Because it's teaching how to stop symbol drawing. draw a box and thinking in 3-d is the next step after that. Breaking out of symbol drawing is a must for anyone who wants to learn to draw, so is thinking in 3d but you can't think in 3d very well if you still symbol draw.

>Do you just blindly trust /ic/'s expertise and anonymous honesty, or do you just judge everything by yourself because you know you're a genius?

Most people who have any chance of being decent in the future have a much better eye than a hand. Should be able to walk away for 2 minutes, look at their work, and immediately be able to levy at least 10 criticisms against it.

If you can't then you need to study some actual artists first and then come back to see what's wrong.

So drawabox is the "dlc"of drawing books? You read that on the side while your main focus will be on keys to drawing.

Neither way of thinking is wrong nor will it handicap you in the future, unless you consider knowing a lot of ways to draw a handicap. Anything that raises your understanding of art and drawing is good. However, Keys to Drawing is just a stepping stone for drawing and if you want to draw from imagination you will grow out of the methods. But even somebody like Iain McCaig likes blindcontour. Even stepping stones require your best effort.

With that said, put your best effort into understanding and practicing whatever you are working on or with, ask yourself why you are told to do certain things, and try to see the strengths and weaknesses of the approach you are being taught. Don't decide how much effort to put in based on how long you will utilize the technique. And don't work with books where you can tell the drawings suck, lol hogarth.

(cont). In other words, you don't need to do them side-by-side. Keys to Drawing isn't a book that is focused on 3-d thinking. So if you are trying to think in 3d and work the way it is telling you to in keys to drawing, you will just overload yourself.
