So many cool artists!!
At this stage, I’m clearly not good enough to go for painting ot even anatomy, so quite clearly my biggest issue is structure. I can understand the concept of gesturing and then applying 3d forms to form a structure, but applying that to the paper is a all new story.
Really, I can’t wait for the beginners course that Proko’s been promising. In some way, I guess I’ve been waiting my all life for it: really, I lived in a small town, where any concept of “drawing teaching” was absolutely s*it. I even had art classes where teachers said stuff like “oh, I cannot teach you how to draw better faces, that’s impossible, how would I do it?”, or even worse, the worst of the worst “what’s important is for you to release you inner self!!”. Really, NO ONE talked about gesture, structure, applying 3D forms, and so on. F*ck, it was so frustrating that I just gave up for years…
