>>5784381Drawing is a lot like lifting. First, you need to learn how to learn art. This is like learning proper form for different exercises and will prevent you from creating bad habits that can lead to injury (ie: wasted time/inefficient learning) in the long run. Of course, like exercise, if you just start and do something everyday, you'll improve. But it won't be efficient or targeted, and you might get discouraged and think "I can't do this".
Go to the video course thread and start learning Perspective. Do the Erik Olson "Perspective for Artists" course. Get the book "How to Draw" by Scott Robertson. Use it as a reference book while you are doing the perspective course.
Picrel is *A* curriculum you could follow. If you just want to learn drawing, Term 1, Term 2, and Term 5 are most important. The others deal with painting and specific subject matter (environments, animals).
But most importantly, draw something everyday and make it a habit. Consistency is the backbone of improvement. If you whine about "not being able to find motivation" like a lot of /ic/ does, then you won't improve. And it will be your fault, not that art is "too hard". If you lift consistently, follow proper form, follow a schedule and target different muscle areas, you can get gains. For art, if you build the habit of drawing everyday, study and practice fundamental skills, work on personal projects to apply and test your understanding, you can get gains. It's up to you.
