日本語: レッスン 1: 測定と抽象化の基礎: すべてのもの (描き方) の理論

In this class, instead of focusing on how to draw specific subjects, we’ll be teaching you how to teach yourself, with some help from niji.

For the exercise attached to this lesson, see Study 1: Measuring With Your Eyes

The Theory of (why) Everything (is beautiful)

I spent the majority of my life stuck in the gap between these two types of pictures.

midjourney: a girl, oil painting

Why do my art teachers think that that left one is not “real art”? Why do my friends think that the right one is “boring”?

(Also, there’s this stuff I really didn’t understand, which everybody seemed to think was very good)

I could brush it off as a matter of “taste”, or “style”, but I wanted to know a theory of art that encompassed everything.

That’s what we’ll be teaching in this course. They’re called the “fundamentals of art,” and once you understand how they work, you can draw anything!

The first half of this course will be focused on how to improve basic techniques, and the second half will focus on using those techniques to develop visual concepts. We’ll be using niji and methods from classical art together to personalize your experience!
