--yes, but that's just as true for construction

--Are you talking specifically breaking things down, as you're copying the subject?

--or maybe i just badly communicated, but basically when you are copying the point is that you are doing it all on the logical side to begin with

--I've had epihanies from just doing things from reference. Things like exactly what level of sharpness an edge needs to have to make a form read, how different values need to intersect, compositional stuff, relationships between lines, points and shapes, etc. Copying isn't some kind of mindless subconscious thing.

--I'm trying to get better at communicating this stuff, because it is really fucking difficult to communicate.

--I think if you try to LEARN the language, you might have a hard time, if you learn the concepts, programming is easy

--It's not about difficulty... it's about c being low level as in you write operating systems, and java you use to write your grandmas website

--So for example, lets say you want to draw a box, you use your high level knowledge to plan it, and your subconcious to let you know that you fucked it up.

--The reason why you don't get as many epiphanies from copying is that it is training the subconcious, epiphanies are high level logic.

--You need to do BOTH, and you use both skills at all times. Construction is high level problem solving, and accuracy is training your sub concious to take over tasks from your logical brain

--Fair enough, that kind of copying has its merits. You can only use copying to get relationships right if you already have a feel for perspective and construction though.
