If you have NO art talent and can’t draw a straight line, you have found the right place to learn to create life-like drawings and then realistic portraits.
We will take you by the hand and guide you through the learning process of sketching. Since you can’t draw, you will start with artless projects that you already know how to do. You will then learn to gradually blend them into simple drawing projects.
There are some tips, some formulas, techniques, shortcuts, and procedures that will improve your work and save you time. There is very much to learn and you can start at your level art education.
You will learn about lines, proportions, perspective, lights and shadows, composition, color basics, the different art media, painting materials, and portrait painting. But all you need to do in the beginning is to draw what you see. If you succeed with every chapter, you will have a professional education in advanced art.
Why is a person artistic and you are not? It is because the artistic person has a well developed visual and memory area of their brain and you don’t. They “see” things differently than you because they are interpreting what they see in a different way than you do. An artistic person looks at the world in terms of shapes, lines, colors, and the relationships between these things.
Here is a new way for you to learn art and see like an artist. However, it is similar to the way you learn to ride a bicycle or learn how to swim. It’s about gradually strengthening certain inactive connections of neurons in your brain. With each new sketching experience and each remembered event or fact, the brain slightly re-wires its physical structure. You gradually learn to sketch.
Your first steps are very important. You start with an activity that you already know how to do. You then add a new action to it to start firing brain neurons in a new path.
Your first steps will use your eyes, arm, and hand to start building up long term memories in the medial temporal lobe of your brain.
(The temporal lobes are involved in processing sensory input into derived meanings for the appropriate retention of visual memories, language comprehension, and emotion association. The medial temporal lobe consists of structures that are vital for long-term memory.)
These new procedures will finally usher in a way to teach art to those who have failed in the past.
Our purpose here is to build up your long term art memories that are important for you to draw what you see. You can advance as far and as fast as you can. There are many art procedures here to take you in the direction that you want to go.
The best part is you can increase your brain power in all of your endeavors by using both your visual and logical areas of your brain.
Drawing is simply a skill that can be taught and learned by anyone of sound mind. You have learned other skills such as reading, writing, and arithmetic, therefore you can learn art. It is a matter of becoming more skillful at using your eyes, hand, and arm to produce your art ideas. You become more skillful because your eyes, hand, arm, and brain work together to learn new tricks. It doesn’t have much to do with talent. You’ll develop that along the way.
Drawing is the entry-level skill for all the visual arts. Practice will help you get more experience
