I think they should teach this type of thing in art classes at school

i agree!
I had to work extremely hard to find the right people to teach me this stuff, in this way.

I would be much better at art if I had multiple years of training with graded perspective/anatomy/posing lessons and stuff

Instead they just have you draw various pictures

Piano and guitar teachers and dance teachers teach you things like this in their classes

What's going on with art teachers in public schools? Are there just no standards?

youre always always welcome to dm me pictures of the boxes and perspective and stuff and i can let you know if youre on the right track or not.

just to save you some time so you dont get something confused and get stuck and waste time. to make it as fast and painless as possible

that is exactly right there are no standards.

The entire system needs to be reworked they aren't actually teaching people anything at all

here is the book i used to learn it

also i totally agree.
and at least in high school you dont pay for it
but they do the same thing in really expensive art schools too

And there's a ton of very valid lessons they could be teaching

Idk how the school board lets art departments specifically get away with this in comparison to like theater or music or dance classes

Waow

its because the people hiring the people dont know anything about it.

in dance or music you can tell pretty easily if something is bad.

but with visual arts, people are really impressed if somebody can just render something in a basic way. so they get hired.

and they get all into the “emotional message” part. and try to critique and judge your message, instead of giving you the neutral skills to make your message yourself. which has nothing to do with how to draw or paint.

i know its like 200 pages but most of those pages are just big drawings with a short paragraph explaining them.

its not long to get through at all and it breaks down every little thing is a very clear and concise way and doesnt get needlessly complicated

@aeiou
the real reason you need the boxes, is because of what we do with them in chapter 12 onward btw
you can stop at chapter 17. 18 and after get more complicated and tedious than you need for almost anything youll be doing in your comic

so the beginning to chapter 17

its because with them, we can determine the middle of something in perspective thats being foreshortened.

and also turn them into spheres and cylinders (which is what you need for rabbits)

message me if anything in the book is confusing and i will clarify it for you

Thank u !!!!!

youre welcome! u made my day asking about this stuff.
love sharing these resources because i know how hard they were to find for myself. saving anybody that trouble is the best

also funny this book was made in the 30s but now a 100 years later people dont teach most of whats in it lol
people had this figured out hundreds of years ago

Fake + no internet

u should hang out with us more in vz

Haven't been much in ktt2 lately at all , but you knows I love yall
