  • When I draw on a desk, and I have a computer near in front of me, I get lower back pains when I draw when I look like I am writing, but technically drawing, but I move the canvas a lot, and the dimension turns the same. I dunno, is there any recommendations?

  • Well, I think I address these issues in the video. Is your pad flat on the desk, or at an angle? Is it centered in front? 45 degrees? You will have trouble if not.

  • Sometimes I like to rotate the canvas, but mostly 40% of my time-consumption on a drawing is mostly flat on the desk.

  • +YOu should leave the pad in the same position for the most oart, and if it is flat onthe table, you will have distortion.

  • Thanks for sharing your experience. "I don't have to think about what I'm going to do next" is a sentence that captures the wealth of experience you have. Thanks again.

  • Well, its like tying a tie. If you think about it too much, you can't do it!

  • There is a risk of demotivating beginners. It's important that they draw any time, any place, no matter what the surface is. I know lots of people who went the path of having a special table, special paper, special pen, books, etc and simpy lost interest. Drawing has to be something sponteous for beginners, not some lonely corner in the house. Anyway, that's juts my 2 cents.

  • Practice does not make perfect. Perfect practice makes perfect. If you practice wrong all your life, you accomplish little.

  • @jdelgadosegovia haha !!

  • Ya i know what you maen about this.

  • You should learn to draw everywhere

  • Someone has OCD lol

  • @djtrendzsetta What is perfect practice? Practice is Practice only when it is "Deep Practice" that is, Mistake-focused learning practice.

  • You just relieved me from backaches that were getting me crazy! =D

    Thanks very much!

  • Mr Rogers Neighbourhood.

  • I wondered if this guy is trying to mAke us jeleous lol

  • Why this guy only talk and talk but do nothing? =(

  • @djtrendzsetta Dude you're a pessimist as are the 12 people who thumbed up your comment. Practice does make perfect but, you have to LEARN from the practice to actually progress. So shut the fuck, just because you didn't learn anything from your practice doesn't discredit the phrase. I repeat you're just a pessimistic prick.
