๐จ The video discusses the importance of understanding the fundamentals of drawing.
๐ Art has various elements, but Drawabox focuses on the core fundamentals of representational drawing.
๐ Regardless of the drawing style, all drawings depict objects from a three-dimensional world.
๐ Spatial reasoning is a fundamental aspect of drawing that combines form and perspective.
๐ Drawabox teaches the basics of perspective but only covers the bare minimum.
๐๏ธ Mark making is an essential skill in drawing and requires confidence and control.
๐ Observation is crucial in drawing real and solid objects rather than relying solely on memory.
๐ Drawabox focuses on studying source material closely to construct realistic objects.
๐ Spatial reasoning and controlled mark making are essential skills in drawing.
๐จ Learning how to think in 3D space is crucial for creating original art.
๐ It's normal to feel overwhelmed when starting to learn drawing, but it's important to persist and keep practicing.
๐ Drawabox is recommended for learning figure drawing, along with a book called 'Art Anatomy for Beginners' by Steve Huston.
๐ซ Drawabox does not teach light, colour, gesture, anatomy, or style, but focuses on 3D spatial reasoning skills.
๐ Each lesson in Drawabox explores a different topic, breaking it down into simple forms based on what can be physically seen.
โจ The approach in this lesson focuses on understanding how forms exist in 3D space and their relationships with each other.
๐ก Developing a strong understanding of 3D space helps in learning about light and shading.
๐ Style in drawing is a series of choices made to represent things in a specific way.
๐จ Style in drawing should be internally consistent and follow specific rules.
๐ Studying the work of other artists can help in developing a personal style.
๐๏ธ Master studies can be performed to explore specific aspects of other artists' work.
๐ Research the influences of artists to understand their stylistic choices.
๐จ As an artist, you can have multiple styles and may need to adhere to different stylistic rulesets.
๐ Focus on spatial reasoning, markmaking, and observation to build a strong foundation.
