"Thank you for being this morning's farmer."

Y'know, honestly this is something I feel that needs to be brought up. It's a conversation i've had with a few of my friends on many occasions. I've see many artists practice this, pieces of faces. What my friends and I converse about when we see this is a question mainly. What is the usefulness of the time spent drawing things like this, in bits and pieces at such a high number. Is the time spent worth it? Especially for an artist that can better spend the time creating art that is not only solid sound imagery, but also... The time spent could possibly be drawing exercised that have more completion in turn having more dynamic understanding of the forms as a whole and also in functioning working order. An example would be drawing many faces rather than parts. One would understand how the cheek reacts when an eye is clenched, et al how the sides of the mouth react to that musculature reaction from the eye and cheek. Better yet, playing the neck into it, even better yet, practicing the entire bodies muscle and bone structure in different angles and poses to see how the 'whole' funtions.
Granted if you are putting together a 'how to - caricature' I can somewhat understand, but I'm just curious, if YOU actually learn a great deal from this or if it's more like (I say this with sarcasm so don't take offense) pissing in the wind? Please touch base with me on this.....

ps- I do like your work - the reason I watch you

Its to learn in baby steps really. in order to understand forms as a whole you've got to master the fundamentals and breakdown of things. Its like building things in general. for example i cant just build a car if given all the parts, i have to to be taught what the parts are and where they go, i also have to understand all cars are different so parts will be too. once i know what the parts are and where they go i can begin attempt to assemble them and start to figure out how those parts work in relation to each other like placement, function, movement, limitations. lol also im not at a level where i can just come up with stuff on a whim. drawing will be a never ending quest to better your skills so just draw like a madman.

Great topic though im sure there are many different answers out there about this, it would be great to hear them too.
Your awesome thanks for the brain rattler.
and your watch is greatly appreciated, comment and critique my stuff more often you get me thinking with topics like this lol

thanks you, just draw a page a day and see what difference it makes for you.

wow
