'Abstraction and simplification are totally different concepts in this context, simplification is reducing information, abstraction is adding new information to get a different understanding or representation of the information.'
I agree that they're different, which is why I listed them seperately. The thing that puts them in the same category in this context is that both are ways of reducing the brain-capacity needed to accomplish a task.
'Again this all comes back to, if you can't draw a box how can you expect to draw a human.'
If what are you trying to say with that statement is that you need some understanding of form and perspective to get anything out of figuredrawing, I'm with you on that.
As for giving examples... you have to realize that you're asking me to call out artists on using a dead-end approach to learning, which seems like a really bad idea. No matter if what I say makes sense or not, it'll cause more trouble than it's worth. I hope that's reasonable.
'your understanding of form and proportion are still developmental. So i want to ask you, what is your plan on improving these things? This conversation directly relates to struggles you currently have with your own art, so even if the advice you follow isn't mine, there is something you need to sit down and work out.'
Aaah, why do you do this man? If you want to crit my art you're more than welcome, but you could just make a post in my cc entry or something. let's not have a discussion about our personal abilities in this thread.
