Go Tokyo Your Experience
Have you ever triedSketchTraining? Sketching has always been regarded as the foundation of various painting techniques. Whether it’s carving the skeletal structure of characters, analyzing the form of objects, capturing the interweaving of light and shadow, the thickness and layering of materials, or even creating a sense of space through the entire painting, sketching can significantly enhance your abilities. However, practicing sketching is indeed a time-consuming and tedious process.
Recently, a Japanese netizen posted a complaint about the various troubles of sketching practice, which has sparked heated discussions among art enthusiasts. Nevertheless, everyone unanimously agrees that although practicing sketching is tedious, it is still a reliable way to improve painting skills. Let’s take a look at this controversial complaint article together.
This Japanese netizen, a Twitter (X) user named Sagawa Jieyue, recently posted his thoughts on “practicing sketching”, which quickly attracted widespread attention. Here are his specific remarks:
I have found that my painting skills have not been able to improve, and the problem lies in the lack of precision between observation and hands-on experience
He said,And to improve this accuracy, the only way is through sketching practice. When I realized this, I really found it extremely troublesome
He continuedAfter all, I don’t intend to become a professional painter, and instead of spending my time practicing sketching, I have many other things to do, don’t I
Originally, Sagawa Jieyue was complaining that sketching practice was too troublesome. Although he is also aware that once he starts practicing, his painting skills will improve. But considering that I have no intention of pursuing the path of a professional painter, practicing sketching has become less important.
This roast article attracted a large number of netizens who were also doing sketch exercises to leave messages and respond, and they expressed their sympathy for this:
I understand very well. Every time I feel that sketching practice is extremely troublesome, I really don’t want to do it anymore
Hi, I’m the one who gave up drawing because I thought sketching practice was too painful
I understand… but sketching practice can indeed improve painting skills
To learn to observe and put it into practice, it’s not just about drawing, it applies to everything
For those who aspire to make progress, I really recommend practicing sketching because it can significantly improve their drawing skills
I also smiled, and I shared the same opinion. However, as long as I persist, progress will come in clusters. Therefore, I have decided to continue working hard
I admit that I am the one who was lazy about sketching and eventually gave up learning to draw
