<aside> 🐱 Yes, I have notes on how to effectively practice drawing. It helps, I swear.

</aside>

RULES

• no distractions while studying (no super fun music, no netflix)
• take a 2-5 min break every 20-30 minutes when practicing
• no multitasking in general

STEPS

• deconstruct while doing studies/practicing
• draw what you see
  • whether real life or photo reference, just do your best representing it
  • do not dive into complicated stuff, start small
• construct what you observe
  • observing is more than seeing, there's an analysis to the process now since you know more about the theory. you can understand what you see better)
• recall what you drew then draw it from memory (redraw without reference)
• study what you copied
  • study the fundamentals, learn more about what you just drew. anatomy? perspective? color theory? look into it, educate yourself, find the answers to the questions you likely had while copying
  • instead of seeing and copying, you can observe better and take in more information and you have studied relevant theory, so you can construct drawings with solid structure instead of just copying
• compare what you drew to you reference and see what you did wrong (self-critique)
• get quality rest to properly attain information learned
• repeat what you learned throughout the month and year

Pareto Principle (80/20 rule)

• 80% outcomes caused by 20% of causes
• 20% of theory allows you to create 80% of what you can imagine
• So focus of learning and practicing what will give you the most results
