Have any of you actually went through the entire drawabox course? What does your art look like now?

poses are good but
shoulders are kind of fucked
proportions need work
designs need a little extra zest but are serviceable depending on your story

So i open instagram once every 100 years and it's only to check out these nice drawings and for whatever reason instagram then recommends me a random ass guy that i will not mention because people here would bully the shit out of him it had the saddest below /beg/ tier drawings models and animations i have ever seen, since i speak the same language i was about to recommend him some books but i keep looking at his pics and he already had a physical copy of the animators survival guide had gone to art classes, has gone to conferences given by jim lee, then i try to understand what the fuck is going on and i see his selfies
>Oh well this guy looks old maybe he just doesn't have time for it
>holy fuck he is 24 like me and the motherfucker streams for hours on twitch

I guess some people just like to call themselves artist and i guess that's fine but it's really surprising seeing how people like this even exist i don't see a way to help him

Is there a point to these "figure drawing in X seconds" exercises ? They just seem like an excuse to make people draw a ton of stuff.
not that practicing a lot is bad but is there any benefit in doing it in 30/60 seconds.

what we mistake as "talent" is people with
1. good parents and teachers
2. someone who has the right learning style that works very well with the established and memed about learning methods
and 3. a magic autist who can just draw completely from memory somehow

to become the 1st, you at least need money and resources
to become the 2nd you need to find your correct learning style to learn when talking int
and 3 stop thinking you need to be a magic autist

People on here talk about "studying". The reality is, unless you're learning anatomy, studying doesn't mean the same thing as it would in school - you aren't memorizing information. Tutorials and Youtube teach you a pretty limited number of techniques - and, if you're interested in studying from life, once you know about comparative measurement, plumb lines, and triangulation, you're pretty much set in terms of the raw knowledge required to make progress. "Studying" is just applying those techniques in your own art and gaining mileage at it. The "just draw" crowd isn't wrong - but make sure you're actually thinking about what your exercising and why, or you're just copying from videos.

anon, this isnt studing. I mean the fact that these even have mucles tells me how lost you are. I've lost years aswell until I finally figured it out. most of us do, jeff watts mentions this in one of his vids.

What you have to do is read Perspective Made Easy and do all exercises. After that read david chealsea's perspective for comic book artists(mostly for the cone of vision part.) Then take Eric Olson's Perspective course. After that, go take proko's course, and then take jeffwatts course. Primary forms in perspective combined with gesture is the key to all. Muscle studies only work when primary form can be created effortlessly. Also grind loomis heads. Its a great primary form. Also draw a bunch of rubix cubes. Thank me later.

a good example of "talented" people giving bad advice is people telling you that you don't need to learn perspective

this is just a theory but the people saying that probably have very good spacial awareness and have some sort of grid in their head despite never learning perspective.

the people who don't have that, basically get fucked and stick out on perspective because some bad advice and need to struggle a lot more than the former if they never learn how to create that grid

OR, the people saying you don't need perspective learned it but think they never use it because they aren't created grids in the paper but don't realize how much they have that grid in their head. They're just disingenuous idiots like most artists

>I know you're probably just joking
I'm not. I found very late in life that art is what I really want to do and I have been trying to learn art between 2 and 3 years and I'm still /beg/ as fuck despite drawing and practicing everyday, only thing I have learned so far is that apparently I'm incredibly anti-talented when it comes to art to a point it shouldn't even be possible. I'm now permanently miserable due to it more than ever because what I really want to do seems to be permanently out of reach for me for reasons beyond me. I still have a boring career and stability but my life has always been empty and now I know why but can't seem to fix it.

All those free PDF download sites are scams and the books aren't on torrent sites either. Is there some resource that has a bunch of art books I can download for free? I'm particularly interested in pic related.
