have you ever seen a drawing where the shading style was what you wanted to do, but didn't want to simply copy the artist? how do you comprimise with inspiration and just plagarism?

is this where construction comes into play?

is loomis actually a decent book to read for studying the basics?

all i've done is gesture sketch using quickposes, but my work is always messy/fast and lacks detail. i want to finally get into real drawing but i don't know where to begin and i'm worried that loomis may not be ideal. the notion of perspective and proportions isn't new to me but implementing them is in fact something i haven't done properly before due to laziness and ignorance; will loomis give me proper practice or at least get me to draw constructively?

i read the sticky but i don't know what level i am; i do reference work for the most part due to my experience with quickposes, but i haven't felt any real progress.
