Really it just depends what you're trying to do. If you're doing a fucking realistic life painting then yeah you're not going stylize. If you're trying to draw anime girls you're only going to draw the parts you want, not exactly what you see. "Don't shade with black" is something I hear a lot, but if you're aiming for Mike Mignola esque ink drawings then yeah you're going to being shading almost entirely with black.

Art advice isn't like some universal rule that should be applied to every piece you do. It's more like just theories and ideas that you can use when it suits your desires. I like to think of it like tools in my cabinet I can pull out whenever I want. Some of those tools are more versatile than others like doing construction, but I don't have to use it for every job if I don't need it
