I'm sorry for doubting you
the best art teacher i ever had was my middle school art teacher, and oddly enough the best thing i ever drew was in his class. I got an A+ on it, probably the only A+ i ever got in school lol
My middle school art teacher was similar like that.
the major point he tried to make was to not think about what you were drawing, and to actually not even look at the paper, but to just draw as slowly as possible and rely on negative space. he would actually have us turn things upside down to draw them
This one here is my masterpiece
negative space is one of a number of ways to maintain accuracy when drawing from life/reference
It's a very powerful tool
But you need to understand that it's just one tool
of course
You use it in conjunction with many others
Like plumb lines and triangulation
But I agree with your teacher, negative space is awesome
from my experience it's usually the most helpful
But I'm not sure about not looking at the paper, I've read about it in Betty Edwards' book and did the exercise
It's a unique experience but I can't really tell if it was that beneficial
I guess it's a way to stimulate areas of the brain that you want to develop for improving your technical skills
But I'm not that informed on the science behind it
yeah, he would often say that one part of your brain see's a nose for example, so it tries to draw a "nose" from memory instead of drawing what is in front of you, that is why he taught us the way he did
it is really a technique for drawing what you see, not so much for creative drawing
yes, he is right that our brain is prone to symbolism
Will she just die
It's probably the biggest struggle for an artist
Drawing what you see and not what your mind thinks you see
It isn't easy projecting 3d information onto a 2d plane
Our brain wasn't built for it
Artists didn't even know how to utilize rules of perspective until I believe the early 15th century
Which is why until then paintings looked flat and crappy

If half of the stuff about her health is true, she don't have much time
yeah. perspective stuff is what got me back into drawing recently, i've been drawing a lot of buildings and towns, architecture, that sort of thing
cool
