Drawing seems to have a layering effect. As we go deeper and deeper we tend to make the drawing more and more accurate. This layering effect is also there in writing prose. We decide how much deep we ought to go with this layering. For example, you see geometrical figures whenever you draw and gradually you make some more geometrical figures in each of the figures created earlier and you continue ad infinitum.
Many drawing instructions fail to teach us this. They give huge prose on how to draw but don’t explain succinctly how to draw these figures. They put the burden on practice and practice alone.
With few drawings and really good ones they can put you in the right pedestal on learning how to draw. You must create a one to one relation between drawings that you are seeing and the drawing you are about to draw. What is meant by this is if you are trying to draw landscapes learn it from other landscapes, when you are trying to draw still figures then learn from other still figures. Half done drawings can reveal more than full drawings. Full drawings seem to erase off the elementary part of drawings. But one can certainly learn from full drawings, there is no no to it.
