Tldw: Do an extreme version of agile for getting better. E.g, do 1 minute sketches of a cup 12 times, trying different variations, and understand WHY some variations worked and some didn't. After experimenting, see how other people did it. And do it again.
I used to hate drawing, but after trying this approach for months I think I love it. I do not regret the time I spent learning to draw, and after putting in the hours it changed the way I see the world.
- kblev 6y agoIn what ways did your world view change?
- stagger87 6y agoNot the OP, but the OP may have literally meant changing the way they SEE the world, not changing their world view. When I learned to draw, I started noticing shading and depth everywhere, as that tends to be one of the first big things you struggle with.
- lovegoblin 6y agoThis is one of the few occasions where a common idiomatic metaphor - "the way I see the world" - is actually meant to be taken literally. It didn't change their worldview; it changed the way they see the world.
- john-tells-all 6y agoSeconded. As developers, we're familiar with a "feedback loop" e.g. with Test Driven Development. Write a Test (high-level description of feature), write Code that makes the Test work, repeat. Same thing with drawing: do a bunch of them, compare them to what you were expecting, repeat. Also: don't take it seriously. At all :) Just do a bunch of drawing and it's all good :) my IG https://www.instagram.com/johnlmitchell/ https://www.instagram.com/johnlmitchell/
