Drawing from Imagination: Debunking 4 Myths and Sharing 5 Tips!

[@fusiontide5078]

I recently found your channel while I was in a bit of a creative slump today. Although I have not been officially diagnosed with ADHD, it has been suggested that I suffer from it (along with OCD). I constantly have an active imagination and a day doesn't go by where I imagine drawing a character of mine from DnD or some other source. Your ADHD vid helped put things into perspective for me, especially with leaving with a drawing that makes you happy. Just wanted to say thank you for sharing all this info for us. It helps me get out of mental ruts I may put myself into when I overthink things like drawing and routine.

What's the best beginner friendly art program?

[@MangaMikeLee]

Hmm that’s a good question. By art program if you mean software I would say that they all kind of function the same way, clip studio is geared more towards comic creators while photoshop is a little more powerful. If you mean program to learn how to be an artist I would recommend Scott Harris’s course on udemy called complete character drawing course. It’s a really solid course that gives you a sprinkle of fundamentals and great tools to be a successful artist later.

@@MangaMikeLee what about Marc brunet's course? Did you abandon that?

[@MangaMikeLee]

Not at all! I still use it almost every week to check what I am doing and see what stuff I missed. My suggestion above is mostly if you are just trying to get started with art and not worried about being a professional. @@cykali5655
