But there seemed to be a recurring patten among all their answers. • They all seem to agree that the biggest mistake that a beginning figure drawing artist makes is to tackle the subject, without properly learning the fundamentals. • In other words, they rush to drawing the figure, without first developing certain key skills that are critical to success. • And it's this unstructured approach that leads to many of the problems beginners experience. • To illustrate this better, let me tell you the story of my co-instructor Michael. • Now Michael is a very accomplished professional artist and teacher now. • But when he was first starting out, Michael was just an average person like you and me. • He knew he wanted to master figure drawing... and do it in the fastest time possible. • Eager to get started, he decided to skip learning some of the foundational skills (like proportion, perspective, gesture, and anatomy) and dive into drawing right away. • He chose reference photos from magazines and comic books and drew as much as he could. • He ran into problems here and there, but simple pushed through it with more practice. And sure enough, soon he started to see his drawing skills improve. • Michael was feeling very good about himself. • But then one day, when he decided to draw a figure from real life and from his own imagination, something very strange happened. • He suddenly found that all his well hone skills seemed to disappeared. • His drawing as a complete disaster! The proportions were way off. The figure look stiff and life-less. And there was absolutely no dimension to it. It just looked flat and cartoonish. • It was as if all his hours of practice didn't even matter! • Frustrated, Michael tried again. And again. And again! • But after many failed attempts, he finally realized the truth. • That all the key fundamental that he had skipped over - the ones that he thought was unimportant - had finally came back to bite him. • It was like trying to build a house without first setting up the proper foundation. And so everything just went crumbling down. • What he needed was to go back and build a solid foundation. • And so he had to start all over again and develop all the skills that he had missed. Except this time, it was even harder that if he was a complete beginner... because he had to unlearn all the bad habits that he'd picked up. • It took him a lot of work, but in the end, it all paid off. Now his drawings are better than ever.
