fauna posted:i wonder what the expiry date is on old art embarrassment? i can look at stuff i made up until about 18 and find it endearingly terrible (i'm 30) but anything after that i just can't bear to look at. it takes about twelve months now for something i draw to go from "that looks ok" to "oh gently caress please don't make me ever have to see that again." i think it's why i only do abstract art now. i hate looking at my hosed-up old human drawings, even badly-drawn buildings make me cringe myself inside out, and i can't imagine it will ever be any different so i've just stopped trying. what's the point in making art if you can't take any joy in what you made? You can flip this thinking into "look at how much better I am now than back then!". I want my old stuff to look like poo poo (a bit over exaggerating) compared to my new stuff. I work as a developer and if I looked back at code I wrote at university and didn't feel embarrassment and instead thought "This code looks great, I would write it exactly the same today!" then that would mean that I hadn't improved since then.

Your Computer posted:I have no idea where to post this so I'm just gonna shoot my question here: I've been doing 3d modeling and sculpting for many years, but I never learned how to draw and I want to! I'm no professional but following this really helped me get going: https://drawabox.com/ It gets you through the fundamentals techniques of actually drawing (holding pen and making lines) and will then move on to teaching you construction so you can draw things that look 3D. And since you've already familiar with 3D I'm guessing you will have an easier time taking those lessons in. Although you will not be getting any pretty drawings from the lessons for the first weeks/months and many of the lessons are not what I would call "fun" so you should not do Drawabox 100% of your drawing time. The course even tells you to split your time 50/50 between the lessons and drawing for fun to not get burned out. I've finished 5 of the 7 lessons and it took a looong time but it really improved my skills. Proko also has great tutorials on figure drawing and a bunch of the lessons are free: https://www.proko.com/course/figure-drawing-fundamentals/overview
