Good Or Bad Drawing Tutorials
This includes drawing tutorials, free or otherwise, the whole point of which (just in case you don't know), are to provide information about how to do something.
They should be clear and concise, giving good sound information that takes you from not knowing how to do something to knowing how to do it.
I expect you may already know this so you might now be asking why I am telling you.
Knowing how to do something is really only half of the battle for a number of reasons.
What if you are being shown how to do something but the methods being used are actually more difficult methods? What if these tutorials are showing you something that is too advanced for your level of understanding, thus making it more difficult for you to progress and understand? What if the person writing the tutorial doesn't know how to draw? They may actually leave important information out because they don't know it? Generally speaking, much of the information available online is not always written by the site owners and they often don't even know their subject.
In many cases this may be because they are just doing it as a way of making money.
This often happens online in my experience, because site owners will pay others to write information for them.
This of course doesn't mean it is good or that they know their subject.
If, as is likely, you don't know what you're doing either, you won't know if it's good or bad? What if you get put off by tutorials because of the reasons I have just mentioned and many others besides.
These are only a few of the potential problems as there isn't enough room here for an essay on all of the negative possibilities.
You might be glad to know that tutorials do help.
Good or bad they bring benefit to the user, in most cases anyway, and you will find out for yourself if you really want to learn.
If you don't then you won't.
The truth is good or bad information is all actually good.
The difference really is that bad information will slow you down whereas good information will speed you up or, at least enable you to progress more efficiently.
If you really want to learn your subject thoroughly, then you will need to utilize a range of tutorials.
In fact, if you really want to learn about your subject at all, you will anyway, with or without tutorials, good or bad.
The truth or fact of the matter is this, knowing the least best way to do something is as important as knowing the best way.
In many cases this is because it will enable you to find better ways of learning or better drawing tutorials.
The best drawing tutorials in the world do exist and they start with you but, that is another article about how to draw easy.
