"just draw" is bullshit made by pretentious retards who dont want to actually give advice but also answer someone with something simple so they can feel smart
it completely ignores all the fundamentals like shapes and shit that you need to learn before you can actually draw something
"just draw" is how you stagnate for the rest of your life

It has been said, time and time again. Chris thinks he’s hot shit and that his art is what everyone should strive for. Of course he’s not going to improve because he not TRYING to improve.

>Being so mentally deficient, so fucking retarded to think "just draw" means "never think and self-critique".
>Trannigger never improved in 15 years after creating shitty doodles from memory without questioning about perspective or body proportions or anatomy EVER
If you still do that shit after a year you're truly the very definition of inferior. I am sorry but God cursed these people.

Your sort of right. It's a meme but still there's a deeper meaning to just draw which can be lost on nodraws

its better to draw than to not draw at all. Its like how you going to learn to swim if you don't go in the water to swim? but i understand.. that's not helpful advice to just tell someone to "just draw" instead of actually giving specified advice.

Do you guys actually think "just draw" means "LOLLLLLL HURR DURR DRAW BOX OVER AND OVER AGAIN"? Cause if you do, then honestly fucking it probably is over for you if you're that fucking obtuse. If you asked someone "hey how do i build muscle and get healthy" and they reply "Go to the gym" Do you faggots actually think he means just go to the gym and just stand there for 2 hours?

I agree, quality of your practice is just as important as the quantity. If you're aware of your weaknesses and actively try to overcome them with every drawing, you'll improve faster than someone who just draws mindlessly constantly.

It doesn't mean anything, to improve you need to focus on a specific shortcoming.

If you're here, at /ic/, then it can be assumed you have access to everything you need. Nothing useful can be said to you. Most people who CAN get good just need to hear that it's POSSIBLE to get good outside of a structured academic setting, and to be pointed to resources.
The problem is, overwhelmingly, most people can't self-direct in the arts. Artists take it for granted that people like drawing as they do, and can figure out how to solve creative problems. They assume if the interest is there - genuine interest - the skill will follow with time and practice. Just draw.The fact of the matter is, no, you're not supposed to draw lines and boxes and other stupid shit, or abstractly practice "fundamentals," until it's okay to "start." You start, and then figure out if you personally want to draw lines and boxes and other stupid shit and you practice "fundamentals" on the job. Most people need to purchase a course or hoard tutorials, hoping that a financial commitment or a cache of knowledge will spark real interest. Figure out if you're like most people.

Does chris chan even draw a lot though? I don't think I've ever seen anything from him that wasn't the comics, and there aren't really that many issues of them

Anon10/16/25, 00:02No.7759908
chrischan is mentally retarded, in the medical sense. it's like comparing yourself to a downie. maybe you are when making this low-effort clickbait to satiate your need for attention, attention your parents never gave you, nor anyone really

You know, for how much of a drooling retard Chris is, and how seemingly incapable he is of learning, there's actual improvement over the years.

What if you did the Saito Naoki method but with Chris as the model artist? Could you learn to draw like him?

stop posting this ass cancer already and find good work to improve or inspire you to become a better artist, but posting retard autism just to make you feel better about yourself contradicts why we're here trying to learn---from more advanced sources.

Exactly, you just proved why just draw is the best advice for a beginner. You tell a person about the fundamentals and they want to know which ones to focus on, which teachers to learn from, which masters to copy, which tools are the best, which style should they follow to not halt their growth...But you tell him to "just draw" he'll discover what he wants to draw on his own and as he sees flaws he'll naturally gravitate towards resources as he needs them rather than being overwhelmed with the massive amount of topic he could start with. Like how you realized you need to work on shapes, now you have a goal that you've given yourself based on your practice, not what some random person on the internet (probably not even Japanese) says is the magic pill to learn.

>it completely ignores all the fundamentals like shapes and shit that you need to learn before you can actually draw something
You learn all these concepts by drawing, not before drawing, you moron. What you are describing is the act of hearing about the concepts, not LEARNING them.
You still need to put in the practice, which is the most important part.
The JUST in just draw doesn't mean you have to draw mindlessly, it means you should shut the fuck up already and go practice drawing.
You low IQ idiots are fucking insufferable.

Anon10/17/25, 09:31No.7761824
"just draw" is good advice for reasonably intelligent people
if you have fucking eyes and a functioning brain, you can look at what you did and make corrections
you can draw from life or from reference and compare your results
you can think critically about the work you like and decompose it into chunks you can practice on your own to achieve similar results
"just draw" is useless for retards
but retards are also not going to get there with detailed instructions and hand holding, so fuck them
