I keep trying to learn to draw but I simply suck at it no matter what. I’d love to learn how to draw all kinds of things like architectural drawings, or cute designs, etc. But I can barely even copy something if I have the picture right in front of me.

I’d like to take a class that teaches the basics of drawing that I could follow along with using Procreate or something. Does anyone have good recommendations for someone who seems unable to gain any proficiency at drawing?

    i didn’t learn art from tutorials; it’s mainly some passion, some practice, and then going to art school where i learned new techniques, then stopping and finding my true passion in game programming.

    anyway, a couple of tips:

    • draw what you see, not what you think you see; to illustrate, take a picture, flip it upside down, and try to copy that in procreate
    • pay attention to negative space; that’s the space between objects. if you’re drawing a still life of a fruit bowl, focus on area around the fruit bowl.
