Can you learn to draw on your own?

Question

Design

3D modeling and everything connected with it is my hobby. I decided that I need to move on and develop, what is the actual question. Is it possible to learn to draw from scratch, to a person who can only draw a swaston with a pencil? Are there any suitable online courses or how best to do this?

Answer 1

You can, if you have enough patience and the desire does not disappear. As my art teacher used to say: the ability to draw is 10% of talent and 90% of work. To put it simply, find a couple of books for beginners about proportions, chiaroscuro, color and composition, read them, and draw a lot, a lot, a lot (16 hours a week will be fine to start with). Preferably from nature, but you can take a photo (the result will take longer to wait, and there will be problems with color perception).
As you get a little comfortable, you can begin to study anatomy and perspective (also from books).
I saw people who practically from scratch got excellent results by studying on their own, but this is not fast. If you were not an artist in a past life, get ready to give at least a couple of years of your life just to stuff your hands and eyes, with a teacher, of course, faster, but not by much. It will take another two years to polish his skills, but then there will be an increase in skill, and he doesn’t have a cap, the more you draw, the cooler you draw.
By the way, there are altruists on YouTube, to whom you can send your work from time to time for control. They will tell and show: what is wrong, and what to strive for next.
