    This is great depiction of the evolution of art. You started with the evolution from about 1850 and on, would have loved you to go back even further.

    That's disappointing if a lot of people really had that experience. I took an art course in college, and it was very helpful (and our model had a nice body, and she was actually attending art school on a different campus so she walked around during breaks to look at our work and give suggestions), I learned a lot and more importantly improved exponentially.

    i personally think it's BULLSH*T that the illustrations here imply that you have to be 'young & attractive' in order to pose... so much for 'everyone's beautiful' huh?

    yes, i know. but i think theyre implying that its a lil bit, er, weird, to have a draw a chunky naked guy instead of a muscular one. just voicing my opinion, not tryna hate or anything ;)

    Don't scoff. I knew a guy who couldn't tell the difference between an H pencil and a B pencil. And he's dead now!!!! Of course, that was 30 years ago, and he was 96 at the time. But seriously, did couldn't tell the difference.

    Figure & gesture drawing, actually the more imperfect they are, the more interesting it is to draw them :) at least for me.

    God I love it when people expect this s**t out of art school. Art school is similar to the fundamentals of martial arts, they only give you the training wheels to work with your subject matter. It's up to you to make the specifications of that said art work from the common ground that you have. Alexander the Great didn't just learn the ways of conquering after a year session with Aristole.

    That is LITERALLY all I learned from my college drawing class was the difference between h and b pencils. Oh, and how to draw only using shading.

    We had a heavy tall middle aged man. Then we had a young thin blond woman for our figure drawing class. I think diversity was good for me. These cartoons are close to how it feels in college.

    First day of art class I had to paint with a stick. Like an actual stick. They made us go outside and find one to paint with. The first life drawing class I had I went through 10 classes of just "sit there and draw her" with no direction, tips, assistance or anything

    My experienice to the T. Even to the point where someone who was colour blind, would get bashed for "misinterpretation". I ditched the school and got an apprenticeship tattooing-probably the only traditional facet of the fine art form, that comes with pay. The only thing school taught me was how to give someone EXACTLY what THEY expect. Not much room for creativity.

    You've managed to capture my artist life perfectly. I hate when my friends go, "Why do they only have one eye?" Because anime eyes are hard to draw and I'm a perfectionist.

    This is followed by a 3 phases: #1) Uncontrollable breathing #2) Impatiently waiting and looking at the screen for 10 minutes, hoping it will be just fine #3) Accepting your fate #4BONUS) You will think about this mistake for the rest of the week

    While drawing, I will hold it in my hand, making gestures on my tablet. When I'm not drawing though, I'll put it in its stand.

    Well, you can still say you have drawn a bunch of study lines :D You might have erased them and not having evidence to show, but you've done it anyway!

    Doing CTRL + Z is probably the most common. So is CTRL + Y, but we all know we can't get back that perfect line, once it's erased.

    In my case, I've gotten positive reactions so far. But remember - if you wanna make people percieve your drawing as a present, make sure you don't just give them paper. Put your work in a frame if it's for, for example, your teacher, or a protective plastic foil if it's for a friend.
