Relying on my imagination is the easiest (which is not the same as the fastest or the best) way to learn to draw just what I want to draw. But yes, you are right. I learned English without that grammar, structure and pronunciation. The result of that is that there were tiny mistakes everywere (and still) which I just did not know off, and had stayed for much longer time as needed. However, this also enabled me to never think about English, and never having to bother myself with learning English in a way I did not like.
I think the same goes up with this anatomy thing, my preferred (but slow) way would be to first have my memory collect loose parts of information, and once I am a few steps further connect those things with proper and relyable knowledge. Yes, this might also include unlearning. But is the aim to have fun or is the aim to do things perfect?
Anyway, now that I have came here already, ill try my best as long as I am working on this to also develop my anatomy knowledge by sketching and whatnot.
Than about the practise makes perfect thing: I really am limited in my fine motoric skill in a way I can not explain. Of course, I am able to improve, but not able to get perfect. For the same reasons no one will ever be able to read my hand writing.
But excuses wont get me any further in life, so I will keep on trying, practising and drawing
And there are secrets to drawing, I find new ones every day
. But knowing them does not automatically improve things
Back to the artwork, thats what we are here for
I took your advice, daemon, to create volumes instead of lines. I am quite used to lines, but in the past few months I am realizing more and more what you can do by creating shapes of colors instead of loose lines
I drew over the original with some bigger brushes, and came to this.
Am I heading in the right direction? Of course nothing is cleaned, but maybe there are now already things to be point out
