Hi everyone, so I watched the recent Proko video with Rembert Montald showing his (mind blowing amazing) sketcbook. So I thought to myself - this is something I need to do. Specifically he talked about if you were a guitarist and only ever did scales you'd struggle to make music - and I have to agree. Here's the big problem - I do not have the skill do draw things like he or other artists do - at least not yet. I've been drawing as a hobby for maybe 5 years focusing on figure drawing and more recently portraits. Despite my best efforts I still kinda suck at both... so if I was to get some reference I'm not sure I'd have the skill to translate it even to a small 'finished' sketch in a notebook. This being the case all I do is drills and technical drawing exercises (at the moment I'm doing the FORCE drawing course and portraits using the shape method - previously I've finished the Drawabox course and the Proko figure drawing course). I want to step away from this but when I try and draw something more original I just get frustrated that it looks so bad and that I can't get the drawing to go where I want or to translate what's in my head to paper. Has anyone else encountered this issue? How did you guys deal with it? I'm wondering if it's a 'wax on/wax off' kind of thing whereby suddenly from doing the drills I'll hit the point in skill where I can start doing more 'fun' stuff but really not sure. Anyway - thanks everyone! Love and Tiktoks to you all
