xhiu6o | artfundamentals_train | 0.99 | Are drawing skills like "riding a bike", once you know how to do it you never forget? Or do you have to continue practicing to not lose your skill? | ip1a9hc | ioza35q | 1,663,570,829 | 1,663,535,368 | 23 | 7 | From watching Kim Jung gi draw and the fact that he finds it difficult to draw anime characters. I suspect drawing skill is really all about drawing reality and then playing with it. So yes drawing can be like riding a bike if you understand that drawing is drawing what you see. So you want the skill to draw, draw that tree in front of your house, draw your foot draw anything that you see. And when you are good at that you can learn tricks and techniques Just with a bike you can learn to just ride it or you can learn more and drift and jump with it | A bit of both. You can definitely accumulate rust, so to speak, but at the same time, drawing is as much an acquired set of sensibilities (knowledge of lighting, anatomy, and etc) as it is your physical skills. | 1 | 35,461 | 3.285714 | ||

Hope that makes sense. | I don’t have the artistic drawing experience to say, but Peter Han mentions in his Dynamic Sketching 2 demo on YouTube that it’s not like riding a bike and that you’ll lose the mind/muscle connection without practice. My own judgment says that may be extreme, but probably mostly true. My experience with handwriting/technical drafting tells me that the skill does fall off, but can be re-learned much quicker than the first time. | 1 | 23,323 | 1.166667 | ||

xhiu6o | artfundamentals_train | 0.99 | Are drawing skills like "riding a bike", once you know how to do it you never forget? Or do you have to continue practicing to not lose your skill? | ioz8mz3 | ioygk0a | 1,663,534,823 | 1,663,524,599 | 5 | 3 | It’s probably dependent on the individual but I get paid to draw, and so I get burned out, so I take a break for a while and it’ll take me months to get back to where I was, even after a break of a week or two | Depends on how long you stop. You won't forget the fundamentals, but you'll forget your methods, the touch you had with a pencil or brush, the way you created certain effects. But that's not so bad, either. You're a different person now. It makes sense for your art to be different. | 1 | 10,224 | 1.666667 | ||
qx1v6c | artfundamentals_train | 0.78 | How long should I spend on each box for 250 box challenge? I'm up to 120 boxes, I do about 8 boxes an hour, but as a test I tried to do some fast ones and made some decent boxes spending only 30 seconds on each. I'm tempted to do the rest of my challenge like this because it will be much quicker, but I'm afraid it will hamper my learning. | hl9e5kz | hlcz22q | 1,637,333,721 | 1,637,391,289 | 2 | 3 | for me too, i take about the same time as you, 8 boxes an hour | Don't rush the boxes. I know its tedious but if you rush through them you'll get very little out of it. | 0 | 57,568 | 1.5 | ||

Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/ArtFundamentals) if you have any questions or concerns.* | Lesson 0 puts a lot of emphasis in why we should use pen instead of pencil or drawing digitally. I remind you that, technically, you can use whatever if you’re not planning to summit your homework for official review. Lesson 1 is all about learning the basics of perspective and practicing the ghosting method (and drawing using your arm). For the 250 box challenge, you only use the ruler to check the box convergences by extending the lines with a different color. Everything else you must use the ghosting method. I was also confused when I first saw Uncomfortable drawing digitally, but then I realize that video was 4 years old and Uncomfortable has been remaking some old videos to improve the lessons. He initially starting teaching using a digital software instead of paper and camera. I hope this answers your question. | 0 | 32,491 | 2 |
