Yeah, but hhhhhoooowwww???? 😭
Can confirm a cheap drawing tablet is cheaper than new triple AAA video games... or at least mine was a few years ago. Don't know about now, but I got mine for somewhere around $40-something ( before any tax and shipping and handling ) from XP-Pen ( Star G640 ) and although it's not super fancy, it's pretty good for the garbage digital art I have made in the past.
Though, I will also say you can also easily get a cheap notebook and some cheap pencils and bam! You have the materials to learn to draw, especially considering you most likely already have access to the Internet, which is one of the best and worst ways to help you learn to draw due to the sheer amount of resources out there.
I wish I knew how to learn how to draw. It seems fun but I lack direction.
I expected this list to devolve and include such classics as "stay up nights crying about why you can't get hands right", "come to truly recognize how many weird fetishes there actually are", etc.
Was pleasantly surprised.
Not really everyone. I have aphantasia, can't draw what I can't see.
Being able to visualise something helps but it isn't mandatory. Glen Keane for example has aphantasia and he was an animator and character designer for several hand drawn Disney movies.
I have a friend who has aphantasia, but she can still draw somehow. Drawing from observation and using reference images isn't bad either. Every artist does it.
Sure, I might be able to rotate a 3D cow in my brain, but I still need to look at a picture if I want to make my drawing look really nice or somewhat realistic.
Visualizing in your head isn't really that useful for painting. It is more reliable to do little thumbnails, blocking the general shape or sketching first.
Me too, but using a reference picture means I have something to compare to for getting proportions right.
Only problem with my aphantasia is that I can't picture or have any vision of what I want to draw. I know if I learn the basics I can recreate it. It's just I lack the vision or even desire to create something
The underscore on 30…
