@AmyZenunim@unstable.systems to be fair with art specifically, it's worth learning the ability to Look At A Thing And Draw It. this is what a still life teaches you to do. then, you can use that ability to draw anything else ever. and if you can't do basic proportions and perspective everything you draw is gonna look like total shit

@eri @AmyZenunim this is a good skill to learn for art, but imo i wouldn't tell an absolute beginner to art to learn this. there are art skills that i think are more fundamental than perspective & observational drawing (how do you freehand draw straight lines? how do you draw a circle? how do you make color palettes that don't look like shit? if you're doing digital art, how do you get familiar with the UI?) and you can learn those skills by drawing basically anything, so it might as well be things you like
