There many stage of study i would and it cycle back each time you want to the mastery to a next level
Step 1 observation/copying by taking note and understanding the subject by drawing it over and over again in different angle and lighting scenario to creating a higher chance to create a strong illusion of the subject existing in a 3d space .
Step 2 Doing master study to understand how pro have tackle the subject.
Step 3 creating fake project to create a reason to experiment new media/new style etc...
Sorry if this is almost the same thing being repeated over and over again it= just thought it would be interesting to create a sense of Progression and cycle.
I think there's a bit of misunderstanding here... I talked about master piece, not master study. I agree that master studies are quite helpful... Studying how other ppl deal with a subject can teach you a lot of stuff... But I was talking about a master piece, that is (to me) a piece that I make for personal reason, not to study, not to practice... just for fun, to express myself or to put down an idea or an image that's stuck in my head and begs to see the light of day... But then again, that messes up with my expectations which are higher than my current level, so it ends up making me feel upset in the end. Also now that I think about it... a master study actually could technically deal with a lot of fundamentals at the same time... cause in the end you're trying to apply reverse engineering to a piece that other artist has created. Said piece most likely will deal with quite a few fundamentals... unless the piece you're doing a master study on is a study from other artist that specifically focuses on one fundamental... Hope that made sense .___.
