Want to Draw Better? - An Effective Study Method
Summary
TLDREl guion del video discute la diferencia entre habilidad y conocimiento en el aprendizaje del arte. El narrador, un artista, sugiere que muchos artistas se centran en copiar imágenes sin comprender la anatomía detrás de ellas, lo que limita su progreso. Propone un método de estudio que combina la observación detallada, la toma de notas y la aplicación directa de lo aprendido en sus propios dibujos. Este enfoque, según el narrador, llevó a su propio crecimiento como artista y puede ser una herramienta efectiva para otros que buscan mejorar su arte.
Takeaways
- 🎨 El aprendizaje del arte no solo se trata de mejorar la habilidad técnica sino también de adquirir conocimiento sobre el tema que se está dibujando.
- 📚 Muchos artistas se centran en copiar imágenes de anatomía sin leer el texto, lo que limita su comprensión y conocimiento del tema.

Q & A
¿Qué es lo que a menudo escuchan los artistas principiantes sobre mejorar su arte?
-Los artistas principiantes a menudo escuchan sobre la importancia de estudiar y seguir un régimen de estudio para mejorar su arte y acercarse al tipo de arte que desean crear.
¿Cuál es la diferencia entre 'habilidad' y 'conocimiento' según el script?
-Según el script, la 'habilidad' se refiere a la capacidad de realizar una tarea, como copiar una imagen, sin necesariamente comprender los conceptos subyacentes, mientras que el 'conocimiento' implica una comprensión profunda de los fundamentos, como la anatomía o la estructura, que se está representando.
¿Por qué a veces los artistas no se sienten que están mejorando a pesar de dibujar todo el tiempo?
-A menudo, esto se debe a una brecha en la comprensión de lo que es una habilidad versus lo que es conocimiento. A veces, los artistas se enfocan solo en la ejecución de la tarea sin adquirir el conocimiento teórico necesario para mejorar su trabajo.
¿Qué ejemplos utiliza el orador para ilustrar la diferencia entre habilidad y conocimiento en el dibujo?
-El orador utiliza sus propios estudios de anatomía de 2010 y 2013. En 2010, copiaba imágenes sin comprender realmente lo que estaba dibujando, mostrando habilidad pero no conocimiento. En 2013, comenzó a leer y tomar notas de los libros de anatomía, lo que le permitió adquirir conocimiento y mejorar significativamente su arte.
¿Qué estrategia sugiere el orador para mejorar en el arte al identificar un problema específico?
-El orador sugiere identificar el problema, hacer un estudio focalizado en ese área problemática, tomar notas y luego aplicar lo aprendido de inmediato en un nuevo intento de la tarea original, esta vez incorporando el conocimiento adquirido.
¿Por qué es importante leer y tomar notas a partir de los estudios de anatomía o cualquier otro libro de referencia?
-Leer y tomar notas ayuda a internalizar el conocimiento y a comprender los patrones y conceptos subyacentes, lo que a su vez lleva a una mejora en la capacidad de dibujo y en la creación de arte más auténtico y preciso.
¿Qué es un estudio en el contexto del aprendizaje del arte según el script?
-Un estudio, en el contexto del aprendizaje del arte, es un ejercicio enfocado en comprender y mejorar un aspecto específico de la técnica de dibujo, como la estructura de un esqueje o la expresión facial, más allá de simplemente copiar una imagen.
¿Cómo se compara el proceso de estudio y aplicación según el orador para maximizar el aprendizaje en el arte?
-El orador sugiere primero realizar una tarea, como dibujar un rostro de imaginación, luego hacer un estudio relacionado con ese problema identificado y, finalmente, aplicar lo aprendido de inmediato en una nueva tarea similar, notando la diferencia en la calidad del trabajo.
¿Por qué el orador insiste en que no es necesario que el estudio sea un copia exacta de la referencia?
-El orador enfatiza que el objetivo del estudio no es la reproducción perfecta de una imagen, sino comprender y aprender los conceptos subyacentes para poder aplicar ese conocimiento en su propio trabajo de arte.
¿Cómo el orador describe el proceso de aprendizaje y aplicación para integrar el conocimiento en el arte?
-El orador describe el proceso como un ciclo de identificación de problemas, estudio focalizado, toma de notas y aplicación inmediata del conocimiento adquirido en una tarea similar, lo que resulta en un aprendizaje más profundo y una mejora significativa en la habilidad artística.
¿Qué tipo de comentarios o feedback busca el orador al final del script?
-El orador busca comentarios sobre el método de estudio y aplicación que presentó, y desea saber cómo les funcionó a otros artistas, animándolos a compartir su progreso y experiencia en el proceso de aprendizaje del arte.

Highlights
Artists often struggle with feeling like they aren't improving despite practicing daily.
There is a gap in understanding between skill and knowledge in art.
Many artists copy from anatomy books without reading the text, missing out on valuable knowledge.
Skill involves the ability to replicate what is seen, while knowledge involves understanding what is being drawn.
The speaker shares personal examples from 2010 of studies done by copying images, highlighting the difference between skill and knowledge.
In 2013, the speaker began reading and taking notes from anatomy books, which significantly improved their learning.
Writing notes in one's own words helps internalize and understand the material better.
The speaker emphasizes the importance of identifying problems in one's work to understand areas of weakness.
Doing studies involves questioning what is not understood and seeking to learn from it.
The speaker recommends a process of identifying a problem, studying, and then applying what was learned.
Studies should focus on understanding and recognizing patterns rather than just copying images.
Applying what is learned involves doing the same task after the study, ideally from imagination.
The speaker suggests that this method of learning can lead to significant improvement in art skills.
The process of learning through application of skills and gaining knowledge is described as a cycle of practice and correction.
The speaker encourages artists to implement this daily practice, even if it's just for an hour or two, to see improvement.
The speaker invites feedback and progress updates from artists who try this method, showing a community approach to learning.
The speaker provides a Discord link for further interaction and sharing of progress among artists.
Transcripts
oh hi
there oh
hi how are
you so something I hear a lot about from
different artists that are starting to
come up and they're starting to learn
about studying and trying to improve
their art and get into some sort of a a
study regiment or process for them to
start improving their art and get closer
to the type of art that they want to try
and make I hear a lot of the times these
artists will end up sort of saying like
oh I feel like I'm not improving and if
you're watching this video and you feel
like that's you then maybe it might be
relevant to something that you're going
through right now so I'm going to try
and help out so more often than not when
I end up talking to artists that are
having the struggle they're drawing all
day every day and they're still not
feeling like they're improving there's
often a a gap in people's understanding
of what could be considered uh skill and
what could be considered knowledge I
know many artists that just draw on copy
from anatomy books and aren't actually
reading any of the text in them and
turns out actually all that text that's
written in those books is there for a
reason it's actually got a lot of good
stuff to say and this is where I think
that you end up getting that division
between skill and knowledge to better
explain what I mean I'm going to hop
over to my computer and I'll show you
guys what I'm talking
about so I thought I'd go over to my
computer so I could better kind of show
examples of what I mean by skill versus
knowledge um I think maybe some people
might kind of understand already what
I'm getting at but just to be crystal
clear with what I'm discussing here I
thought it might be helpful to have some
actual visual examples okay so these are
some examples of some studies that I did
way back in 2010 and based off these
studies like if you were just looking at
this image you could probably look at it
and be like oh wow that person knows how
to draw they know what they're doing
like wow that arm looks really really
great now that being said I'm just
copying from an image so I don't
actually have to understand what's
happening in the image itself and even
these uh less muscular ones over here
looking at these you could still see
like oh yeah there's all this little
nuance and these little tiny bumps and
stuff like that and like that's not
because I'm like oh I know exactly how I
want to design this muscle that's
because I see a little bump in the image
that I'm copying from so I go oh okay
well muscles must be bumpy but these are
kind of what my figures from imagination
were looking like back then but what I
want to try and emphasize here is that
even though I was doing a lot of these
drawings at this time and I was going
through this book I was able to still
draw arms in a way they were still arms
but you can see that I'm not really
understanding what's happening
underneath all of this I'm getting these
major shapes right I'm getting a deltoid
I'm getting a bicep I see that there's
some forearm muscles but any other
Nuance that's happening underneath that
I'm not getting I'm not understanding I
don't actually know what I'm drawing but
this is a skill that I'm gaining that's
why I wrote skill right there so that's
what I mean this is the skill part not
the knowledge part not that's not that
part it's this part right here skill and
you might be kind of scratching your
head at that like oh why is that skill
if I'm saying that I'm not skilled when
I'm doing this and the reason I'm saying
that is because it's not like it's not
worth me doing this me copying all of
these arms I definitely was learning how
to do something I was learning some of
these shapes I was internalizing some of
these shapes and patterns that I was
seeing in anatomy and I was clearly able
to replicate those to an extent but I
wasn't actually learning any technical
knowledge compare those studies to the
studies that I started doing here in
2013 I started uh drawing from the same
anatomy books that I was drawing from
but this time what a shocker I actually
was reading the book Not only was I
reading the book but I also was writing
notes down wow and that is probably the
fastest way that I've ever learned but
what I think is interesting is a lot of
these notes weren't just notes directly
from the book you have to write the
thing that you're seeing in your own
words it's not just enough for me to
write down these little measurement
markings and write down like oh hair
brow nose Etc it's also writing down
like oh from nose to Chin is rule of
thirds like you end up getting these
kind of third breakdowns uh hairline to
brow brow to nose nose to Chin is in
thirds eyes are halfway point of the
head like little things like that and so
you can see after doing you know five
different male actor faces I'm just
taking a bunch of notes the notes don't
even have to be like facts right it
doesn't have to be anything real right I
said like bottom eyelids very prominent
that doesn't make any sense that's not a
thing that is like a constant like oh
all men have prominent bottom eyelids
the thing is that I don't know and so
what I'm doing by writing these sort of
frantic notes is I'm desperately trying
to find patterns um I'm trying to see
things that might be a common occurrence
that I can then try to internalize and
put back out in my own work and so after
I did five faces I painted a whole head
SL face from my imagination um in order
to see if I learned anything so so
that's personally what I did um for
those that want to try and replicate the
same sort of a study process I recommend
it but I do want to make sure to mention
like this everyone has their own way of
learning my process of How I Learned
might not work for other people people
learn through different means but if
you're interested how I feel like I
started really really improving a lot
was a very careful balance of the
following what I would do is I would
identify the problem so this would be if
I'm working on a portfolio piece and I'm
working on something and I'm like
painting the face and I'm repainting the
face and repainting the face and I'm
just like it doesn't look right I don't
know why it doesn't look right anytime
you catch yourself doing that start to
question if you actually understand what
you're doing if you don't understand
what you're doing then you've identified
a sort of a weak point you've identified
this thing that you don't actually know
what you're painting you are hoping to
get it to look a particular way then do
a study and this is a general term that
a lot of people use and what I mean by
doing a study what you're after when
doing any sort of a study is it's not
about being able to recreate an image
that you see uh copy an image one to one
perfectly in fact I find that that's
almost never completely necessary what
it is is you're going back and thinking
what is it that I am not doing right
what do I suck at and if you're thinking
oh okay I can't paint uh men's faces for
some reason right we'll go back to kind
of my previous studies I would actually
be questioning do I understand um proper
structure of the skull um do I even
understand like good head construction
um more than likely it's probably that
there's something actually wrong with
the perspective of of the skull and not
necessarily something wrong with like
the facial features of of these guys
that I'm painting um but let's say you
you're not even you know you're not
thinking that deep understandable right
just focus on the thing that you think
is wrong you're just thinking I can't
draw this dude's face for some reason
go draw some dude faces all right um and
then write notes as you go along try to
figure out like okay why does this work
why does this not work and it's okay if
you don't get it right this Brad Pit
looks awful I knew it looked awful back
then I knew this did not look like Brad
Pit that's okay it doesn't need to look
exactly like the reference what I'm
doing at this point is I am trying to
obtain knowledge through application of
skills and in doing so I will sort of
bring that knowledge back into my skills
in a way so it's okay this is where I
can mess up this is where things can
look wrong or messy and doesn't have to
be exactly right because what I'm trying
to do is learn so then after doing the
study you have to apply it now what I
mean by applying this could be a few
different things it could be as simple
as what I did here where it wasn't on
any sort of a major illustration or
anything I just knew I'm working on this
today so I'm going to also try to do
something for my imagination I'm going
to try and uh learn I'm going to try and
see what I learned from practicing this
if you're uncertain of how effective
this process is I'd say this add another
step before you even uh identify
potentially right let's say you just
have a task now that task could be
something simple right it could be as
simple as draw a AE head all right just
draw a head from your imagination all
right no reference whatsoever take as
much time as you need but draw a
portrait of someone and then you could
even look at that portrait and not see
there's a a strong possibility that you
could draw that portrait and not see
what's wrong with it um more than likely
you won't see what's wrong with it and
so maybe you can't even identify it at
this point so instead what you can do
after you give yourself this task do a
study right afterwards and then after
doing the study after that directly
apply it and you apply it by doing the
exact same thing you did before all
right so go back do the task after
you've done the study um and this time
apply what you just studied so this is
what it would look like so the task
could be draw a character all right uh
maybe just simple draw a portrait of a
character all right then do a study now
that study is probably more portrait of
that character maybe diversify it a
little bit maybe uh just it could be um
structure of skull it could be uh faces
that are similar actors actresses or
models or whatever that you might see um
doing those type of studies and take
lots of notes try to recognize things
try to see patterns you could do things
in anatomy books as well where maybe
you're going to Lumis Bridgeman Hogarth
um
Hampton and going through and doing some
of their Anatomy lessons but make it
relevant to the task that you just did
then apply and that application is the
same thing that you did for the task so
if this is Portrait then do studies then
portrait and both the task and the
application should be from your
imagination and I guarantee you it will
be like a night and day difference and
it's not because you were looking at
reference and following a guideline it's
it's because you practic you compared
what you tried initially you have an
understanding of what you think
something looks like then you compare it
to the world you see your mistakes you
internalize the fact that you made these
mistakes that you overcompensated for
something you made the cheekbones too
large the eyes too big whatever and then
you go back and you try to fix those
things the second time around this is
something that you could Implement in
your day-to-day if you have
you know an hour and a half to two hours
to draw every day and you will see a a
huge Improvement hopefully you found
this useful hopefully you found this
lesson informative uh if not yell at me
uh I'm sure you will and please if you
do this method uh let me know in the
comments let me know how it turned out
what your progress was like um I I'd
love to I'd love to hear about it um for
anyone interested I do have a Discord
you can join there you can post your
studies or whatever whatever sort of
progress that that you made and show
everyone else uh how how you ended up
doing okay bye
