Justin, thank you for your response and for sharing your thoughts. Please do not allow your emotions to think for you. Allow me to explain.
As one absorbs the information on this forum, one finds much discussion on the topic "working from life". One cannot avoid this topic it is practically present in every post. At the same time there is much advice in the proper use of reference material whether sketches or photographs. Again one cannot miss the fact that Many of the artists on this forum have spent much time and cash to learn this trade. These same artists respectfully have gladly volunteered all even their time, free of charge, in order to assist individuals as they strive to reach their artistic goals.
Please do not think my words to be a rant rather a big bell to let you know that we are all friends here.
Justin, if you posted in the unveiling's most all would have given you praise. Most likely no one wold have commented on you method being that your method is your prerogative. At the same time, the members of this forum are a bunch of nice respectful people and at times they are just to nice.
There is SO much input here that anyone wishing to learn can do just that.
Think about it and remember, we are here to help each other. If I have stepped out of line it is not because I do not care. I spoke up because I do care.
Also, if anyone even thinks that this place is to pick on someone or even belittle someones method then they are wrong. I would be wrong if I was to think along those lines. I hope you understand and if I have hurt you in any way I am sorry. It is up to you now.
I truly wish you to acheave confidence as you develop your artistic abilities.
