Someone mentioned SB, we started around the same time, yet, look at the difference between the two of us: it's astronomical. SB, and a few others at the time, went on to buy some art books, and torrent a few old ones, right?
Obviously, I tried out the same (only the torrent, because I was, and am still strapped for cash), yet, I find myself unable to absorb or really comprehend any of the information in these books. I've tried a few times to sit down and do it, start from scratch with art and learn from these, but I just can't seem to "get" it.
I could very well easily say that it might be because I'm more of a hands-on kind of guy, or that I do better with an actual teacher there, demonstrating and lecturing me, or I could even say that maybe it's because of a little (I'll get crap for saying it outright, but I"ll just say) "learning disability", but when it comes down to it, I feel like maybe I just can't do it. Like perhaps I have the inability? I've tried so many times, and I keep going back, but I just can't seem to get it. Blaming those things isn't going to get me anywhere, I know that for certain, but I feel like I've hit a brick wall.
I know, tl;dr, and I know it probably sounds stupid, but I just can't quite figure it out. |
