How much can you improve in one year? Is there a human limit for that?

in what metric?

>>3040860
Just try it lol Nobody knows your limits

>>3040860
I want to know this too. I'll be studying to become a nurse for the next seven years starting this august. Am I going to make it?

>>3040860
depends on how well you can use your brain and how much discipline you have

>>3040860
What does it matter? You're not going to hit that limit anyway, especially if you're wasting time asking a pointless question instead of drawing. Go practice.

in my experience of artists/friends around me, the people who worry about these sorts of things instead of drawing rarely ever make it

just draw

>>3040860
Stop thinking about it and just go.

That's this boards biggest problem. Always preparing, but never working.

If an absolute limit had to be drawn, your memory is your downfall - it's pointless to learn hundreds of bones and muscles if you've forgotten half of them the next year.

To answer your question, I think you may take a look at the guys going to FZD school (before/after pictures on their website), it shows that even when grinding like absolute madmen there's some limit. Maybe a neurosurgeon could explain that but I ain't one.

But then people say that you have to be smart about your learning and efficient etc.

SO WHAT IS IT PEOPLE? MAKE UP YOUR MINDS

Anon, there are all kind of methods to learn things, spaced repetition, method of Loci, Feynman technique, etc.
His point is probably that you should better begin to draw right now and correct as you go, trying different methods to find which one works best. You'll go further this way than by waiting to be prepared. That's how I ended with GB of books on my hard drive, don't be me.

In my opinion, step 1 is "just draw", when you're an absolute beginner you need to put pencil to paper and get mileage. After you fuck up for between a few hours to a week you'll have a solid grasp of how bad you are at everything, and then consulting virtually any decent book will be of great value to you. But if you constantly waste your time worrying that your practice isn't efficient enough, it'll just paralyze you.

'Optimal' strategies only really become particularly relevant once you're an intermediate, and by then you should be savvy enough to be able to self-direct your learning based on your own observations of your flaws. Even then it should never be paralyzing that you're not "practicing right".

Seems like a pointless thing to know, you should just start drawing.

>>3040890
How did he improve so much?

>>3040959

Photobashing and 3D

>>3040860
Fuck the question, I want to know the source on the doggo. Where can I find more images like this, because I feel like that dog is literally my spirit animal.

>>3040959

Grinding fundamentals 16 hours a day at FZD.

I redid a drawing from about 11 months ago, it's close enough

>>3043687
hey basquiat

>>3040860
I literally draw like an entirely different person than last year... and in a good way. To be honest I'd say the sky is the limit.
