The quickest way is to embrace truth.

As much as I hate to admit, I am still a beginner.

important shit

"good drawing" means a great deal more to the professional than to the beginner. It means a figure must be convincing and appealing at the same time. It must be of idealistic rather than literal or normal proportion. -Loomis

If you are stuck..

Learning to draw is special...
a lot of the times I hear and read about people being stuck and don't know how to progress
the answer is to keep drawing what you want to draw and then you'll find the answer
"You'll learn things you never knew you never knew."

I'm thankful for friends, family, and dream making.

How you know

You don't question breathing, you don't breath you die.


You'll have an urge, almost an obsession and you have to let it out.

Just important notes.

phew.....

bad drawing day

A thought and feeling.

Are people just afraid to over exaggerate proportions these days?
Or maybe its a lack of understanding how to?
Or maybe they're still just young?

It'd be easy to blame the generic anime proportions... but that feels too easy to be the case...
It'd make sense because its a lot of peoples inspirations for drawing...
I'm looking too deep most likely.

My heart won't stop pounding.

I just "finalized my story."

I've heard about things like laughing at your own jokes, but I'm guessing its okay to cry at your own story.

We're getting there.

Deep artist stuff.........................................................?

With perfection you'll reach 100% With excellence you can potentially reach higher.

What an artist does is take something, and makes it better.

If you want an exact perfect picture of something... then take a photo.

All art... drawings, painting, photoshop, etc... is a collection of exaggerated forms of real life.
The artist giveth and and artist taketh.
This is why I don't understand when people say... "How dare you give unrealistic proportions to _____!" "So unachievable!"
I don't understand this "unrealistic expectation" stuff. I'm not expecting anyone to achieve whatever I draw. Of course they're unrealistic, that's why I draw them. I draw them because they're impossible. Art is powerful because you can draw the impossible. Not saying everything is impossible but you can draw the impossible. You can draw achievable, the plausible, etc. but the most important thing to me is you can draw the impossible. No one is expecting anyone to match any fictional thing. You look fine. 

Haven't hit an art block for a really long time now.

Crazy

Decided to quit drinking alone.

yay

Dailies.

Me: Now might be a really good time for me to get in the mood to draw.

imagination is just another thing that can be exercised

foundation important

Start with a strong foundation to build on.
The right foundation will hold anything and the building will not fall down.

Self evaluation

I have reason to believe I haven't been pushing myself hard enough.

The workload is far too easy... so I'll attempt to add more to the curriculum.

Also keep your room clean, its a bother to clean it every week. Actually, today rearrange things.

We need to think of a morning ritual. Might be useful. Easier said than done. So just do it.

"Refreshing is the excuse for laziness." (Jump Festa 2015 (2014): a paper on the wall in Oda's workplace)

-someone said this

"easy come; easy go"

gnutips: How do you get tremendously amazing at drawing people?

You draw people

Settling

Recently I have been reading on the topic regarding artist happiness

A lot of artists like to find comfort as soon as they can... but! many say that comfort and happiness can stagnate an artist growth. When an artist becomes content with their work they find no reason to truly improve. True? debatable. to me i believe they just dont improve quite as fast

personally i don't want to be "good enough". I want to reach my highest potential. I've learned that I don't really care how ppl see my work... i do really care how i, myself, see my own work... and I want it to be very great.

pretty sure
