i want to take an online batch, since I can't afford offline batch costs rn. But there are quite a few to choose from, and I've heard some batches apparently don't complete their syllabus properly(?)
preferably one that will start with the basics, since my preparation was not at all good..
It has been about 6 years since I started learning art. I started during quarantine because I had free time. My most frequent way of learning was to use other people's art as reference and copy them. I have studied and copied a lot of artists as well as real references, and so much that I have become extremely well at copying anything. Give me anything, and I'll replicate it 100%.
But that's all I can do. I am unable to create anything of my own. I cannot draw or make anything from complete scratch, without a reference. Anytime I try to create something of my own, I mess up the proportions, texture, light, or even just get stuck. I am physically unable to comprehend how these people just draw these characters (or whatever they are drawing) from complete scratch, without any reference. I have always wanted to draw what I want to draw rather than copying other things, but I do get heavily discouraged when my own drawing is drastically worse than something I copy. And I have no idea how to improve
