it was a bit insane

Yeah, so true. But! I wanna make it my bitch because it's the one thing standing in front of my way to drawing good.

last month I went on Khan Academy and almost completed all of Trig in a month

It's almost a cliche among artists lol

cause I suck at math

I fucking hate it :D

It just makes sense, and I like envisioning how things work in a 3d universe

For example, I studied anatomy for years... but only since November kast year since I started studying perspective, was I able to remember what I was studying a lot better. Because my visualisation skills improved.

I actually like perspective. I know a lot of artists hate it, but I like math and it feels like math LOL

Awesome <3

Yeah that's true... but your progress could be quickened if you're studying the right things first.

28 Apr 11:15

Mechanizoid

Yes, I'm studying perspective right now!

28 Apr 11:15

Don't waste years like I did.

The real breakthrough for me was a few days ago, when I realized that progress is inevitable if you are working hard

28 Apr 11:14

smrr

Note: perspective should be focused on first!

I'm glad you see the art gain world the same way I see it man

28 Apr 11:14

smrr

Absolutely agree, there's no way around it, it's that simple <3

28 Apr 11:13

So I'm trying to get a really solid foundation in drawing first. ;-)

28 Apr 11:12

it's like polishing a turd

And then there are the people who paint okay, but the drawing underneath is screeeewed up

28 Apr 11:11

Mechanizoid

--

I see people who try to use 3d to cover up for drawing sins and stuff and it never turns out as good.

28 Apr 11:11

Mechanizoid

I think drawing is the really important basis for all we do

28 Apr 11:11

smrr

--

They don't even know what "hard work" is, even if it slapped them in the face

28 Apr 11:10

smrr

--

yeah, fuck 'em

28 Apr 11:10

I guess I was lucky that when I was lurking conceptart.org - I noticed a trend that the best of the best artists all knew how to draw

I stopped listening to such people when I realized that all the guys who can draw say differently. Why would I listen to someone who doesn't draw telling me how learning to do art happens?
