Wow , Crimson Cadavers has been kicking to full gear the last time i was here. i really liked the back and forth discussion thats going on and im learning alot from all the peeps whos posting here. i really do.
Just to add to the Drawing methods topic, i do find the advantages of both, Comparative and sight size.
doing them back and forth , wich is what im trying to do now, can tell how much you need to work on one method to the other.
for example, i have worked on Comparative method for quite some time now, for me it felt very natural , although i think i haven't been able to master it yet. its really useful in a pinch, but could take extra effort on being accurate because you need to convert the measurement of what you see to what you have "commited to " in the beginning
now when i get to Sight size , it feels very foreign , though it might seem that the two methods would complement each other, im still picking up , or "SEEING" things with my eyes that i wasn't able to see with comparative.
so yeah what im trying to say here , if you want to be a master in drawing , practice a great deal with the two. its going to be hard, especially when youre alone.
ok pretty much said what i wanted to say, but theres this awesome book called anatomy for sculptors. more info in here https://www.anatomy4sculptors.com/anatomy.php
the site has chock full of resources as well.
gonna do some ecorche later on. im just doing some bargue studies right now to improve my lines.
like what @tristan said, im doing them digitally , so its kinda hard to draw my lines. but what the heck im training my eye.
