horrible things I say to myself

when I don’t like what I draw

horrible things I say to myself when I don’t like what I draw

"There are so many better artists than me, why would anyone need me?"

"Practicing is pointless for me, I can never catch up to my artist idols anyway.”

"No matter what I do, I don't have what it takes to be a creative professional."

"There is nothing in store for me in art"

"I'm just a try-hard person trying to do art, and secretly I know I will never be as good as them"

"The more I try to improve it, the worst it gets"

"I always feel that my art isn't that worthy, especially when I finish a piece and then I end up not posting on IG, and sometimes deleting it so nobody can see how bad I am at it."

These are actual things real students told me they say to themselves when they don’t like what they draw.

We call it:

the inner bully

This little prick is a voice that lives inside the heads of creative and artistic minds.

It’s there to help us find mistakes and improve our skills, but sometimes it can be too harsh and makes us feel worthless and tempting us to give up.

One student kindly shared 2 specific drawings where his inner bully started tormenting him.

Yes - there is room for improvement. Does that mean we need to beat ourselves down to the point of feeling miserable?

“ENOUGH! It’s time to improve!”

We say with confidence.

So we go to YouTube and Internet Tutorials, but there is so much information, it’s hard to know what links are useful and which ones are not.

It can get confusing.

One student wrote:

“I have tried to find these kinds of info about drawing or animation on every platform but didn't get much useful applicable info. I’ve tried Facebook, Twitter, deviant art, YouTube and many others. It’s all very confusing”

Another student wrote:

“When I try to do what the tutorial says, what I do doesn’t look as good as whay they show on screen. I don’t feel like I am improving at all.”

we need an upgrade

As you might know, we had a Drawing Training called The Rogue Mangaka, and it was composed of 3 stages.

If you were not able to get any of the Stages, then I am sorry to tell you that we just closed doors to that training yesterday.

Students who got it in time will have lifetime access to it, but we won’t be accepting new students to that training.

Why?

Because now we upgraded the Rogue Mangaka into the next revolutionary way of learning to draw faster.

After 2 years of research helping 817 Students improve their drawing skills, and having 1on1 calls with many of them, we found out a problem with that program.

You had to do through Drill Exercises that where effective, but painfully boring.

We thought of doing a Gamification Platform where you could deliver your exercises

Users could track how many drawings they were delivering, and they could get insights about their consistency when trying to draw every day.

It was good! (In theory at least)

We tracked the usage, and noticed that students used it for an average of 2-3 weeks, and then, they would stop using it.

After having 1on1 calls with some of you, most students would say things like: "I know, I am sorry, I will get back to it as soon as I finish something else”

Which is code for: “I got bored and I don’t want to do it anymore, but I don’t want to hurt your feelings”

For me this was a RED ALERT.

Yes, this training and the worksheets were effective. At the end you could be drawing like this:

The problem was THE PROCESS. It was, well… BORING.

To achieve that level, you had to go through painfully boring worksheets - it was around 1000 different drawings that students would usually quit.

Some few were very disciplined, and kept going, like Waylon Meyers.

waylon meyers before and after

But even Waylon had to stop those worksheets and do something else for his training, because it was not fun to do - the worksheets required tons of repetitions.

Our conclusion was Effective + Boring = Procrastination Forever.

That is the problem we also see in the traditional school system.

Yes! If you read those academic books, do your homework, and pass your exams, you become knowledgeable.

The problem is that... IT’S FREAKING BORING!

A very candid review I got from a student who I became really good friends with said:

"I found Rogue Mangaka a little soul-destroying in its methodology” -John MacDonald.


Ouch.

John - If I could give you a medal for your honesty, I would. Thanks!

After reading this, another student wrote to me saying:


“I thought I was the only one getting bored with the exercises! I felt so bad about it, but now after reading this, I feel a huge relief.”


You see, these are the type of comments WE LOVE to hear because those are the ones who help us find the problem with our training.

If we know you are honest, and you later tell us that you are loving our course, we know it’s good :D

That is why we are now creating a brand new powerful training built from the ground up, we are working our brains out to make it fun, and getting feedback on every new challenge we set for our students.

Introducing: Drawing for animation masterclass.

ENROLL NOW

Where we are taking the best of Rogue Mangaka, giving it a twist, and presenting it in a more interesting way that Students actually enjoy.

The new twist we have is:

Very simple formula, BUT IT WORKS!

we accept students of all levels

We are especially looking for beginners with no drawing skills.

But if you already have experience, we also have a place for you.

Before you start your training, you go through a series of tests to find out “where you are” in terms of skill.

And then, you can continue your training from there.

If you are a beginner - you start from the very beginning.

If you already have some experience in drawing, depending on your test scores, you might start training in the advanced material.

here are some examples

The beginner challenges start from mastering just one line and dividing it in parts:

And an advanced example is from a challenge that Milkyas, one of our Pre-Beta testers is doing in this training. He has mastered 1-Dimensional Thinking and 2-Dimentional Thinking, and now he is doing exercises to start thinking in 3D.

The challenge consisted in taking a drawing he liked from the internet, and pick some element he liked from it.

In this case, he picked the Skull hanging on his side. Then he is to take that skull and draw it in as many angles as he can, he has to imagine it as a 3D Shape.

This is what he told me after the session for that challenge:

And in the sessions prior to making this training public, students were having so much fun testing ideas.

Not only that, but we also brough in Masters from the Industry to help you get results faster.

SAO ALICIZATION

The genius of this new approach we are taking to teach how to draw is that, to really master anatomy in a fun way, the best thing you can do is practice with a rough sketch animation.

This is an example of the Advanced Tests to do when you start combining Perspective + Anatomy drawing.

perspective + anatomy

30-drawing challenge

perspective + anatomy
30-drawing challenge

If the challenge is to complete:

30 drawings of Human Anatomy in different poses

For a total time investment of 3 hours

Which approach sounds

more interesting to do?

Which approach sounds more interesting to do?

Notice that instead of boring yourself to death by repeating the same anatomy drawing again and again, you just create a sequence of a character moving - using many different anatomy positions.

Both take 3 hours to do and

Both need 30 drawings for different sketches of body poses...

And yet... somehow both feel different.

You can clearly see that one is way more fun to do than the other. Just quick sketches to practice anatomy can be A LOT OF FUN when you have the guidance of the masters.

The exciting thing is that, instead of thinking of a static drawing, you start thinking of drawings that have movement.

After a full session of drawing and drawing, just hitting the play button and watching your drawings come to life feels like nothing else.

It’s like you are creating magic.

the most fun & entertaining

way of learning how to draw is by

watching your drawings come to life

the most fun & entertaining way of learning how to draw is by watching your drawings come to life

After drawing for a long time, hitting play and watching it move feels like a REWARD at the end of the day.

A great way to finish your practice session with a big smile!

simple 8-drawings

An example. For one of the Anatomy Challenges you need to do a simple sequence of character turning around and doing an action in 8 drawings.

Instead of doing 8 different drawings to practice 8 positions, you put them all in sequence, hit play and you get this.

10-drawing head turn

Instead of practicing 10 different head positions and bore yourself to death...

You put it inside a simple frame by frame animation software, and then...
