1. Deconstruction. Don't just copy what you draw, it will only go into your short term memory and get overwritten later. Analyze it. Break it down into simple shapes, bones, muscles, and etc. Understanding what you're studying is half the process towards effeciancey. 2. Recall. Without using any sort of referance, including your previous sketchs, draw it again from memory. This will force you to think about what you are drawing. Repetition also a key factor in improving knowledge. 3. Criticism and Self-Critique. Review what you have made and see where you need work. Maybe have someone else review what you made as well. Rinse and repeat steps 1-3. 4. Breaks and Quality Sleep. Sleep is insanely important towards having a healthy mind... so keep that in mind! Also, the average adult tends to have a shoter attention span of roughly 30 to 20 mins. If your studying for two hours, break it up with 2 to 5 min breaks inbetween sessions. Your brain is like any other muscle. It needs periodic rest. So don't cram up all your free time with one thing. 5. Eliminate distractions and Multi-tasking I've always had a bad habit of doing this. Turn off distractions. No youtube. No instagram, and no Warhammer 40k audiobooks playing in the background. Maybe some non-intrusive music or white noise/rain in the background is fine. YOU ARE STUDYING. You don't see people playing Ultrakill while trying to watch John Wick in the background, do ya? Unless they are deliberately showing off. 6. Final notes: All of this doesn't just apply to drawing effectly, but towards learning overall. I already knew some of this type off a free coursera course... but I didn't really apply it very well. :I

[@Hagonzo1]

NOTES: 1. Get rid of all distractions while learning art related stuff. No social media, on phone. 2. No multitasking. Research shows multitasking will decrease focus and attention span. 3. Stop practicing for long sessions without taking breaks.

[@neetvillage]

FOR ANYONE WHO HAS ADHD LIKE I DO: what can be considered "multitasking" for some can simply be our way of regulating our level of stimulus in order to focus on a specific task. for example, I always have an easier time drawing when I am listening to music or listening to audiobooks. I am able to cope with the difficult task of keeping my mind on the art. I find this helps my memory retention as well, so much so that I can often look at a sketch or drawing I've done and the song or video I was watching at the time pops back into my head! Every brain is different. Good sleep, taking breaks, and deconstruction are all wonderful methods for my ADHD brain, but my "multitasking" is my way of regulating my stimulus levels to properly focus. Your way may be different. Try to determine when you're most focused and why that could be, and find what helps for you!

[@thejotunhelqueen]

Thank you so much! This definitely helped a lot because often to even be able to sit down and do art I have to tell my brain it can also do something else for it to even let me pick up the pencil.

[@cherrymarshmallow]

How I learned to draw, was using references. When I first started, I would go through Pinterest, and copy drawings that look cool. I would not directly trace it, instead, use foundations, and simplify it into simple rectangles and circles. Then I would put details in. I would do this when I was bored, but made sure to do this at least once a day This could be copying down pokemon, fun animals, people in fun poses, hands, etc etc. Then whenever I started getting good-ish at that, I would study a little bit of character design, shape theory, colour theory etc. Since I got all that practice, learning foundations, and learning why a artist did this etc etc. This method did leave me kind of tied to references, as any time I didn't use them, it would look completely wrong. So I sacrificed a bit of originality. But on things I practiced a lot, (general human anatomy such a hands, proportions, faces, cats, and some pokemon) I can do without references.

[@FF7Cayn]

I like Bob. He is probably going through a rough time, deep in student debts from art school, left by his girlfriend and trying his best to come by to make some change for rent and food.

I do most of what he described now with my art assignments. But I also committed to myself to improve from where I was previously. Due to circumstances, I didn’t pick up a pencil or brush for a year and thought I had forgotten all I had learned from before I stopped. But to my amazement the first painting when I started my art again was very good. Better than where I had previously left off. Apparently There is something to the long term storage memory thing, because once I committed to myself to improve in my art, my focus, 3rd eye, and concentration became clearer and the memory muscle kicked in. My mind was open and receptive to learning. It’s amazing how the brain works. *(The 3rd eye is almost like a meditative state some have described as being in the zone) Bottom line is, it doesn’t matter how you learn, the commitment starts with you, your inner self, your consciousness to achieve what you seek.

[@celestcaitlynart]

Hey, i just wanted to thank you so much for this video and information. Learning the science behind it always really helps me understand better and i definitely have been a bob for way to long. Being a bob made me fall out of love with art for many years just because i thought i was broken. i never felt like i was progressing and so it made my thoughts spiral into thinking my skill was a problem besides not being able to never retain any new knowledge. 10 years later i took a stab at art again realizing its always been my passion and what i love most but quickly ran into the same issue with the same thoughts...until i just watched this video. 🖤 Note to self: YOU CANNOT FOCUS WHEN YOU ARE OVERSTIMULATED, AND WHEN YOU CAN'T FOCUS, YOU WON'T RETAIN ANYTHING. REMOVE ALL DISTRACTIONS, TAKE SHORT BREAKS TO INCREASE FOCUS TIME AND REALLY BREAK DOWN YOUR STUDIES BEFORE MOVING ON TO SOMETHING NEW. and PS. If your passionate about it, then it's worth the work no matter how hard, or how late you are to start finally pursuing it. It's never too late to make yourself proud 💕

[@floofsnoof]

Just leaving this here for myself. Stop doing these things: - Get rid of all distractions - Don’t multi task - Stop going long periods with out breaks. (Spilt your work sessions into 25 min increments with 2 min breaks in between) Things to do: - Deconstruct your drawings and reference material. - Recall the information by attempting to draw from memory. - Self critique your art and find what you would change. - Get some quality sleep. - Repeat studies periodically throughout the year to ingrain it into long term memory. - Don’t give up!

I'm Bob learning to be a Dave. Excellent video. Very glad it's somehow made it to my feet - uh feed. (Yep, new to this too.) I appreciate your incorporating science with the art and the simple, complex, simple approach. The concept is simple while putting it into action is complex yet it boils down to Simply: practice, understanding, and practice aka review. Thank you.

[@ncshuriken]

Thanks, I didn't want to watch a whole vid, but what are points 1, 2 & 5? Can someone elaborate a bit? Deconstruction? Is that analysing things to see how better to draw them, or is it looking at other artists pics to figure out how they do something? If so, I do that already. Recall? I take it this is just trying to remember your mistakes, to avoid them in future, or is it? Spaced Repetition? Is this just a regimental routinw mindset thing like "Gonna draw everyday at 5:45 PM sharp for 3-4 hours" or "Gonna draw only in 1 hour sessions with 20 min breaks, all day" (like weight training regimes). If so I do something kinda similar, I just draw everyday for hours & hours but never set a time, or duration.

I would add, most importantly, enjoy what you are doing, obsessing or turning something into a job or chore really makes it difficult to learn and improve, so draw things that interest you.

I love the concept. Stick to ONE thing, dive into all the elements, physicality, and shape and do this repetitively as opposed to jumping about from one concept to the next as you will forget it in the long run!! LOVE IT!! For me? Eyes and noses only...but I guess I need to pick one for a time slot, and get the bits that make up the structure (bones, tendons and structures) Pick one thing till you master it, mastering something means it's yours, your left brain has slept on it, owns it and is happy.....
