I've tried a thousand times to start learning how to draw, and all the times I've failed. Is it me or the teachers?

  1. If you can't start and continue learning how to draw, then there may be many decisive factors, and in rare cases, it's all about the teachers. I'll try to help with the solution:

    1. You need to start with the definition, ask yourself leading questions:

    • do I really have a sincere desire to start drawing?

    • do I enjoy the process of drawing or am I annoyed by it?

    • what do I want to achieve in this craft, what are my goals?

    Having answered these questions, we can conclude: whether it is necessary to go this way or not, whether it is your own desire or imposed.

    1. Clearly define your goal and take responsibility for your decision, if you have already firmly decided that you want to learn how to draw and this is your sincere desire.

    2. It is worth understanding right away that training in any case will be boring and not particularly interesting at first,but it will be very useful. Having gained important knowledge and worked out techniques with a teacher, it will be easier for you to draw the pictures you want. In order not to lose your passion – in addition to training exercises, draw what you want, using the techniques you have learned.

    3. And yes, not everything will always work out right away, because you need to spend a lot of time, effort and energy on developing any craft. So try not to give up and if suddenly this happens, you should always look back at the path you have traveled, look at your results, remember your goal and continue to go to your dream, because nothing is unrealistic!

  2. You need to not only start, but also continue!) And what do you mean by failure? Lost your desire? You need to understand exactly why you want to acquire this skill. And then, I think, everything will work out. Well, it's cool if the teacher inspires.

    Or by failure, do you mean the work that didn't work out? The “expectation” and “reality” effect? In this case, it is better to be patient and practice more.

    It is also very useful to choose a theme that you would like to paint on. For example, the sea. And first, try to copy the technique of famous artists. Many great people began their journey with imitation.

    By the way, about teachers… If you have doubts about your teachers, start watching videos on YouTube. There are excellent channels where experts teach step-by-step drawing. For example, the Proko channel. Well, get some textbooks. I would recommend Betty Edwards 'book” Discover the Artist in Yourself”. In general, there would be a desire… Good luck!

  3. Hello, Peter! my name is Anna. What do you mean, you tried to learn to draw? Have you drawn cartoon characters or tried to draw a chair or portrait from life? How did you try to draw?

    Do you think that artistic mastery is also considered a profession and why this art is also studied for six years at the institute? Everything is simple. Artistic technique is neither one, two and done. You think you're drawing what you see, when in fact you don't see what you're drawing at all. This is what they study for six years at the institute. See what you're drawing. How?

    Example: put your hand in front of you on a piece of paper and circle it. Did you succeed? This is exactly how you draw any object when you draw. You can see clear outlines and nothing else. Did you get a three-dimensional hand in your picture? No.

    Now close your eyes and do not put your hand in front of you, but try to repeat the drawing with your eyes closed. Imagine your hand and draw what you see. See what happened? That's how you actually see what you're drawing right now. Repeat this exercise, and you will notice that each time the hand will get better and better. Soon you will begin to feel it, seeing it with your eyes closed. That's the whole point of being an artist.

    You should not look, but see every object that you write in the picture. You will begin to see it only when you know its structure. Artists study for six years, and then draw everything they see from memory. They develop techniques and techniques.

    At first, various master classes can help a lot, but their disadvantage is that you still do not have a master who, for example, in case of failure, could correct the error. You have a fear of making a mistake and ruining the picture, and this leads to the fact that you become a mediocre artist who does not see beyond his nose.

  4. Are you sure that you failed? Who acted as a critic, just yourself? I am also engaged in painting , and to put it simply-the bar is high, I am also dissatisfied, I see shortcomings . And I will honestly say that a real artist rarely likes his work 100 %, read how great creators were extremely dissatisfied with their masterpieces, I advise you to read the book “Torments and Joys”, I wish you good luck in your work and more confidence.

  5. Didn't you manage to copy through the cells? There is a proven way to learn how to copy using the shifter method , when the image is inverted one hundred and eighty degrees, your gaze does not pursue any goal other than repeating what your green sharp eye sees.

  6. What do you mean-failed? Not everyone likes sleek classic portraits! Everyone's self-expression is different! There are no clear canons in art right now. If you have a desire to create – create! If you want to earn money on this , you will have to adapt to the customer and still learn…
