is construction even necessary? it seems like its just pointless steps, much like showing your work in math.

depends on the outcome you want.

properly constructing a drawing gives you more control over details and it generally looks very appealing to see solid forms in a drawing.

some artists though use a contour drawing approach. it looks flat but some artists can pull it off really well, like moebius. but it also has to do with moebius having strong observation skills and good control over his linework. he could very easily construct drawings if he wants to (and has, look up blueberry)

they're just two approaches to the same result.

your drawing sucks, not because of contour drawing or chicken scratching, but because you lack artistic skill and a thought process to your work.

it's why learning art fundamentals and setting a foundation is important.

no it doesnt and i wasnt asking about my drawing so i dont know why you gave unwanted critique - perhaps you should learn your place?

anyway, yes i agree that contour drawing is the more skill based approach to drawing. can you achieve the same results with construction? sure but its cheating imo and honestly a waste of time for artists who know better.

anyway, please post your drawings so i may critique them its only fair.

Just because an artist doesnt put construction lines down on the paper doesnt mean he doesnt see them in his mind. After drawing things for so long you can "see" them without having to actually physically draw them on the paper. It's a type of spacial intelligence that most artists develop over time.

I dont need to draw lines to show me where the eyes, nose, and mouth on a face go. I dont need to draw lines for a vanishing point either. Doesn't mean that I just draw at random though

honestly if you practice drawing without construction lines, with good practice you can do it. if you practice all the time with construction lines itll obviously be harder to do a drawing without them.

It comes down to how you practice. :/

Just do what comes naturally to you, seriously. If doing construction makes you hate drawing, you don't have to do it. Everyone draws differently.

>be former construction line fiend
My most successful drawings/most proportionate drawings were ones that I just scribbled out without much thought or construction. When I used to do elaborate construction, everything was stiff. Correct but stiff.

Kim Jung Gi just visualizes his construction in his head. He always talks about how learning to draw boxes is the most important thing and that any object can fit into a box.
