>The difference is that he used grids as a tool to help with the exact proportions while also having an understanding of perspective, anatomy, colour theory, etc, etc.
lol.
>You use grids as a crutch because you don't understand anything and can't do it any other way.
Again, I'm actually pretty good at hand drawing. Went to art school one day a week from the ages of like 7-18. I've spent semesters doing figure drawing from life and everything else. >>3544973

were hand drawn. pic related is hand drawn.

I chose to start by largely focusing on graphite transfers, and now grids, for a bunch of reasons that kind of have nothing to do with needing a "crutch." In fact for a lot of them doing graphite transfers and grids was more of a hassle. But rules is rules.

Like before I started this series I had never tried a graphite transfer to canvas. You can learn a lot through tracing. Plus it's meditative and relaxing. And honestly grid technique is so satisfying to me now. It's a good way to keep your technical "left brain" focused and activated and junk.

>That's why even with grids your paintings look like absolute crap.
Sorry you feel that way lol.

>aww poor baby cant take a crit
aww poor baby cant take a crit. I'm not even disagreeing with your "crit" dipshit, you just seem kind of self-important for someone that struggles bigly with wordsmaking.
>theyre all tinted
not sure what you really mean by this or why it's a problem or how it's supposed to be meaningfully applied to my process going forward. That's your first thing and it's frustrating and kind of meaningless to me.

Why should you just expect to be taken seriously? I don't really care about what you watch on youtube. Post your work nerd. It's easy to watch videos for kids and think you're special, but I'm kind of only interested in people that actually do things.
> i can still see fucking white spots because the paint is so thin.
oh is that wrong?! next you're going to tell me I'm NOT supposed to use a weird amount of water and mix varnish into acrylic or something!
> the way you paint skin is dead looking
yeah I generally do blues and purples first and save the life tones for last.
> and their shitty fucking meme portraits.
don't see a problem there sport. You're very self-important and edgy and you put this "master craft" up on a pedestal and then you probably just don't do anything at all.
>not to mention you fucking go over areas with just pure black paint, its like you dont even know what youre using.
yeah it is like that. That was the whole recurring motif for the first year. It was a lesson I learned on the first painting and kept using as a way to sabotage things that were annoying me. year 2 is about literally never using black paint. It's a 1000 painting series. If you start retarded people are more impressed when you're moderately competent at the end.
>go learn from the fucking modern masters
the masters of youtube? are you 13?
> that will teach you how to use the types of paints with different qualities so you can mix better off and on canvas and not paint like a highschool student.
I asked you tho.
