Self-study art is actually very simple! Many friends who pursue art often ask me where to go for further study or study. Actually, I don't think it's necessary There are countless people who have succeeded through self-study, and their success has been achieved through their own efforts. So I think success depends not on other people's education, but on our own efforts. Similarly, the success of painting is not in other people's minds, but in your hands! Then, if you really love painting, please start teaching yourself! If you find it difficult to teach yourself, please read my article patiently!

Of course, you may complain that there is no space and no object to draw. If you think so, I can only say that these are all excuses. Painting doesn't need much space. A sketch book and some pens are enough. What do you want to draw? Do we have to start with those expensive plaster models? It's not necessary. Start with the things around you. As small as a hairpin, a pen container, a book, as big as the whole world you can see, there is nothing you can't draw. So, don't lie to yourself unconditionally! All you have to do is seize all the time to practice!

Now many well-known western art colleges have given up the teaching of realistic painting. Why? Because realistic painting pays more attention to technology. As we all know, all technologies can be preserved in the form of words or pictures. For example, various series of technologies that can be seen in the market and so on. And with the continuous development of the network, many painting skills and even tutorials can be found online. Then this creates a good environment for your self-study. For example, there are many tutorial classes in our Baiyi Art Club. This makes it possible for you to teach yourself. Some netizens often tell us that I have made great progress after watching your videos or graphic tutorials. Sometimes after reading various tutorials, they will ask me some questions in the official group of Baiyi or directly. Whether they understand the truth directly from the tutorial or not, they are actually teaching themselves. In other words, with the environment of self-study, some people have already started self-study.

Then, in the environment of self-study, what other factors hinder your self-study? I think there are several reasons: lack of perseverance, lack of self-confidence, and I don't know if I really like painting.

Does it look like a lot of problems? But it's really just a matter of neatness. Do you really like painting? Suppose you really like painting and have the conditions to teach yourself to paint, then can you paint? Of course I can draw! So if you like painting, do you often train? Of course, I will also train often! So with the corresponding tutorial, will you look for the gap between yourself and the model? I think you can do it. If you often compare yourself with the template, will you improve your painting method? You will definitely improve the method. Will it improve after improvement? There is no doubt about it! Then will you have confidence? There will be! Because you are always making progress. So does this involve perseverance? There is no problem of perseverance at all. The so-called perseverance is just another manifestation of people's ability to endure torture. We don't have any torture or oppression here, so perseverance is not involved at all. And as long as you really love painting, you will find that all the problems are solved.

But why don't some people take action? I think the reason is that he gave himself too many excuses to take the first step. It's like many people want to lose weight, obviously need exercise, but for various excuses, they finally choose to diet. Because dieting doesn't need to be seen by others, you won't be shy, you don't need to sweat, and dieting won't make your thighs grow muscles! But it's actually because you are weak and don't want to bear the hard work of losing weight! Drawing is the same problem. Many people like painting, but they are unwilling to bear the hard work and are eventually abandoned. If you don't want to take the first step, then you will never enter the self-study of painting. But it's easy to take the first step, at least for painting! Don't face anyone, don't sweat, and don't worry about thigh muscles! All you need to pay is a sketch book, some pencils and an eraser! If you have all these, then you just need to find what you want to draw and follow it! This is your beginning, draw with your heart until you are satisfied, which will bring you endless fun ~!

In fact, not only painting, but also any knowledge can be mastered by self-study. Although you may not be an expert, at least you will know this field better than most people around you. Because I came here in this way, I want to make a website, so I spent more than a year in my spare time learning all kinds of knowledge about websites. Finally, I established the Baiyi Art Community. So I believe in self-study, and I firmly believe that truly successful people rely entirely on self-study, because no university can teach you all the knowledge that can guarantee your success!

American President Lincoln passed the bar exam on his own and eventually became president. Mr. Zheng, the king of fairy tales in China and the famous host, is also a self-taught teacher; There are many successful people in all walks of life, such as Ma Weidou, Li Ka-shing and Henry Fok, who have never received formal education. Not to mention painters, the masters of the past have not received orthodox education, and the conservative estimate is more than half. But it all worked. What does this mean? It shows that if you want to achieve something in painting, you need not formal education, but unremitting efforts. I believe that through your unremitting efforts, you will finally succeed!
