I keep trying to learn to draw but I simply suck at it no matter what. I’d love to learn how to draw all kinds of things like architectural drawings, or cute designs, etc. But I can barely even copy something if I have the picture right in front of me.

I’d like to take a class that teaches the basics of drawing that I could follow along with using Procreate or something. Does anyone have good recommendations for someone who seems unable to gain any proficiency at drawing?

    I really tried with that book, after a similar recommendation on pigboy’s site years ago - and it does have some useful techniques and ideas - but I just couldn’t get past her magical thinking proselytism. Every other paragraph, or so it seemed at the time.

    Without wishing to put everyone off it: her “why” is (demonstrably and unequivocally) bollocks, but her “how” is good.

      I don’t really remember, I guess that wasn’t a problem for me. Do you mean the left brain/right brain thing? I think I just treated that as metaphorical…
