But now seeing you explicitly say that you gotta fight drawing stuff the way you THINK it looks, rather than the way it looks gives me an impulse to try to give drawing a shot, and just try to get it better. | ||

But now seeing you explicitly say that you gotta fight drawing stuff the way you THINK it looks, rather than the way it looks gives me an impulse to try to give drawing a shot, and just try to get it better. Thats not what I meant AT ALL when I said "Thinks", the way you used it, it means a creative/imaginative unique expression of the artist. I never said to fight against that, just like I wouldn't tell Starcraft players to fight against using varied strategies tailored to counter their opponent. But what if you are teaching a new player who doesn't know how to make a unit move? and he thinks that selecting a unit and press "S" means to make it move and attack. In this case you would tell him to fight against what he thinks if his desired outcome is to make a unit move. If he doesn't have the necessary understanding to control his units, how can he use varied strategies and builds? As said in the OP, this is helpful for learning observational realism art for beginners. The point is to achieve certain fundamental understanding before one can get creative. No where did I say you should draw only what you see forever, but for a beginners this upside down process can help them understand the true nature of shape and form and how it comes together to make a realistic image. (thats why this is also a popular method used in art classes) All the best concept artists and designer artists understood this perfectly. How can you bring forth an image in your mind, or your unique view of something on paper, if you don't understand how to realistically construct something that is right in front of you. How can you tweak the form/shape/lighting of something if you don't know how it is constructed in the first place. | ||
