry, physics (optics diagrams, how lines break), biology (plant and animal anatomy). Learn basic shapes, how to draw with a compass and rulers. Proceed to high school textbooks on same subjects. Then find technical drawing textbooks - learn about technical lettering, alphabet of lines, dimensions. Then go to Internet Archive and search for "subject: Architecture" and "subject: Drawing" and sort the results by date published. Find the oldest books, look at the drawings, and ignore the text. It will help you learn about perspective.

Step 2: Increase your knowledge. Learn about the history of art, architecture and sculpting. Vocabulary terms. Chronology. The periods from prehistoric, to modern. Styles, techniques, materials, utensils. Famous landscapes, buildings, artists, their works. There is a torrent on /t/ about preserving European culture, you can find a link for European art. Learn how to read a painting, what is a composition, motif. Color mixing, color combination etc.

Step 3: Understand your purpose. Learn about the philosophy of aesthetics, and beauty. When it appeared, where it fits in the history of philosophy. Why it exists. Why it is important.

Copy with the image next to you, then draw it again but do it from memory. Then compare to original, make note of mistakes and repeat once more.

This is what i drew during pharmacy school when I was bored. Sometimes I wish I took drawing courses. I can't draw real objects to save my life but I can abstract doodle your face off

I'd say check out David finch, Aaron Blaise, Peter Han, Rodgon the artist (very cringe but damn good cartoonist), eddizart, and watch fucking Manben!
If you have an artistic bone in you body the amount of discussion and depth around art and the medium of visual storytelling is immaculate.
But yeah the best is for you to be watching other artists at work or at least trying to emulate their work.

I'm trying to learn art and a lot of the youtube tutorials suck. Most of them aren't really artists as much as they are content creators. Their youtube channel is nothing but propaganda for their art course.
What usually happens is, there's an old book (or a long youtube video of an university class). Youtuber takes this, boils it down to 20-30 minutes. Another youtuber shows up, it's now 5 minutes long. Another youtube shows up, it's the same video, but the title is now a clickbait.
Or, it's something like Marc Brunet, who every once in a while, uploads the same video "Learn to draw faces! How to draw faces! Draw faces in 7 days! This exercise will improve your faces!" and it's just the Loomis Method again and again.
Learning art is so rough.

One pattern I noticed among leftists, artists and all of these hobbies that attract these people is they are the only people that participate in these hobbies in any meaningful and productive way and people like me(politcally inept i.e i say "leftist" unironically) cant create anything but make really cool threads for my mixed raced friends on a faggot website

>Bullshit. Every technique and fundamental can be taught using logical steps. Anatomy, for instance.
You can study anatomy for years and you’ll still be shit at drawing figures unless you actually draw a lot of figures. And once you’ve drawn thousands and thousands of figures, it starts to just become part of your intuition rather than something where you have to consciously think about all of the anatomical rules and details. And you’re not necessarily going to be able to teach that intuition to someone else. Teaching is a skill of its own, it’s not something that just comes naturally just from knowing something. Most native speakers suck at teaching their native language to someone as a second language

You can still do that, retard. It costs money. A lot of it. Like it always has.

It ain't art school if there isn't life drawing.
>>510735408
More than ever before. Students get all this detailed training on some technology (that's outdated in five years, gotta go back for another degree) and in never learning to draw they never learn to think with their hands. No amount of CAD or lenses can make up for that.
Bauhaus-style arts education is and always will be the best method for teaching the majority of artists.

its a hobby
if you don't already have interest in doing it there's not much to convince you otherwise
if you do you have interested in it but got demoralized, there is help for that

You'll know you've found a good video or book or course or teacher if you see immediate progress within weeks, think about how long it takes to learn a new word, when you really focus. The language analogy is a good one, each aspect of being an artist is like a word in your vocabulary, putting it all together turns into sentences etc. the more you learn the faster it gets the more nuanced you become.

Not surprising, modern lefties can't understand those three things. They can't understand them because in order to do so you must deal with objective reality as it is.

They're just aggressively stupid with the inability to self-reflect.

That is probably the origin of that picture.
