>>7603012>He does not teach what beginners need to know, namely, how to accurately observe shapes and values, and he dives right into complicated construction and gesture, which are really more advanced skills that can only exist upon a foundation of solid observational drawing.that's not a huston thing, that's just the modern art education industry evolving from the american commercial art industry reimagining art instruction in an attempt to pump fresh blood into a market with too much demand and not enough supply in order to prevent the supply from going to photography, which happened anyway because the plan didn't work and they failed to produce the artists they needed
even /ic/ parrots this and it's why so much of the board is stagnant, everyone tells you to jump into figuring out pseudo-3d on a 2d plane instead of learning to actually make pictures
huston's actually among the better ones, for what that's worth, his approach to gesture is fairly observational and straightforward
