I was watching some how to draw videos on YouTube yesterday.

Everyone should do this, by the way, even if you feel very confident in your work; you can always learn new ideas from other people. I've learned pretty basic things that I just had not thought about before that have totally changed my perspective and the way I draw.

However, if you do watch these sorts of videos, that does not mean that everything you hear is 100% right. And I don't mean that they are necessarily wrong either.

As an example, I was watching one about perspective and the face. I think being sort of sarcastic and negative was apart of this guys shtick. However, he was talking about how one piece of art was bad because it was an almost side profile, but you could see the whole eye as if you were looking at it from a 3/4 sort of view.

Yes, the perspective was off, but that isnt necessarily a bad thing. As an example, check out Ancient Egyptian art. I wish I could remember the term right now, but they painted people in a side profile view and still showed the eye as if you were looking straight on. Basically, they would paint the human body so that features and body parts would be painted from their most recognizable angle. That's just something that really intrigues me about Ancient Egyptian art.

Now, back to the painting this guy was talking about - if the artist had indeed painted the subject with the proper perspective, yes it would look more realistic, but I really dont think the painting would have been as striking.

I know that like... its not good to use the excuse "thats just my style" when painting something and the anatomy is super off, as everyone should learn those things to help them improve. But the anatomy or anything doesnt have to be 100% perfect and accurate all the time to make good art.

Creating art isn't black and white. There's all the colors in between, too.
