@Anastasiabruno9 months agoI am an art student at the academy and i' ve done 1 year of life drawing with both two male models and two female models. my teacher actually as a person who has been drawing for her whole life i did both still life and life drawing classes and in artistic high school they taught us how to take proportions. But never anatomy. so. I practiced a lot of drawing in highschool and i improved a lot. as a person who has been also selft taught i' ve already used all of the methods that you listed, which are amazing. but when i went to the academy yes, they taught beginners how to do that, but to a person like me, who really wanted to add that more spice to the drawing, i would get critique but most of the time my drawing was right, the teacher told me that my only problem was positioning the subject in the center of the paper. but the proportions and everything were 90% of the time right. idk, i still want to improve my quickness in taking proportions and likeness, when i am at the anatomy class, my drawing is not how i want it, even though my teacher always tells me that it' s good. idk, i don' t feel like i have a high level of accuracy and quickness in my drawing skills. i get accuracy just with a lot of time on the drawing (it also depends on the days. i don' t even know what kind of level i have, where should i look at to improve my skills even more. i even had some students coming up to me asking to correct their own drawing and i would always tell them that im not good enough to do that.

Because i draw architecture, and straight lines look much better with drawn with ruler. Also perspective line drawing is so much simpler with a ruler. But thats it. Pencil, paper, ruler. it takes years to actualy become good at these things. and you know. Going gradualy deeper and deeper into understanding stuff. I kinda actualy end up not using more than half of the stuff i buy, and experiment with for drawing. But in the end of the day it somehow it makes sense and gives exp.

They are handy! i have a question about proportions and i think you have being when i draw loose and with no compromise, the vibrancy of the strokes pops - but sometimes it lacks proportions, and things out of alignment. but, sometimes when i want to pursuit a true likeness (lots of measurements) the result is stiff and many times i leave them cause i feel i will not be able to bring them to life. i draw with charcoal pencil (loong tip) and newsprint paper. so, my question is: how to balance the vibrancy of a loose and relaxed joy drawing - with something stricketed like a super fine likeness?
