Know Exactly What You Need Practice Next To Make Better Progress | Sketchbook

If you want to make consistent progress in your art and drawing you need to know what to practice next.
In this sketchbook tour I describe (and show) my cyclic process from micro projects, to accessing learning opportunities, to practicing, and back to micro projects.

i am still so happy that i found your channel! i feel like you are so relatable and i am learning alongside with you. i am around 11 months into drawing (started end of last year, dove deep into practice in february) and learning so much through the method you mentioned in the beginning. i come from an academic background (currently dong my master's degree!), so i know how i learn and analyse my writing on a daily basis. i think a lot of this mindset has transferred to how i approach drawing and therefore i have had a strong learning curve so far and am pretty happy with that. keep going, your channel is amazing!

Thanks lightmystery! Good luck on completing your master’s degree. I actually have 2 master’s degrees ☺️ so I know the process. But yes I think the discipline you are showing will definitely get you moving in the direction you want to go. I can’t wait to see where we end up eventually. Best of luck in your journey! Check back in in a bit let me know you you’re doing. Thanks.

Great video once again! In less than 2 minutes you gave me a lot of useful information. Also am really impressed by how detailed you can get with such small drawing!

[@canilearntodraw2579]

Thanks Dev. Appreciate the feedback. Yeah I’m noticing that some of Kim Jung Gi’s drawings are actually rather large!

I mostly struggle with observation. While I draw the drawings seem correct. But after five minutes, they seem off.

[@canilearntodraw2579]

Hey gergo32, if that is happening normally it is an issue of not doing enough comparisons along the way. Start off with very big comparisons first like where is the middle horizontally and vertically. Get that marked out in the page. Then draw quick lines to represent the major shapes as they align with those mid points. Then check those basic lines against each other … where these two supposed to line up? Should one be higher lower? More to the left or right than the other. Make sure everything lines up at every step along the way. The more you put into this practice the better you will become and the faster you will get at it. Hope this helps.
