Resumo

TLDRThe video emphasizes the importance of efficient learning techniques for improving drawing skills, especially for self-taught artists. It suggests focusing on isolated components of drawing, practicing them repeatedly, and incorporating new skills progressively. This method contrasts with sporadic extensive drawing sessions, advocating instead for regular shorter sessions that hone specific skills, like perspective or basic shapes. Such consistent practice leads to quicker mastery and prevents the formation of bad habits, ultimately enhancing one's ability to create more complex artworks over time. The key takeaway is that learning to learn efficiently can significantly accelerate progress.

    is it possible to learn to draw faster
  • 00:00:03
    is it possible to spend the same time
  • 00:00:06
    drawing but to go further in that time
  • 00:00:10
    yes it is let me explain when we learn
  • 00:00:13
    to draw as a self-taught artist and I
  • 00:00:16
    assume you're a self-taught artist
  • 00:00:18
    because you're watching this video
  • 00:00:20
    rather than sitting in a class having a
  • 00:00:22
    teacher teach you I'm having to actually
  • 00:00:24
    learn two things when I learn to draw I
  • 00:00:28
    have to learn to draw but I also have to
  • 00:00:31
    learn to learn at the same time because
  • 00:00:35
    drawing is a skill but learning is a
  • 00:00:38
    skill as well and just as there are
  • 00:00:41
    better ways to learn to draw there are
  • 00:00:44
    better ways that we learn to learn and
  • 00:00:47
    if we don't properly appreciate that we
  • 00:00:50
    need to learn to learn then we're
  • 00:00:53
    probably not going to have an approach
  • 00:00:55
    to learning that will enable us to learn
  • 00:00:58
    as well as we can as effectively as we
  • 00:01:01
    can as much for the time that we spend
  • 00:01:04
    doing it as we could and because we're
  • 00:01:07
    learning to draw we probably want to be
  • 00:01:09
    able to draw pictures to create artworks
  • 00:01:13
    but this very understandable and great
  • 00:01:16
    aim can actually lead us down a winding
  • 00:01:20
    path that means it will take us much
  • 00:01:22
    longer to get to the place we want to
  • 00:01:24
    get to or in fact we may not even get as
  • 00:01:27
    far along the path it may be a different
  • 00:01:30
    path that will take us further faster
  • 00:01:33
    and here's that better path from a
  • 00:01:36
    learning point of view from a learning
  • 00:01:38
    tolearn point of view in general terms
  • 00:01:41
    we get further Faster by isolating small
  • 00:01:45
    components of what we're trying to learn
  • 00:01:48
    and working on them
  • 00:01:50
    intensely repeatedly and then once we've
  • 00:01:54
    mastered to some degree at least those
  • 00:01:57
    elements we add new ele elements to it
  • 00:02:00
    that we then learn to incorporate into
  • 00:02:03
    what we've already learned and we repeat
  • 00:02:05
    those until we've reached a level of
  • 00:02:08
    competence with those and at the same
  • 00:02:10
    time we're still consolidating those
  • 00:02:13
    first elements that we began and then we
  • 00:02:15
    introduce a new element and at this
  • 00:02:17
    point we do the same thing we
  • 00:02:20
    incorporate the new element we really
  • 00:02:23
    consolidate those second elements and
  • 00:02:25
    those first elements we did we can do
  • 00:02:27
    without thinking we've had so much
  • 00:02:29
    practice so regularly and you can see
  • 00:02:32
    the pattern and you can see the way it
  • 00:02:34
    builds relatively quickly where there
  • 00:02:36
    are some skill elements now that we've
  • 00:02:39
    done so repeatedly for such a long
  • 00:02:41
    period of time that we've developed such
  • 00:02:43
    a level of of skill and practice that we
  • 00:02:46
    don't even think about it there are some
  • 00:02:48
    perhaps we're having to think a bit
  • 00:02:49
    about a little bit of an effort but
  • 00:02:53
    basically we have them under our belt
  • 00:02:55
    and then there are the most recent ones
  • 00:02:56
    that we're still having to really apply
  • 00:02:58
    ourselves to concentr with and we start
  • 00:03:01
    with the most fundamental elements for
  • 00:03:03
    what we want to draw if I want to draw
  • 00:03:05
    buildings there's no point me learning
  • 00:03:07
    how to draw brick work if the angles of
  • 00:03:09
    my walls look all wrong if I choose to
  • 00:03:12
    do a 10minute skill learning exercise
  • 00:03:16
    every day instead of a 2hour drawing
  • 00:03:19
    once a week then I'm probably going to
  • 00:03:22
    learn those skills 10 times faster than
  • 00:03:25
    I will with my Weekly Drawing and it's
  • 00:03:28
    not just because I'm doing them every
  • 00:03:31
    day but I'm only working on one or two
  • 00:03:33
    skills in particular but I'm also not
  • 00:03:36
    having to do the full two hours of
  • 00:03:38
    drawing incorporating all the elements
  • 00:03:41
    of a full drawing that I'm actually not
  • 00:03:44
    working on at the moment possibly don't
  • 00:03:46
    need to work on or I do need to work on
  • 00:03:49
    but I can't work on everything at once
  • 00:03:51
    it ends up being a tremendous time saer
  • 00:03:54
    as well as such an effective way to
  • 00:03:57
    learn and build on our skills and if I
  • 00:04:00
    sit down for 10 minutes every day I'm
  • 00:04:02
    still remembering perhaps even almost
  • 00:04:05
    feeling the pen in my hand drawing
  • 00:04:07
    whatever I did the day before and that
  • 00:04:09
    becomes my starting point but if it's a
  • 00:04:12
    week or two weeks between drawings
  • 00:04:14
    there's possibly very little of the
  • 00:04:16
    drawing experience from the previous
  • 00:04:18
    session that I'm still carrying enough
  • 00:04:21
    to be able to use to my advantage and if
  • 00:04:24
    every week or so I'm trying to do a
  • 00:04:25
    proper drawing then I'm probably being
  • 00:04:28
    tempted to draw an impressive subject to
  • 00:04:31
    make my drawing look better and so it's
  • 00:04:34
    really easy to choose a subject that's
  • 00:04:36
    simply too hard for my learning level
  • 00:04:40
    and that makes my learning even more
  • 00:04:42
    difficult and less effective and if I'm
  • 00:04:45
    always doing lots of things not quite
  • 00:04:47
    right in my big
  • 00:04:48
    drawings then I'm actually learning bad
  • 00:04:51
    habits that at some stage at best I'll
  • 00:04:54
    have to put time into learning to undo
  • 00:04:57
    at worst I'll always have them with me
  • 00:05:00
    but if I'm working on skills I can
  • 00:05:02
    isolate those skills and perhaps just
  • 00:05:04
    even work on them in basic shapes and
  • 00:05:07
    then I can add some basic elements to
  • 00:05:10
    the perspective a few windows and doors
  • 00:05:13
    and I can learn how to do those really
  • 00:05:15
    well I can draw cottages and houses and
  • 00:05:19
    eventually I can work my way up to
  • 00:05:22
    drawing the M du in Paris but I don't
  • 00:05:25
    start there I gradually increase not
  • 00:05:28
    just the compl it of my subject but also
  • 00:05:32
    the complexity of all the other skill
  • 00:05:35
    elements I've been learning the
  • 00:05:37
    perspective the foreshortening creating
  • 00:05:40
    the effect of depth and so on and it
  • 00:05:43
    still only takes me a short period of
  • 00:05:45
    time every day because most of what I'm
  • 00:05:49
    needing to do doing it this way I've
  • 00:05:52
    learned well how to do it correctly and
  • 00:05:56
    the new component is still relatively
  • 00:05:59
    small small every day and then when I do
  • 00:06:02
    do my long 2hour drawings I've learned
  • 00:06:05
    in one of my practice sessions how to
  • 00:06:07
    create the effective brick work I don't
  • 00:06:09
    have to think about perspective because
  • 00:06:11
    I've been doing that accurately for so
  • 00:06:13
    long now that I can start to enjoy
  • 00:06:16
    creating artworks not just the process
  • 00:06:19
    of drawing but also the creating of
  • 00:06:22
    drawings that I feel proud of good day
