Zizka's Sketchbook (Nudity and Vulgarity, NSFW)

[darktiste]

I would say you achieved what you wanted as it 3b but the problem i am trying to highlight even those you copied what is refer to as a 3d form you still did it in 2d it doensn't mean you understand the principle to rotate this object if you would have to draw it from an other view. If you want to progress you need to observe but also apply to your own personal work and i think it would be fair to say that you might not be doing enough of the second one as of now i believe you should strive to balance study and personal work.

I don't think your doing anything wrong consistently i am just doing prevention to avoid possible going in circle doing study that would not lead to a improvement of your work.

The issue is always to invite yourself in someone else brain it is hard for me to know what you know and don't so i should do less prevention and more of what is call intervention but i thought this one could save you alot of trouble if you understand what it imply to transfer knowledge from copying to application into personal piece.Those two type of drawing are key for people who look at your sketchbook to acess if you are progressing in being able to create your own work.

But at the end of the day it really about what you want to do with art do you want to make a living copying master or do you want to create your own world.Those require there own balance of fundamental and level of understanding of those fundamental of course the more the better but time is always the factor that generally decide what route and fundamental and what kind of study you will want to do.There is no set rule i think it important i make this clear everything i am saying is just a sneak peak into my own opinion and way of thinking.
