Getting Better at Art

Art is fun so why wouldn't you want to get better at it? These are just my thoughts on the subject as well as some experiences I have had (yes that means art class too).

Something that I don't like about some art classes (NOT ALL), they show you step-by step and don't let you be creative or find and practice your own style. I remember taking one, where the teacher would give one of her own pieces, and tell us to do the EXACT thing, and we weren't allowed to add anything, or change it, or she would take it and throw it out.. yeah..

[@YoungYongTales]

dang...that doesn't sound fun haha

[@clips769]

Just like mine

[@vanelly5652]

I really loved my art class because, the teacher would give us a theme to practice, like silhouettes, shading with dots, or sometimes she would combine earlier themes. The catch was, there was a lot of Friday events, and it was a Friday only class, and the teacher was sick a lot so we...only got five classes. However, I still think it was great and It was the art I would put the most work into and I would be most proud of.

[@touka3405]

I met someone and they told me that “YoU uSe ReFErEnCEs, tHaTs nOt rEaL ArT.” And I really just wanted to mock them like the sponge bob meme. Anyway, I still use references to this day.

[@AtlasTheJaquin]

Same its helpful to use references to get better

[@kurapikakurta1997]

I have photographic memory and don’t need references most of the time, I only use them when I’m making an ‘Anime vs Fanart’ post. Nobody has yelled at me yet.

[@lennonbabicz968]

Yea, reference is good, if I'm drawing fanart, I always have reference

[@kyra2161]

References especially help with realism because unless you have a photographic memory it's hard to get details right

[@xX.Rintheemo.X]

Personally I don’t use a reference I usually just draw from my mind But there’s nothing wrong with using a reference

[@SDBaeson]

As a realism artist, Imma tell your how those people draw realistically: REFERENCES. They look at like 5-6, mash together what they want, and BAM, realism.

[@4Rgames]

I drew a phone without a reference because I watched too much tech videos

[@SDBaeson]

@@4Rgames I’m glad that worked for you! Non-articulating objects (think living animals, action figures) are much less complicated to draw (not necessarily less detailed) since you only need to know how one piece looks from all angles.

[@soap_dragon1509]

I use references and I am a cartoony artist.suing a reference isn’t bad.it’s not “copying”drawing some thing you like isn’t “copying” Tracing the line of the reference and claiming it’s your own is not ok it’s “plagiarism” and “copying”

This is awesome! I took a bunch of art classes and I understand they try to expand your abilities by drawing things you have no interest in, but man I didn't give a crap and so wanted to just get it over with. I had one art teacher that let me draw dragons and superheroes and she would critique me on perspective and following rules of human height and proportion, but she understood this was stuff I was interested in and was helping me make it better! She was a great teacher.

[@raventaylor954]

I took an art class in freshman year. She didn’t help grow our art skills or help us. Just yell at us if we drew in a cartoonish style But I met my 3 best friends in that class

[@xX.Rintheemo.X]

If I was in that class I will die because I don’t know how to do jealous

[@theBravoTwins.]

This is literally me, I’m a self taught portrait artist, I draw The Weeknd. I’ve always been into drawing (without color) but never tried until some time ago, I always use reference photos tho, when I started my parents thought I traced it- but no I use reference photos, my sister said it isn’t real art cuz I copy photos and it feels self diminishing, my parents still think I trace, I posted some of y’all wanna see but like still, it’s hard to make people look real without precise details and I don’t have photographic memory

[@A1phaz0ne]

1:32 "Look at things you like and draw that" That's literally what I did on breaks at work when I decided to doodle. A friend and I looked up an image we liked (Usually a Pokemon) and then we would both attempt to draw it. Afterward, compare each other's art and laugh at how bad we were at drawing. But we did it enough times that we got better. There's something weirdly motivating when you find something you like and attempt to draw it. Like, the fact you WANT to draw it makes it easier to grind through the mistakes and improve. Where as in tutorials and stuff, you're probably being told to draw something you have next to no interest in, so your patience runs out more quickly

[@jenniedraws406]

I've been drawing for 23 yrs and I still like to use reference. They help a ton especially for me when drawing in perspective. And even though I've improved over the years I tend to be my own worst critic and tend to set my goals higher and higher. In the end just like you said it's all about having fun and enjoying art and practice, practice, practice.

Being an art teacher, I tell this to my students: F.A.I.L. First Attempt In Learning. Fail at drawing people, hands, feet, chairs, a hallway. Fail again and again and again. It's okay to suck at something getting better at art means failing...a lot. A. Lot. It's part of the process and it helps you out in the long run. Use references, do visual research and do it again and again until you don't need them anymore, but it's actually encouraged to use references. You look at what went wrong and fix it, but you also look at what went right and do it again. I show my students the artwork I used to make at their age to show them that it's okay to not be good right at the start. You're not expected to. Once you accept that, it won't be as stressful moving forward.

My art curse teacher always tells us even if you don't go to an art related school drawing will help you through in many other schools like : when you decide to do medic schooling you have already learned the anatomy of a body because of those body drawings you did nor if you go into dental you will know how the mouth and the other muscles around it are constructed or if you go as a biology major you'll be able to draw and present many plants and their parts by drawing even in the case of our tofu friend creator " psychology 311" , because drawing especially if you have done it for many years you'll train yourself to see details and emotions even in a short moment , you are able to get the gist of the scenario how to break it down and put in details that you might have forgotten to do . Drawing makes you have a photogenic memory and a observational eye to your surroundings witch is great helping hand when you're doing an analysis. In conclusion if you like to draw take full advantage of it because it will help you in many great ways through out your life .😅😊🤗😺😸
