How long to get good at drawing?
I just bought a Wacom intuos pro to start drawing and I've never been bad at drawing. Within a few weeks I was already impressing my art teacher because I didn't come off as the type to be able to draw. I was just wondering, how long would it take (even just copying the same image) to draw something like [url=http://www.mrwallpaper.com/wallpapers/beautiful-anime-girl.jpg] this[/url]?
Thanks.
New edit- The second photo I have drawn in a few years. Please critique it!

The more patience and conscience you have the faster you'll get better. Basically, be conscience about how the artist created their work(and try to imagine what they were thinking when adding dynamic into their art), and be patient enough to implement what you've learned from observing other art. And always be thinking that each stroke of the pen counts, it helps you be more [i]conscience[/i] of what you're doing. I always say, mastering dexterity and getting full control of your hand is the easy part, it's what you do with it after that is the hard part. You'll be good in no time with those 2 things.

2 days, tops. If you haven't got at least one masterpiece done in that time, you'll never get it right.

5 RepliesEdited by Capitons Wang: 9/13/2013 1:27:54 PMIt depends on innate talents, for me it was rather quick, others need practice, as with everything, the more practice the better you get. For your example >-45min-1 hr for a rough sketch of the drawing >-10-20 for hand painting Also im talking by hand, not using a comp or some 'tablet'

Just added a new photo. What are your thoughts?
-
Well OP they say it takes 10k hours to master something. So the simple answer would be somewhere on the order of a few months if you are lucky to years.

It isn't hard. In fact, most artists don't intend to draw the masterpieces they make, they sort of just express it. Like doing what they feel like. They just draw. I wasn't the best, but I know I was decent at drawing because I started drawing pictures of people when I was 10. I stopped around 15, I don't know why. Just draw and draw and draw, but be inspired. It's the imagination that brings talent in drawing.

Edited by Prototape: 9/13/2013 7:51:45 AMObviously it varies from person to person, but the more general answer is, as what people have been saying, a lot of practice. Make it a goal to draw something once a day, it doesn't have to be complex or amazing, it's just a brain/hand exercise. I just make a bunch of scribbles then start to pick out shapes to highlight, from there I let my imagination do its thing. I use that method mostly based off the Rorschach method, you show someone an ink blot and they'll all see something different depending on how they see the world. Which is basically what art is, a window in how someone perceives things. That being said, a tablet is going to make things more convenient, but by no means will it make you better. I learned that a while back when I bought mine. I'm still not very good, mostly because I haven't been practicing as much. Though I will say that drawing on Photoshop or other programs does give you some things that you don't have access to in real life. It's going to take a while for you to learn how to let your hand translate what you're imagining. It's just as physical as it is mental, and with anything, it's going to take a lot of work. As for personal experience, I have an edge because I've been using Photoshop for roughly eight years now. I haven't done much drawing, but I at least understand how it works, and more importantly how color works. I can get some very cool things going just by blending color together, but I've never been very good at actually drawing things. Try anything and everything until you find something that works for you, then build on it. Like I said, I just scribble things out and stare at it until something pops out to me.

Hours of practice every single day will yield proficient results.

1 ReplyJust like how you get good at anything. Hours and hours and hours of practice

2 RepliesIt pends on your drawing style and how fast you can learn to adapt. If your are committed, I guess 3 yrs. It would help if we could see something you're proud of that you made recently.
-
Well, I just started sketching little doodles in my new sketchbook. Here is the first result of me drawing. Keep in mind I've had no classes that taught me how to draw and I never doodled or was interested in drawing in the past. How is that for the first time in a few years?
-
It would take a while to do plus the coloring involved.

However fast you can draw the summoning circle and recite then incantation.

Edited by DemonicChronic: 9/13/2013 12:15:17 AMWell that all depends on your level of discipline and how much experience you have. Most people I've seen to produce work at that skill level usually do so within a few hours to half a day of actual time spent working. Of course, they all have a lot of practice under their belts.
-
Skill only determines the amount of time it takes to draw. If you're a master at drawing, you might be able to whip something like that up in hours. If you're not, it may take days, or even weeks. But the result is, theoretically, the same, as long as you keep at it.

7 RepliesYou don't "learn to draw", it's a birth thing as that guy below said; you've either got it or you haven't. Trust me, I learnt the hard way.

Edited by Durandal: 9/13/2013 12:11:03 AMHmm, that didn't seem that bad. Maybe a year of practice. (real practice, not just drawing what you want) Also, feel free to send me a message or anything if you want a critique or somethin'.

Practice
-
It depends on what classes you take, and how much you practice. I started with Drawing I, and moved on to Life Drawing and 2D Design. Taking a painting and illustration class would also help.
-
Edited by Flee: 9/12/2013 9:08:39 PMAll depends on your own personal talent. I've known people who were great artists without ever taking classes or practicing much at all, and then I know others who took drawing classes for 8 years and never reached a remotely decent level of skill.

8 RepliesHow long would it take? There's no definitive answer to this. As with everything, and I say this a lot, it's different for everybody. But practice and a passion helps. Plain practice can only get you so far if you don't enjoy it. Not only that but keep in mind with art that there are styles. Each artist has their own. It doesn't mean that you're worse or better because you have a different style. [spoiler]sometimes I catch myself thinking I'm not good enough because I can't use a style that I really enjoy seeing[/spoiler] Drawing digitally and traditionally vary from each other in many ways as well. I personally find that line art and sketches are more enjoyable on paper and coloring on the computer looks nicer. Allow yourself to adjust to a tablet. Because there's so many new tools and techniques at your disposal at a computer it's an excellent idea to experiment until you find what works for you. Along with all that there are many drawing programs to choose from. [spoiler]SAI, Photoshop, Illustrator, Painter, ETC.[/spoiler] Ultimately, however [unless you plan to create art for a living] draw for fun. Make what you like to make. Don't push yourself or feel rushed to get better. It's a common trap artists fall into. TL;DR I bewieve in you young gwasshoppa
