![]() ![]() I totally agree, but before making art, you must already learn the basic rules. I classified them by families because some are almost identical.Īrgument 1 – Making art does not mean making an exact copy.Īrgument 2 – Prevents free artistic interpretation using exaggeration and blocks freedom of expression. These arguments come from the italian site circolodarti very well done elsewhere. So let's go back to the so-called grid faults. Making a tight grid and reproducing point by point as we too often see in tutorials is an absolute error. It is only on this condition that it is possible to refute the following arguments. This is the absolute rule in using a drawing grid. Of course, you will notice that the grid I chose is quite wide. Without it, I would have quickly given up. Well, it is not a masterpiece, but I did it, and it’s thanks to the grid. ![]() He stayed raw, in its own right like a nice victory. It is dirty and not finished, but I never dared to finish it and go back to ink. I worked on this drawing for seven hours. I admit that I set the challenge a little bit high for a start. ![]() I am not an expert, but my brain was telling me that something was wrong.įor my first try, I chose a favorite photo of Florence. Despite some basic knowledge in perspective.Įverything went awry. However, when I started drawing, my first sketches were just awful. The use of grids avoids getting discouraged. While my technical training granted me some notions of perspective. When I showed my first slightly elaborate drawings, I was told immediately : you are good at drawing. We understand very well that it takes hours of learning to play a Mozart sonata, but we imagine that drawing well, is just a matter of talent. The main reason, is that we attribute to the drawing the notion of talent. What makes many people get discouraged very quickly and give up. The beginner does not have the experience and does not have the immediate capacity to correctly respect these rules of perspective, anatomy, shadows etc. The notion of talent is a trap for the beginner. It is for this reason that we are able to perceive our own errors intuitively and that we can give up by thinking that we are not good at drawing. Simply because our brain is used to perceiving an environment managed by natural rules and it expects to find these same rules in a drawing or a painting. I already wrote it in another article : we are not all artists, but we are all able to perceive a missed perspective or an abused face. This is why I will do it with a certain humility. So I will try to answer this article, whose author has more 50 years of profession and more than 10 years of teaching drawing ( An opinion based on fifty years of work and more than ten years of teaching may have some value). It’s on a italian website that I found the most complete list of arguments against the grids.įor my part, i think like all things, escesses one way or the other is always dangerous. So, I tried to understand the arguments of the anti-grids. This technique has been used by famous artists like van Gogh, it has been defended and advised by others as an essential tool for beginners. Since I started working on the programming of NetGrid to create drawing grids, I did a lot of research on the subject. ![]()
