not unkind, but you assume I don’t try.
I call myself an idiot because I am part of the human race, and that implies a certain… inability to change, even knowing better.

Well there’s idiots everywhere.
I see one in the mirror everyday.
11·3 天前I’m sorry. It’s treatable though. Don’t worry.
Doc prescribes for you to try Devuan or Artix for a while.
I understand that you survived, but being treated that way is not alright.
What a shame.
I’m sorry you had to go through that.
Anybody can be a dipshit. It’s important to know that anybody includes us too.
They laugh with us. That means we laugh too. Should give it a try.
One thing I didn’t say in my other comment.
Drawing like a child is a compliment. Children are yet free and mostly unburdened by the aesthetic demands of adulthood.
I used to teach this shit. And my opinion is that people make this more complicated than it is.
Want to learn? Awesome!
So… uh real shit, try to do quick drawings / paintings (using a timer) with a model (can be living or not). Think 1 minute, 30 seconds, 10 seconds. Doing this consistently (like drawing people in the public transport, which is time limited by default) will make you better at observing and putting those observations to paper.
The other key is to TRY to draw the model and not your IDEA of the model. This often implies painting/ drawing a bunch of amorphous blotches as opposed to straight clearly demarcated physiological features.
Happy arting!
echo chambers are like feedback loops FUN! but watch the feedback or you will leave with bleeding ears
The big problem is discerning when you’re playing chess against a pigeon, and when you’re acting like the pigeon yourself. “I would never” - a pigeon
Example: notice how we clearly see David, and David’s eyes, nose, cheeks, mouth, hair. However, notice how this isn’t really the case, we see a bunch of shades of gray.
If you wanted to paint using this model you would try to first observe, REALLY LOOK at his face and try to notice what stands out. What characterizes him to you? What would you ABSOLUTELY need in making him look like him (since you have limited time, as you’re in the transport).
After that you would attempt to add lines or strokes to your page while observing your model, looking at the page only to calibrate and execute strokes.
The process is intuitive, takes time to develop, but IF you can laugh at yourself, it’s pretty fun throughout, ELSE it will be painful at the beggining, cause (at least for me) my first tries looked terrible, but with time, they looked less terrible and so on.
