I used to draw a lot in the past but was only able to do this by using tons of references which I copied side to side. Even then, drawing would always take me ages to finish to eventually get a result I wasn’t always happy with.
Instead of jumping into more advanced classes, I was interested in knowing what a beginner class could teach me since I never followed any courses. And I am so glad I did!
This course (and the next one) actually taught me the confidence and mindset to put a line on my paper and start. It showed me how a drawing can take shape from nothing, and how repetition eventually leads to having an intuition that helps you create your actual vision/imagination on paper. I started enjoying the process more than the end result, and after drawing a bit every day for 3 months now, I notice general growth.
Not every piece I draw is something I love, but thanks to the mindset I gained from this course, I finally get why it shouldn’t always be the case. You can learn so much from just trying it out. I guess I was often overthinking it? Following Mark just gave me the feeling it is okay to try something out, if it fails you remember it for your next one, if it succeeds you suddenly learned something new!
Genuinely thank you for these lessons, it really fueled a fire I lost 15 years ago.
