Have you tried plugging your tablet in, sitting at your computer for over 6 hours straight drawing, doing that for 10 days in a row, and analyzing all your drawings to try to know what was wrong with them and try to fix that in the drawing after ? And after that, drawing every day to try to fix things you do wrong and improve things you do right ?
Is there anyone you actually look up to ? If so, try understanding how they draw, what tools they use and how they use, and try to learn to do the same, or twist it in a way that fits what you want to do and what you can do. That's all I've done and that's how you improve.
It's nothing about talent. Talent is just a word people use to excuse their laziness. If you want to be good at drawing, then draw, and work for it.
You are right. I got a bit disappointed when I tried to draw first time without reference after using tutorials, the result was pretty bad. Luckily a friend of mine gave me couple of his old "How to draw manga" books, sketching techniques I learned from there proved to be very helpful when trying to draw something your own.boat wrote:
This depends on the tutorial, but I honestly believe there is very little learn from tutorials in the form of "how do draw x and y". This of course also depends on your goals, but anyone who's an aspiring illustrative artist should prioritize proper theory over step by step guides.
The difference is obviously, theory, in comparison to building up your visual library. The latter is by all means both good and necessary to practice, but is contradictory to use if your goal is to get better at drawing or painting. Improvement comes quicker and better from practice rather than copying, and if you spent time learning about theory, in an example, values, then the guide on how to paint an apple wouldn't be obsolete and useless when you later on decide to paint a banana instead.
