I have understood there is a method that separates those who can draw or those who can learn apart from those who must struggle or "study": the ability to "project".

A good artist does not do construction. They don't measure or waste their time with measuring proportion or angles.

The image "appears" in their mind.

They look at their canvas.

They "project" the mental image that "appeared" onto the canvas and they trace over it!

You don't need to study or anything it's pointless

Do this trick and see if it works. If not then YNGMI.

>A good artist does not do construction

I've never EVER seen a good artist not do construction or practice his boxes constantly.

you can't write something as definitive as this without posting your work, anon
show us the true power of hyperphantasic projection tracing
you can start by drawing a bicycle. certainly you know what a bicycle looks like, right? trace it

Impossible for me, also I've never heard of any artist who can hologram their ideas into the canvas. It would at the very least be told to begs by some teachers if they could do that.

>>7869188
I think that's more experience of drawing thousands of people than projecting it.
I wouldn't say it's beg work as >>7869189 but it does feel like a flat drawing, very likely to happen if you don't think in 3D forms.

>>7867298
almost true but they first visualize boxes and guidelines and draw over them so it looks like they don't use construction

>no projection
>no planes
>flat volumes

NO GUYS BUT HES OBVIOUSLY NOT BEG BECAUSE IT HURTS THE FEELINGS OF ABSOLUTE RETARDS THAT PAY ME TO BE NICE INSTEAD OF TEACHING THEM HOW TO DRAW

You are a bad person. Actual terrible person.

A surefire way to know if you're ever going to make it: if you find yourself thinking you "solved" drawing, you're ngmi

There are good artists that draw without construction, but it's a skill you have to hone just like line work.

its a combination of projecting your imagination and relying on your muscle memory. But you build muscle memory by drawing good drawings a lot. Every bad drawing you make actually sets you back because it ruins your muscle memory and wastes your time. So yes, good artists started out good. There is no artist that started out shit and studied their way to being good. Life is not a video game where you can grind your stats and be guaranteed a level up.

>YNGMI if you have aphantasia

Best you'll ever do is work at Disney if you're willing to admit you have it.

>>7867298
You've got the right idea.
However most artists do some level of line-searching because they haven't fully made up their mind what they are even looking for. Doesn't mean they meticulously construct boxes unless they really need some clear anchors for reference for some reason.
