      as stan said, focusing on what you want to learn and practicing only that subjects rather than just following 10000 hrs rule

      When something is difficult for me to draw, I know I am on the right track. When that happens, I look at the references online and try to learn by looking and observing. After that I try to draw what I understood, not what I saw. Rinse and repeat until I am satisfied with the results.

      Drawing what you love lets you learn the things you need and makes problem solving less daunting. Of course you need to keep in mind what you are practicing, but wrapping that into a topic you enjoy is just a great way not to get disheartened.
      For example drawing a cool looking elf archer girl still requires you to focus on gesture, proportion and anatomy... but it feels more at home than just drawing a random figure! (Unless you are falling behind on drawing human ears, tough luck then...)

    I think its primarily one thing: Intense desire for mastery as a result of a deep passion for your craft. Whether it's for intrinsic or extrinsic reasons, the commonality is a passion to make great work. From this point, everything else emerges. You find the paths to take because it's very important to you. It's something you care about deeply. That's where deep learning naturally comes in and seeking out the best learning materials and critiques for your work among other things. This is why people drop out of school and go on to become wildly successful, they see the through-line and do what they think is best for them. Live your life that way and you'll definitely end up somewhere interesting.

    When I was a child, I received high praise at an early age because I was good at art. This led me not to practice and stunted my growth. I thought I was already good so why practice, right? It wasn’t until I was an adult that I realized I had a lot to learn and a lot more practice to do.

    @contiguouscake9461 3 роки тому +11

    Regarding "how to practice improvisation?" (from the perspective of blues and jazz): Transcribe - i.e. a master study. For example, learn Miles Davis' improv on 'so what'.
    Play the chord tones over the chord progression - teaches you how each note sounds in relation to each chord in the passage
    Play scales over the chord progression - teaches you the 'in between' notes of the chords being played
    Play with the melody - take the main melody of the song (usually the part that can be sung/has lyrics/is played first by the lead instrument) and slowly incorporate embellishments. In essence, a good solo/improv will be closely related to the main melody.
    There's more, but this is a great start for most learning how to improv. You need to build your 'vocabulary' of musical phrases to use. It is very much like learning a language.

    For deep learning, proper analysis and consideration of weakness is vital. To identify the absolute most important areas of study to focus on, and for each area to identify the most important elements that will allow you to move towards your goals fastest. Really take the time to consider this as the better the insights, the more effective you can be. You know you've hit the jackpot when you find a tiny detail that when extrapolated will completely transform your entire process and the way you approach your practice. For art, something like perspective and form is great to nail early on, but something potentially less obvious to nail (for my goals) is the art of expression. To tap into what inside of you and unleash it. Some people do this intuitively, some of us need to focus on our mental health for years to get good at it lol.
    My greater point is that there's always something a layer deeper to target and conquer that will revolutionize your practice with each new evolution. Something that extrapolates through the entire chain of mastery and gives you a 1.5x multiplier each time you conquer it. Those multipliers *really* add up the longer you keep at it.
    Personally, my discoveries come through frequent observation of the craft in question and identifying all commonalities I can come up with that the best craftsmen / works have. Trying to figure out the things that they can do that seem important that I'm not good at. The better you get at what you do, the more insights open up. You find increasingly important observations as your intuition improves.

  • @ivoduarte7166
    @ivoduarte7166 Рік тому +1

    Interesting Side note:
    There is also another layer to the brain growth, related to brain areas,
    During new activities you are mostly using the prefrontal cortex to keep focus and manage the overall task, but the prefrontal cortex is a sort of manager, not a specific motion controller, it is a conscious process, highly dependent on sugar and wears down quickly.
    With repeated practice, those motions are migrated and stored at the cerebellum, where automatic processes function on the background, like walking, or riding a bike, or driving, or playing piano.
    You can then build upon those skills by spending conscious energy again on further developing those gestures, because you can now focus on more things.

    I want to share how much I appreciate your content. Let me introduce myself first that I was a draftsman in high school 1998, and we drew machine parts mostly about machines like lathe or drilling. My point is, I was told that our drafting skills was no longer relevant and was obsolete. I was hurt because I felt I was not valued. Fast forward, I have my own studio now doing manga, and the gap of learning about the arts of drawing from that time when I was high school up until now where I have background in multimedia computer science and some background in architecture, I kind of learning it from your podcasts...they are very useful and replenishing...

    13:42 "You can get good at something by focused strategic practice that is just a little bit beyond our current abilities."
    I think this needs to be emphasised. The way they focused so much on getting outside your comfort zone and seeking mistakes made it sound like you should be throwing yourself in at the deep end and constantly moving on from things the moment you start to get comfortable. That approach is not supported by anything I've read and does not seem to be what this book is advocating either.

    Hey Marshall, i understand your point of not caring about sports. All my life i ve never cared about teams, i remember when i was a child people around me watching futbol (or soccer however its called) and it was tremendously boring (im from south america, futbol is a big thing here). I do liked basketball but i have never cared about watching matches. Same for video games. At first i though it was because i rather "play" those sports/game rather than watching them but then i noticed i do liked to watch sports when in context with a movie (ie. a movie about sports). Now i think i don't care about competitions (including Olympic games) because, for me, they just dont tell a story, and i feel separated from whatever is happening there. Anyway that's what i have concluded xd. Cheers!

    (Opinion before watching :D)
    Outside of exceptionally good memory conditions and such, i do not believe in talent, not a bit, because its asociated with being from birth you are meant to have that x talent you have and it just doesnt go that way. Not for nobody, the issue is it takes a long life and psychological profile to notice a few patterns in your life that pushed your brain to have "a feel" of what works. There's a ton of ideas, concepts and how they come to be that can be talked about, its a condition that can have different degrees of "talent", and sometimes can be nurtured from mere casualities (or influences) at a really young age that push their "do art" (or, insert any activity/career) development on and on, which people dont tend to remember (or be conscious of it) and the ones around them just arrive to the point "that person has talent, i do not". But as this is only a youtube comment, perhaps it'd be better to hear for people in the comments on how do you become talented...
    Select an artist, or collect art, that greatly inspires you, dont perhaps over analyze it, be like a kid, feed yourself on it, get a feel for all that you like and all you'd want to use to transmit what you wanna show in your art, at least at first it'll influence you to start out, at the same time you might have a big sheet of paper where to do scribbles, whatever you want... have fun with a pencil!, sometimes practice different pencil grips, (the longer finger grip, which is like writing, but you stretch your fingers longer to grip it and place them a bit more back from the tip of the pencil, now vary between swinging your fingers to you whole wrist to draw, its a great upgrade from writing grip, and serves better for ""regular"" sized drawings, on a 11×14 sketchbool for example), one of my favorite exercises may be the scribbles but at least now doing straight, curved, zizagging lines and circles, rectangles, boxes, tubes, etc... as a huge mark making warm up, has been a very valuable thing, small, big, across the page, ontop of each other, repeating one ontop of itself a few times before moving to the next, etc... its an excellent exercise to just jump into for a few minutes a day... then these three together (art influence, scribbles, mark making) keep doing them for as long as it breaks out of your day routine and you enjoy it, maybe for a month, maybe let it remain in your training tools as you study big subjects, but these are greatly valuable for developing a sense of "talent" inside you.

    And, I 'm sure as teachers you have a zillion other 5-10 minute warm-up exercises that actually also qualify as what Coyle is referring to as chunking exercises intended to broaden art students' skill sets.

    The Brazilian way of practicing football, is actually the way most poor Latin American kids learn to play football. Because they couldn't afford a "real" ball, they made a smaller one made out of cloth (originally) that doesn't bounce. And they play on the streets. In my country it's called "indorfútbol," although it's played outdoors (nobody really knows the name's origin).
