Is close enough good enough? I don’t know, drawing too tightly will leave no space for the painting to speak right?
I advised someone to get his proportion straight if he wants to paint properly but seeing him paint without a care of accurate results made me think, am I lingering too much in the drawing stage?
The painting itself should be capable of expressing everything and sustain itself just like good lineart can be art even without any kind of shading or color. The painting speaks for itself.
Well what if the painting spills a lot of bullshit? The drawing should anchor it right?
However if you work up the drawing too much you have little to no space left to actually develop the piece in painting, or is it?
I don’t bother too much with the drawing but many painting mistakes are also drawing ones, especially when it comes to edges.
What I mean is defining everything early on within the drawing stage may stifle you own efforts, the scaffolding is too good, you rely on it too much rather than facing values, hues and saturation head on.
Should drawing be a crutch or is it the launching stage to developing paintings?
I guess the answer depends on when you put your pen down and go for a walk
