20 WEEKS DRAWING TRAINING PLAN

Thanks

This was the advice I needed. I’m “skilled”, but I fell into the same trap of just churning 3-4 hours of imagination drawing a day because I was burnt out seeing one Pinterest photo copied to another. It has its purpose, but I fatigued myself comparing fully imaginative works to other peoples studies. Wondering why it had tons of flair but I wasn’t nailing certain aspects as well. This is a happy medium of structure and fun that I need to reintroduce into my routine. Thank you for sharing!

week 1-4 fundamentals and observational fundamentals - lines shapes basic forms observational - gradually progress to more complex subjects gesture drawing - capture the essence 1h each week 5-8 anatomy and figure anatomy - start skeleton progress to muscles figure drawing - apply anatomy knowledge to figure drawing anatomy/figure - create detailed studies fo different body part and experiment with dynamic poses 1h each weeks 9-12 Perspective and foreshortening - practice drawing environments from different viewpoints Experiment with complex compositions - create scenes that challenge your understanding of space Develop your visual library by drawing scenes from imagination - incorporate architecture and diverse environments week 13-16 storytelling and sequential art storytelling - create simple comic strips or storyboards character design - experiment with various characters and styles storytelling - illustrate scenes with multiple characters interacting in various enviroments 1h each week 17-20 explore advenced techniques - cross-hatching, stippling and shading (experiment with textures) pick your fav medium - refine your style final project (combine everything you learned) - create a detailed illustration or a short comic 1 hour each

I actually love drawing from imagination. It often comes up with some odd poses and shapes, bit it's relaxing to just draw it without having to worry about accuracy

This is really what I need. I lack basic fundamentals in drawing especially in drawing dynamic poses and different angles. I love to draw from imagination but this is what I need to make my drawings seem realistic. I’ve been sticking to abstract art cause it’s within my shell but knowing that there’s more to art, I also want to think outside the box.

Saying you should consistently practice a regimented routine for imagination to become more creative, very German of you.. great video bro, thanks

Yes! Train your imagination, we all need more of that

- Weeks 1-4: Fundamentals n Observational = 2:40 - Weeks 5-8: Anatomy n Figure = 3:25 - Weeks 9-12: Perspective n Complex Scenes = 6:18 - Weeks 13-16: Storytelling n Sequential Art = 6:53 - Weeks 17-20: Adv. Techniques n Personal Projects = 7:35

Hell yeah love the written PLAN thank you !

You are the second person I have heard mentioning imagination as a fundamental, and the first was the man that founded one of the best art programs I've been a part of. I subbed immediately. Great video.

This resonated with me, I’m a beginner and I've been struggling to figure out which fundamentals I should be practicing and how to structure it to the point where I've been following along with 4 different courses that are all teaching different areas of fundamentals. I figured if my week consisted of different fundamentals each day it would be a more efficient way of learning but all it’s done it’s filled me with anxiety and left me confused and feeling over stretched. When I tried to some imagination drawing afterwards, I would just draw as I normally would, unintentionally discarding what I learned, making it feel like the studying was kinda pointless. it felt like I was going through the courses too fast with information overload and none of it sticking. Studying one thing at a time for a weeks each day and then applying what you learnt in the same session makes way more sense to me. As a beginner how would you structure you’re foundation month in terms of topics? for example proportions, shading, would you do a whole month on proportions then move onto perspective/shading for a month or would you do a week of proportions then week of shading as they’re both fundamentals until the end of the month and then change to something like perspective for the next month. Probably overthinking this 😅

Sure imagination is good but lets not forget the greatest artists of our time used models, a reference. Like how many artists use pinterest to find their references. Drawing from imagination is really good to help strengthen drawings you've done from studys. One must really think and refer to images one has drawn before. It truly helps solidify anything you are learning.

Dude! This is phenomenal information! Thank you!!!

Thanks man I needed this. I'm fairly skilled but I get too complacent, complacency is my flaw on a personal level. Breaking it down to bite size like what you showed instead of drawing the same thing repetitively should help get me out of the rut, I need to branch out and explore. And drawing from imagination, I probably do that too much. Lol

Really useful video love it! My motivation is back 💪

Omg, thank you so much . I've been doing self-study for a huge amount of time, but i always stuck with a plan, and you gave it to me. Sorry for my bad English, I'm Slavic ahah . Thank you ❤❤❤❤❤

I'm at the stick man and square box house level of skill, so I've a super long way to go yet! Just wanted to say how inspiring your sketch book is. And I love the idea of copy and practice on one page and then apply with imagination on the opposite side. I would love to see a video showing how you approach mistakes. Do you erase mistakes when practising or leave them in place as a learning reference?

Oh yea, this is the magic sauce to learning how to burn through sketchbooks. I’m having fun already!

amazing brother thank you so much i will start this tommorow and give you a feedback in 20 weeks ! my dream is to become mangaka and write the best manga in the world and show to the people that you can become something from nothing

Awesome thumbnail bro I hope it get you lots of traction
