    Ok so just a helpful tip for artists out there:
    If you do realism now, it will really help with proportions and anatomy studies in the future. Even if your an illustrator, this will help you big time, trust me. All art styles come from realism :)

    “I know what a cat looks like” -honestly that’s really how it goes. You draw it and then you look at the actual cat and you’re like woah there’s so many things I missed and got wrong. References really are your best friend, learn to draw what you see and not what you think you see.

  • @Bored_af1
    @Bored_af1 3 года назад +3

    I was bored once but wanted to draw so I used a picture of my dog as a reference and accidentally did it in more of a realism style instead of my style and it came out really well. It definitely showed me that realism can help anyone improve their art

  • @1just_chillin
    @1just_chillin 3 года назад +4

    I don’t know if this will help anyone but I get bored drawing realism so what I do is draw semi realism so I’m still studying it but I’m doing what I love. Then when I want to do more realistic stuff I have a place to start and I tend to have less of a struggle because I have a place of reference in my head. Hope that helps!!

    • @andysartz

      I feel intimidated by the idea of trying to draw a realistic face after sooooo many years of drawing anime characters with those manga proportions (huge eyes, small nose, inexistent lips, you know the deal). So that's what I plan to start with, too, semi-realism. I hope it will be more fun and less intimidating for me!

      @1just_chillin 3 года назад

      @@andysartz Oh! I hope it helps. I totally get it I had the same issue I started out drawing from those awful anime books from the 2000s. Semi-realism in my experience helps because you can dip into both sides of the spectrum (realistic, or illustrative).

    yeah! studying realism is still important beyond helping you with proportion (no matter how exaggerated) it also helps you with figuring out where would be a general place to, place things and change and translate it from one style to another and keep them noticeably that character beyond say, their color pallet and hair style or something.

    studying realism is so important, even if that is not what you want to do artistically. the best example of this is picasso, painted realistically and then was able to develop his most famous style because he knew how to contort the human form from studying it realistically

  • @Telindra

    I did only realism in graphite (using photo references) as a teenager and in my early twenties, and basically only drew horses. I completely stopped drawing for, hmm, I think it must be 10 years? There about. I am 30+ right now. Never dabbled in colors, so I dunno shit about color theory. Never dabbled in any other medium than graphite. Never studied perspective (I so wish I had, haha).
    So when I decided to pick up art again? After thinking about it for years, I decided that this time around there would be no comfort zone. I SHALL LEARN IT ALL. Broaden my horizon and actively challenge myself (while having some fun too ofc).
    I'm currently in an all out craze for markers and illustration :) I am so dreading moving into drawing people and landscapes, oh God. I feel scared to death even thinking about it, lol.
    I honestly feel totally and utterly lost in everything I do (haven't touched graphite again, or rather, yet) but let me tell you guys something? Oliver is speaking the truth. Even if I only drew horses back in the days, I am still having such a huge advantage at my table, because of the realism, and from using photo references. I know how to do that, and it helps loads. It makes it so much easier (it still ain't a walk in the park tho) taking on learning a new subject matter.

    I think the the only reason I’m not doing realism is because it was shoved down my throat as a kid. Don’t get me wrong, I do use realistic references for anatomy but that’s it. It was so forced on me in all of my classes that I began to resent it. I’m trying to learn it today, but it’s hard because of how many times I was lectured about it.

      I’m not a great artist or anything but it helps make things proportionate and the right size and shape. It also just kind of blocks out the body and makes it easier to build upon. For me it makes it easier to see if my character makes sense and is the right size, hope this helped!
