problem with many starting artists, that while it is fine to pursue a
certain style of drawing, anime, cartoony, whatever, it should not be
viewed as a shortcut through the fundamentals. To study the
fundamentals is not a call to realism, it is to augment your
understanding of art. To give you a solid foundation upon which you can
build upon and, instead of a style like anime, to be the foundation of
your craft. Art is an imitation of life. Anatomy, perspective,
composition, values, color, all things that if an artist has a thorough
understanding of, can only serve to help the artist to gain a "gradual
and fundamental improvement of all of one's work." so they can
successfully transcribe their work into reality. |
