>>5844050>If you can't get used to the stomach-churning feeling of a lack of orientation, guidance, hope or direction, you will not succeed.true.
>Also, all art is composite and tracing is exactly how it feels to draw at a high level.this statement is so ambiguous and unfounded that it's hard to know what you're even trying to say. you think a pro who builds up forms with loose raggy lines "feels" like he's tracing?
>The things you praise japanese for can be boiled down to three elements:"great artists steal." also no. japan is popular because art in the west is at its nadir.
>You don't actually learn anything from doing studies, they just *force* you to use a process or behavior that will actually get you the results you're after.if it forces you to develop a skill through instructed behavior that literally is learning. studies are especially good for younger students who are still teenagers. kids have an especially hard time doing anything that isn't emulating their favorite game or tv show.
>Analysis is vastly superior to practice, and a perfect understanding will translate itself beautifully to canvas every time.demonstrably untrue. everyone would be an artist if it was just a matter of opinion. also the only analysis worth listening to come from people with years of uninterrupted practice.
> You learn way more by analyzing large quantities of data i.e. reference hoarding and its infinitely superior to educational materials which reinforce rigid worldviews and bad habits. I would agree if by "analyzing" you meant drawing studies.
>There is an upper speed limit to hand-made digital art that can be shattered *entirely* with good macros, custom brushes, references, pre-prepared assets, 3d, and plugins.wow you can make hand made thing faster if you don't make them by hand? whoa...
almost at character limit but here's a red pill- people like you are why beginners should gtfo off /ic/. this board is so certain about so much bogus advice.
