Not op. Again >>5157679. Grids are good for like, drawing very swirly things, and some bigger grids, like 2x2, or 4x4 could help you by giving smaller frames for ref, but too small grinds, and you are going to learn nothing. And yes, frames are a good measuring tool, you can create negative spaces with them, and assure yourself you dont fuck up too much. Frames are basically the bigger grid you can have, and you use a frame the same way you would use a grid.

At the end of the day, the more measurings you do, the better your drawing is going to end. The more you draw using measurings, the more you will be able to skip some, do some quicker, or learn them inside out. All of those are examples of measuring techniques, and you should try as many, and stick with that you like.

there is no framing and composition per see, since they are just drawings floating on page, but the technique of measuring angles, lengths, and proportions to reach those final drawings, are all used in composition and framing, as I saw in OP pic. I jump in this discussion, defending OP and saying those are legitimate ways of learning to draw, because I use angles lengths, and proportions to analyze the subject. My focus is not on the composition itself, true.

Here, another drawing from ref, where I used the framing of the picture to create limitations and position landmarks on the page correctly, then I just connected those and add in the rest of details by eye balling. Its kind of the extreme method, but its good to try atleast once, to get you thru the process to think like this.

I got into archi uni this year. We are doing all classes online, and for atelier we are doing 2 days per week, were teachers look at the drawings we did from last time and discuss on them. Since the start of the school year, 2 times per week, my drawings get shit on constantly.

Each time I say, its ok, I learned something, I will try again. But its never ok. This friday, when I believe for the first time that I did something good finally, I got shat on the most. We have a lot of homework, and I am behind, since I have to redo everything each time, and yet since the last friday after classes, I could not draw anything. I just stood in bed, slept, browsed 4chan, and cried.

I got in uni in top 10 with my portfolio, and yet my colleagues are handling this shit better. At the last project, on which we worked on for a month, from a class of 31, I was the single one who could not finish my project, and dragged my team down. And now I am afraid I will do the same with the current project on which I should be working, and yet I got burned out, for the first time in over a calendar year.
