--I actually don't understand what you are trying to communicate rotten. Perhaps you could reword that?

--It's a simple matter of beginners not being confident enough to see their progress when they do do studies. Instead they condense it down to 'that is what I want my work to be, yet this is how it looks'. Swatting down their doubts in the process is /almost/ aggressive. Guidance and helping people see their progress when accurate study is applied is more productive than swatting down what you call bad advise. It's not bad, it's just not yours

--and if I can't reproduce the contour or shape with some level of acceptable accuracy it feels as if I'm wasting time

--seems like every other "fundamental" of art relies on proper reproduction of what is observed by line or shape followed by implementation of a new idea

--This is again an example of somebody arguing against advice that they should be themselves taking.

--That is silly. The hardest part of art is training perception. beginners don't have the skill to see what is wrong. Accuracy studies are meant for that exactly

--dont worry about precision, you need to learn to be loose and fix things on the fly, makes things a hell of a lot easier in the long run

--i was curious about what you guys thought about approaching this from a strictly 2d copying contour approach as opposed to a block in with angles then refining into contour

--i'm grinding accuracy right now through various series of grids from dense to sparse moving through as I get them proper over miscellaneous images

--@Jun see you're sneaky, I don't actually know what your work looks like because you NEVER POST ANYTHING
