art study ~ process of learning and improving one’s art skills.

theory

  1. those PDF art study books i have
    • Anatomy for Sculptors by Zarins and Kondrats
    • Framed Ink by Marcos Mateu-Mestre
  2. tutorials from the internet
    • videos (YT, 📌 link those later)
    • pictures (Pinterest, currents)

practice

  1. making exercises from the books and tutorials
  2. practice drawing this
  3. draw using references (both static and videos)

experiments

  • copying arts i like (for learning purposes)
  • drawing from my head
  • using new brushes
  • using new art programs
  • using new art techniques

observing

  1. observing how natural light works
  2. observing how trees look like (focused)
  3. observing others’ art and trying to understand what i like there and why

AuDHD brain specifics

  • draw with someone together
    • or use “draw with me”/“study with me” body-doubling videos
    • drawing together IRL (but everyone their own things)
    • drawing together online on the same canvas¹
  • listen to music related to worldbuilding to make myself draw those “AMVs”
  • setting challenges (📌 link them later)
  • using randomized suggestions²

🔖 why i want to do this

  • to draw things i see in my head
  • to explore my characters and worlds deeper
  • to see… more
  • to feel artistic fulfillment

ultimately, artistic fulfillment is everything i want from this life
