8 The Art of Animal Drawing Ken Hultgren

11 On Drawing Trees and Nature J.D. Harding.
12 One month slide/vacation

One book per one month if i spend 4-5 h on book daily i should finish it even faster. I dont think that i will touch painting/rendering in 2016.

>have to grind at least 10k hours to git gud (employable good not elder tier god)

here's a better routine:

1.loomis - gesture
2.hampton - figure
3.loomis - face
4.bridgeman - limbs (optional, he helped me. hogarth also an option if you prefer him. just don't fall to his bro science)

keep it simple, studying is a long process.

That's gonna kill your interest in art pretty fast, and you probably won't be able to maintain it. It's also not the most efficient way to learn. Get some creative things in there too, make sure you are applying the lessons from the books.

I don't think I've ever seen anybody make plans like "do 12 hours daily" and follow through. Even studying for 5 hours a day if you're starting out will probably make you want to quit within the month.

It's far, far better to make a less ambitious goal you know you can carry out than a massive and extensive one you'll burn out on in two weeks.

You're fucking that up because that isn't a goal. You're just saying "this would be nice." That's a dream, not a goal.

You have an end date, 31/12/16. How much are you drawing now? Make an estimate. Let's say it's once every few days. Making that every day is still too vague. Set something quantifiable. Say, 1 hour a day. You now know exactly what you must do, for how long, every day. You know how many days and months you must do this. You have clearly set your task up (draw for 1 hour every day) and have given yourself an end point (31st Dec 2016). Now go and do it, faggot.

I have a crazy goal, hear me out /ic/, It's not actually art related but I believe it will indirectly contribute to my art

My goal is... to become a writer, or more specifically to write for comics (It's a small goal, plan to write for 10 comic pages a month, and then I can use said script to actually draw comics)

there's a few reasons for it. first being I completely suck at writing (you can probably tell already).
I've always hated english classes, writing essays etc. the only thing I used to be good at in school was maths and art. so I just want to personally get good on that field

Second reason is I grossly underestimate writers. I'm the kind of person who says "I don't need a writer for my comic!". so I guess the second reason is out of curiosity. just seeing what it's like in their shoes. is it really that hard/easy?

I've spent the past five days looking up writing tips and YT videos from amateur writers, and one thing I've learned is writers are more similar to artists than I thought. they have a similar lifestyle and their goals are almost the same, they are much more relatable than, say designers. they are are definitely bros


So yeah, small goal and I'm a bit nervous entering this new territory, but I guess I'll go for it

Learn how to paint quickly, confidently and with energy like Mike Azevedo
Finish a video game i'm working on with a friend and publish it on Steam Greenlight
Sustain myself completely from freelance art work/get a studio job.
Sketch a lot, brainstorm and try to learn storytelling to express one story i have in mind.

you know that muscle on the shoulder below the flat spot, it's near the big flat bone. like right below the flat part of the top of the big flat bone on your shoulder
>learning the names of the bones and muscles
>not sounding fucking retarded
>>
>>2338141
I think most people forget the names of a lot of muscles over time. The names won't make you draw well, or else all doctors would be amazing draftsmen. I have studied anatomy in depth, but that was years ago. If you ask me to name off all the extensors and flexors of the forearm I probably couldn't do it. I can still draw a proper arm though. With bones too a lot of them are not worth knowing fully. There's like 8 bones in your wrist that are all tiny and weirdly shaped. No point in learning them all.

pisiform triquetram lunate scaphoid trapezium trapezoid capitate hamate 5 metacarpals 5 proximal phalangae 4 intermediate 5 distal. knowledge is its own reason
>>
>>2338159
And while you focus your time and brain power on memorization of scientific names I will be getting better at art. Anatomy is just a tool, it shouldn't be and end in itself.
>>
>>2338168
If you can't memorize their names how can you memorize what they look like, family man?

it's not some background process that's taking away from the art cpu. you make the words a part of your vocabulary and then use them regularly

why the fuck do people treat knowledge of the body like it's some great burden. it doesn't hold you back it makes you stronger
>>
>>2338179
You don't. You don't need to know the exact shape of each individual wrist bone. You can group them together. Same with most small forms. You group small muscles that perform similar actions into one group. You can ignore deep muscles and focus on the superficial ones. You can learn simplified forms of bones.

>>2338180
Yeah but you don't need to use them. I learned all of the names when I studied it initially, but eventually you forget them because there's no need to say the names constantly. You know the forms of things and what muscles need to be drawn and what their actions are. You don't need to name every single muscle in the hand to draw a good hand.
>>
My goal for this year: stop visiting /ic/.

Good bye.
