    Wow man. I've been struggling with motivation to pick up a pencil again, although I've found myself watching your videos and they've been inspiring me a ton!
    One of my main issues and probably what led me to putting down my pencil, was me struggling with original ideas and drawing from imagination.
    I've only found you today but I'm already grateful for the time and effort you put into these videos. It's truly incredible and inspiring, thank you so much ❤

  • @dareka9425
    @dareka9425 Před rokem +5

    I have imagined a lot of amazing fantasy or sci-fi stuff while lying on my bed, during a meeting or driving but when I wanted transfer that idea into paper...I just couldn't. I couldn't even draw the basic shape properly.
    So, I usually tend to draw random stuff out the blue or something interesting that I just saw. I also noticed that I can copy things better than create something new ones. I recently have been copying some video tutorial on how to draw the human body poses. The figures that I copied from the video looked far better than the ones that I created on my own.
    I really like drawing from memory, though. There are many scenes in life that I wanted to put into paper. Most of them are very quick scenes by the roadside while I'm driving so I don't have the luxury of stopping quickly to take a photograph. Also people will get uncomfortable when we raised our phone camera at them.

    • @Yominokun1
      @Yominokun1 Před rokem +1

      I think the problem here is what i have trouble with too. You may have a great idea, but don't have a clear picture in your head of what it should look like. That's where the references and memory come into play. The more you use references, and draw specific things, the more your mind gets used to drawing it, and the more accurate your mind's "visual library" becomes. But you do need that practice and those references. Describe something to the best artist, which he has never seen, or any idea of, and ask them to draw it, and you'll likely get something which isn't really good. Ask someone to draw a brushed metal pipe, who has never seen that, and it just won't work. Ask a metalworker who sees the stuff daily, and while not as refined, he'll have a clear image in his head of what it's like and with some practice will be able to get it down on paper a lot faster than someone who's imagining what it looks like.
      And as Draw Like a Sir says: don't run before you can walk. Well, it can be fun to try, and you can learn a lot from it too, but the basics will give you better progression. Even memory can be trained by that, since you can more easily remember a pose, if you have the right proportions and perspective in mind, and "just" need to fill in what you remember with things you know how to draw (be it a body, building, car, anything). In the end, everyone's copying real life (even if drawing completely random flesh monsters). If they don't, it just won't look right.

  • @gabrielsylvestre3708
    @gabrielsylvestre3708 Před 2 lety +3

    I found this video to be more based on Creativity (which is based on "weaving" and structure), rather than Imagination (which is more "Lucid" in the way it comes together in its forms of ideas.) And that's more based on personal preference than in general. Though both cross general and preference depending on if souls share common interests. My cousin and I used to argue about imagination and creativity all the time until I figured out I was more creative and he was more imaginative.

  • @shadowsniper1379
    @shadowsniper1379 Před rokem +3

    Well I do it differently.
    The catch is it only works if you are really good at picturing things in your head, try putting at much details needed for your purpose. Like if you are drawing landscape, how many tress? What is the shape of the mountain? That stuff, really try to picture it. And then slam your head on the paper or iPad and it usually work out for me 👍🏻

  • @ryanclemons1
    @ryanclemons1 Před 2 lety +5

    Holy cow.....That 3 forms of drawing from "imagination" It also helped me understand something you see I'm trash at drawing from memory this is do to me have a horrible memory like i did a test I'm like in the low 10% of people in the world when it comes to memory. However I'm better at Freely drawing if i have no idea what i want to make and i make it as i go it often looks better issues is......when i start seeing what i want to make I'm guessing this is where my weak memory starts giving me issues i have to try so hard to remember what something is like and since i have Aphantasia this leads to so many issues and my drawing comes out like a 8 year old made it......Sadly not really 100% how to improve now since i guess i should do more memory based drawings i guess to bad I'm so bad at them....but from what i hear you so do what you are bad at not what you are good at so yeah.

    • @Yominokun1
      @Yominokun1 Před rokem

      Or use references. No hard in that. If you know your memory's your weak point, don't try to remember what to draw, but look at what to draw. With time and practice it becomes easier, but not if you train yourself to use the wrong things ;).
      Not related to art, but i'm not that great in memorization either. Yet a couple of months (ok, half a year) ago i decided to learn how to solve a rubik's cube. While i'm not great at it, i am a lot better at it than when i started. I generally have no idea of which specific moves i'm doing in a certain algorithm, but my muscle memory generally does know what to do, through a LOT of repetition. The moment i start to think of: what move do i need to do in which order, it all goes haywire. Same goes with drawing. Draw an eye from memory, and it'll look wonky. Draw 1000 eyes from references and base shapes, and your mind will start drawing an eye without thinking on what exactly you're doing. Don't try to focus on the details of: i need to draw this line here to shade, then this line here to shade, but more towards: i need to shade the upper half, and let your hands and memory do the work that way. Think of the general shapes, instead of trying to remember every little line. Most people who "draw from imagination" or "draw from memory", have a vast visual library in their head, and drew certain things hundreds of times, so it comes to them without thinking of the details.
      I know it might not make a lot of sense, but it's where most of my own improvement in anything comes from: repetition, references and trusting my body to do what it does without thinking of the details. Thinking of the details and every stroke, is where it starts to go wrong for most people.
