SCI FORUM GALLERY - Talent drop-in

This is hard to believe.

I never had the amazing natural ability to draw. I learned everything through practice. I know many artists and none of them prove to be an exception.

I would like to see examples if its possible.

no problemo, but they will have to be scans of photos so picture quality won't be good, the samples I shall provide will be ones done as a child....hence photos ...watch this space..hehe I even have a photo of me as a teen (age 15) with a few pics I drew on my bedroom wall as the back drop, not exactly Rembrant, but not bad and not taught......coming soon to the sciforum talent drop in 'Art by ToR.........' oh and no laughing at very dodgy 80's hair doo!

I am really surprised you don't acknowledge natural artistic ability? It's no different to natural music ability. All my family can draw, I think it's genetic and hereditry.

Why would it need a helmet? It seems that the hole armor is good enough, helmet only adds coolness, nothing practical.

Your legs.

- It doesn't necessarily have anything to do with lessons, it has to do with proper practice.

- No child has ever been born who could "fluently" play a musical instrument without the right kind of practice either

define proper practice, u said no such thing as natural talent, there is such a thing! end of

I never practiced I could just draw

just like I can write upside down, backwards, mirror u name it right hand left hand, no practice required, I just can
I can read any which way too

 

Natural talent I never denied, natural ability I'm more sceptical to. And note that I'm not talking about motorics or "having an eye for beauty" here - I'm talking about ability to realistic drawing (which is the best basis of simplifications of reality, such as carricatures or animé-style stuff)

Drawing realistical images of the real world requires non-conceptual thinking - in other words "you must unlearn what you have learn". To illustrate, someone without this practice looks at an eye, lets this impression go through the whole process of conseptualization in his head and ends up drawing a symbol of "eye" using a certain method, e.g. an almond shaped thing with a dot in the middle.

Seeing that before aquiring some kind of language, no one has any ability to draw whatsoever (as far as I know, that is) - this trap is pretty much unavvoidable.

An experienced and skilled artist, on the other hand, will not draw a symbol, but will simply draw what she sees directly without conceptualizing.
