Why draftsmanship matters

 

If you want to have a career in art you must study the human form. Period.  You cannot render a superhero with out knowing how to draw the muscles under the tights.  How do you render a flowing 1930's gown with out knowing where the hip line is?  

Make all the excuses you want. if you don't put the time in to correctly understand anatomy, human, animal, fish. You will not achieve your vision.  All modern artist like Picasso studied, Abstract is a genue or style that you develop into or you choose after you develop a degree of draftsmanship.
