I have some traditional media questions.
Can someone give me the "quick rundown" of Glazing?
If I were to paint a watercolor/gouache/watered-down acrylic painting in black and white...could I go back over the values in a Local Color and it'll look "decent"? or will it just look like shit?

He's not wrong. And don't follow that book anon. Read Loomis, read Hampton, then Huston, then Robertson, then Bridgman, then Bargue.

I'm going to be honest with you. You can get so good just by drawing from life. Don't skimp out on the details, and be honest with your work. When you draw from life, you can constantly compare your drawing to actual reality and ask the question, "Does my drawing look exactly like what I'm looking at?" If not, then fix it. If so, then continue to make greatness.

It's worth understanding perspective, so check out "Perspective Made Easy" or "Perspective Drawing Handbook" (I prefer the latter, short and sweet.)

Learn about the sight-size method as it's super fucking easy as shit to make realistic drawings that are accurate as fuck. It just takes time and patience. From there, construction can be learned as you get more confident, and then begin drawing from imagination.

If anything, just utilize pic related and you'll be drawing in literal no time. Sorry for the shit drawings though, I was using paint and a vertical mouse to draw.

ANYWAY, also understand that everything you draw will be shit, and you will always hate your work, but that's the nature of the beast. You will improve if you have the drive, just keep drawing.
