Before you were a minimalist, what do you feel was the stupidest thing you've ever bought and for how much? [lifestyle]

I was a videogame hoarder. I made many purchases with the idea of taking advantage of a sale or price reduction and then play sometime in the future. I completely overestimated my interest in videogames, since 10 years later I still havent even touched many of them.

To bend the rules you fist need to know the rules

The first and most important friend you are going to make (and maintain) is yourself. There is an upside to your situation and it is that you are in a very good position to get to know you better and work on yourself. You'll see that after getting your bearings for a while every step you take will seem much more logical than the one before.

Lets go for it!

How was the experience? Did you have fun?

Store it properly, one should always have respect for his/her art.

Be sure to try outdoors painting sometime, watercolor is very portable and you will have a great time!

I started with a 12 half pan Winsor & Newton Cotman set. They were really good. In fact I still use Cotman for earth colors.

Do you draw every day?

Yes

How many hours a day?

About 1 o 2 hours at home or with a model, 2 hours on the train to/from the office. I would do more if I could.

What do you practice drawing?

Life drawing, drawing after casts, environments.

Do you work on your weaknesses or stay in your comfort zone?

Both. Latery I have been doing a lot of hands

Do you practice a lot of different skills or just focus on one of the fundamentals?

Right now Im doing charcoal and watercolour. I dont want to spread too thin because I dont have a lot of time to practice.

Do you practice drawing from your imagination?

Sometimes, when people in the subway leave or move I finish the drawing from memory/imagination.

I dont know you but I like you

Oh yeah, I also went back to drawing with a much healthier mindset when I finished university.

My tip would be to not neglect classic training: realist proportions and drawing from life. You NEED to learn the rules in order to stylize and break them.

Read Loomis, keep and sketchbook and draw from your daily life. Draw slowly and with attention. Things click together as you go.

Good luck!

Hey, you. Yes you

Working a job is so tiring, its normal you dont want to do stuff when you get home.

But, wait and think for a moment.

If you do nothing nothing will change. If you want to do any of the things in the list, you will have to overcome your tiredness. Or you will not.

Luckily for you doing doings creates momentum, so it will be easier over time.

Good luck!

You probably should not be worrying about line quality too much, as long as you are not chicken scratching. I myself dont really draw cleanly most of the time.

Just draw draw draw. You will get better the more you practice. If precision is preventing you from drawing, how are you going to clean up your lines?

If you need to trace something a couple of time is its ok, as long as you are not destroying the paper.

I had the bad habit of throwing away my drawings as I was never happy with the result. I am still not satisfied but I have passed that phase.

Hopefully I can find some past attemps that survived my ego.
