>>5798180OK, I'll just post a quick summary here.
Let's go with understand art as learning English.
Learning accuracy (sight-sizing, proportion, copying the shapes right etc) = Learning how to recognize the 26 alphabets and write them correctly.
Drawing shapes in 3D = spelling words. Let's treat each shape as a word. Complicated shapes = complicated words and simple shapes = simple words.
Construction = now we put those words (shapes) into a sentence. For example, with just a few basic 3D shapes, we can construct a bird. So we can look at a bird as a sentence we formed using words. A horrible beg-level drawing of a bird is really just a sentence written by a 6 year old riddled with grammar mistakes and spelling errors.
Thus, when we produce a completed artwork, what we are really doing is writing a short story.
So after all this crap, how do we study art then? Remember, the end goal is EXPRESSION. So what we do is to practice how to EXPRESS ourselves. For example, you want to draw a cute anime girl sucking the dick of a tranny. Let's treat that as a sentence you want to write in English but you have no idea how. You go to the internet and see how other artists wrote that idea as a sentence. Whether you want to plagiarize the entire sentence for learning purposes or just take a few ideas from different people and use that as the basis to write your own sentence is up to you. If you don't understand the sentence you see, you need to break it down into something you can understand and/or google any questions you have. Either way, don't get trapped in the analysis hell and just write that damm sentence down even if it looks like shit. Ideally you will have a teacher who will point out the mistakes you made and with the feedback you get, you can improve on your sentence or start writing a similar one.
