I've seen some of your tutorials about anatomy; you are very good indeed, so I'd really appreciate if you could reply one vital question for me? Do you think that any middle talented artist can really learn artistic anatomy at your level?
Maybe the question is not too clear so I'll try it in a different way: Don't you think that apart of the good learning plan it depends 80% on the natural talent?
Jose- Considering that I am only of average "talent" myself, I would say yes.
I would say it is closer to 8% than 80. With anatomy it is probably near 0%. Like perspective it is almost entirely academic. With diligent study and practice anyone can learn it.
Dear E.M. Gist, Thanks for reply my previous question.
In regards to your answer: I agree with you, you can learn and improve, off course, but in order to get a high level or let's call it PRO level, I'm feeling that you need something more than that. Some people have a limited spacial visual capacity. Look at me: I can copy a figure quite well, but after many and many hours of learning anatomy In spite of a huge effort I cannot draw from memory a realistic figure properly; I cannot visualize the forms of the bones, muscles, etc. My PRO artists friends are able to visualize the full human figure, a horse, a car, etc., with no effort... Regards
