Question: Lessons of learning to draw/paint. Yes or no?

Hey, I've got a question

Do you participate in lessons like that, i mean art lessons, drawing or painting practicing or you learn by your own?

I don't take drawing courses. And i think I'll never do. Drawing is just a hobby... and I don't draw that much. And don't even need to be good : it's just a hobby... so why would I take art courses?

Yeah I take it as a hobby to, but.... their are sometimes when i get really inspired, like when i see something new... then i get all serious and shit. But most of the time its in hobby mode, because there is really nothing new anymore.

I learned on my own. Most of time i just learn by doing and trying things out. Trial and error. I dont like online tuturiols by artists ( unless its done by a professional... a really good pro) because I don't trust them. Who knows you could pick up their mistakes and form bad habbits.

most plp going to say to learn and get better draw alot, but I think I improved the most when I drew less. Funny how that works huh.

Before i use to just draw alot of quick mindless doodles and I still do sometimes.

But when i slowed down and actully thought about what the heck im doing...Thats when i started um drawing, and not pooping.

Everybody different some plp need that extra push and some need to slow down.

yea that happens to me sometimes
slow down or stop - then im good or better
guess life stops and forces us to take a real look

hobby yea
but Im trying to accelerate in ways

I meant real courses and books, not internet. How long are you drawing? What a pity, I didn't draw when I was much younger ;/

how long are you drawing? i dont know
could you rephrase that?

How long you practice drawing, for example 5 years. Sorry about my english

Ive never taken art courses or anything but I intend to. Over the last year, I have improved extremely, from the crap I was posting on here a long time ago, to the stuff I post today. By no means, am I any good, but im decent enough for myself to just keep going. Now I have 4 years to improve before I go to a university, and I plan on improving enough to go an art college. The thing is, I cant do anything besides art, because its really the only thing I think about. Whenever I go outside I look for new hairstyles, the shape of people's eyes, the way they walk, the shape of a car, the shape of the clouds and stains on the floor. Thats pretty much how I learn in art. At first I just drew portraits, but realised they werent improving, so I began to simplify them to the point where now I know how to start any portrait. Thats how I learned the most, and are the best tools in art.
Learning from experience, and as Kimchi said, trial and error.

trial and error all the way

and forcing stuff to work

yea...

ive been doin it about almost coming up in august 2nd year
