I think I too am breaking the mold of art school teaching haha. It’s strange, yet poetic, to cycle all the way back to “I draw this way because I like it”
As someone who just finished one semester of life drawing for the first time it changed how I view art so much also thanks to my professor, I had started the class trying to make every line perfect and I focused so much about the little details, but my professor told me one time for gesture drawing to not focus on the model but the energy and the movement and to have fun with the charcoal stick and to not limit ourselves to textbook thinking
Time to do some life drawing again 💪😤✍️
life drawings always opening my eyes and you just did it again
I'm so SO glad I subscribed, each of your new videos is a natural treasure. Thank you so much!
Awesome video!
I’m taking life drawing in the fall and I’m trying to get better- this video has been refreshing in the sea of anatomy tips and tricks I’ve been seeing! + Your storyboarding skills are amazing :D
Thank you for your insight! After a year and a half of life drawing almost every day (at least 1-3 times a week) I feel like I've hit a plateau. I know I need to do something different but there is a lot of fear holding my art back these days despite years of knowing that change comes from leaving your comfort zone. I really want to keep in mind the bit about imagination. I've done so much life drawing that when I try to draw from imagination without a model in front of me, it's the most daunting thing in the world. Your advice about experimenting more with life drawing feels like it will bridge that gap.
This is amazing. Such good advice.
Now you should do a follow up video on how to tolerate the restraints of learning "properly" when you're so tired of it and just want to do more free stuff but don't yet have the skill to do it well so you NEED to do the studying, but it's so annoying to just constantly be studying and any attempts you make at NOT studying aren't satisfying and don't result in something you're proud of so you just feel stuck studying the "proper" way and never feeling satisfied or rewarded by your work.....
... definitely not requesting this advice out of experience or anything.... 😭 lolol
I think you should let yourself make those “bad” drawings. Drawing from imagination is very different from practicing and well… you are skipping the part where you learn to draw from imagination! Of course it will look worse, it’s a different skill. I’m the complete opposite of you, I never actually sit down to practice because my practice drawings look terrible (well for me anyway) so I just keep postponing it, however when I draw from imagination, they look great. I use a lot of references when drawing so in a way this is practice too, I hope you know that you can use references while drawing from imagination.
love this video! I'm so motivated to life draw!
This is great advice! And I also just love all the drawings you do to serve as a visual for the videos. Your style is so fun and expressive, and it's cool to see that art used to tell the story of how you developed that style in the first place!
Thank you for the wonderful pearls of wisdom
Love the video! Thanks for this ❤
Another banger video! Having this "Ah-ha!" Moment definitely helped a ton with my life drawings too.
I started going to life drawing sessions with the same ''efficient'' approach. There was a guy transforming his drawings and going all crazy with fantasy. That opened my mind to such a fun world. I still feel that i needed those few sessions of actually learning anatomy and smashing my head against the drawing, but now im free! And its so fun
Thanks Daniel i needed this
This rocks Daniel!
Haha 100% accurate take on life drawing.
So helpful! So cool
Yeah!
Art helps us find who we are and what we injoy. Well l am still trying to finding
Excellent good video
Thank you 🥺💖
I think there are hidden (or some not so hidden when looking at old drawings, lol) stages to progression.
It takes a lot of time to understand proportions. Some people start life drawing before they even have solid hand/eye coordination with the paper and drawing method. Anatomy is something else you mention.
All of those elements get REALLY confusing for a new artist. I think a great art teacher of life drawing would ensure that each student is focusing on the element of the student that could use the most improvement or which piece of the foundation needs to be laid first.
Complete beginners generally have little business focusing acutely on anatomy in any way more than the most basic shapes, since they can’t even get the gesture of the pose, after all.
It takes time for everyone new to life drawing to get comfortable enough to recognize (if not instructed) what they should focus on in a particular session, and with that, they can simplify because they aren’t trying to do 50 different novel things for themselves.
Preach brother, preach. Life drawing is one of those things that seem so stressful. But once you realize it dont matter and its just for you; it becomes so fun.
i love you
