Will beginners actually get anything out of Loomis if they haven't grasped drawing in 3D yet? Why does every meme this guy if people aren't ready for him?
>>
If you'd actually opened Fun with a Pencil you'd notice it basically starts with exercises trying to cram this concept down your throat by drawing contours around spheres and shit.

Gas yourself

Sorry I'm right. He explains it right at the start of the fucking book, you not liking it doesn't make it not true.
>>
>>2481752

Except you're not.

All that book does is show you how to draw useless outdated cartoon mickey mouse shit from the 40s.

Confirming you've never opened the fucking book and you're too butthurt to understand that the purpose of those shitty cartoon faces is learning construction and form.

Did the OP ask whether Loomis lives up to the hype? No. The question was if Loomis works as a starting place to someone who doesn't understand drawing in 3D. Fun with a Pencil addresses exactly that. Cry about it if you want.

I'm working through fun with a pencil and am a fresh start artist so I can tell you as a matter of fact that it is worthwhile and I am noticing improvements.
>>
>>2481665
Because I used to assume that people who came here at least had some basic drawing ability.

Like, if you're over 18 and never picked up a pencil before, why even bother trying? You have no hope.

You don't have the spark.

Yes, now do it.

I am new to this board. I have just had this same thing said in my first thread here. Is 'You don't have the spark' an /ic/ meme?
>>
>>2482670
yes, though OP is aggressively pushing it everywhere today
>>
>>2482670
Leave while you have the chance and never come back.

Some of us are stuck here for eternity.
>>
>>2482675
Ok :(
>>
>>2482670
No, a loser or two who are more interested in board culture and memes than art are trying to push it right now. They did the same thing with "blog?" a little while ago.
>>
>>2482721

No, if you don't have the spark/talent you should not bother, and he shouldn't.
>>
>>2482721
>blog?
Haven't been on here for awhile, isn't this just the usual question?
>>
>>2482731
It's sometimes asked as a serious question, usually phrased as more than just blog? though, however it was being spammed in response to random posts containing obviously low quality work to be sarcastic. It's died off recently though and seems to be replaced by this spark thing.

>>2482728
I know what the term means, I'm not saying it's not an existing phrase or idea. However it is not only wrong and against basically what ic exists for, but is being spammed in a similar way to random posts with low quality work. Again you can generally tell because the shitposter only says the spark line the same way they only said blog?.

This a million times.

You obviously don't start with head construction as a newbie.
>>
>>2481665
They won't get anything out of Loomis if they don't have the spark.
>>
>>2482888
Fuck off with this meme. Speaking as someone who learns abnormally quickly and has triple ligameme, it's just wasting time. Mileage is the only way to get gud
>>
>>2481707

>im still shit and its fully fault of the books
God, we dont need these kind of "artists" anymore
>>
>>2481671
>>2481758

I did forget about this. But is that really an effective way to understand drawing in 3d? Unlike the other good books Loomis doesn't seem to advocate very explicitly drawing from life a lot.
