Reductive drawing. Personally, not a fan, just as I am not a fan of wipe outs in starting a painting. Almost everyone else loves this method, though. I am one of the rare people who do not like it. I can easily follow along on toned paper with charcoal and maybe a little white added. I would prefer a wipe out to reductive drawing, if forced to chose. It is so hard to control, distances start to grow..... Even you, with your eagle eye, had to correct and adjust far more than you normally do. I have not drawn or painted for many years. You are an excellent teacher and I greatly value your lessons on the structure of form (and anatomy). I was taught the optical method. Your lessons will fill in that gap.

Eventually everything comes down to artists preference. The ceiling for a reductive block in drawing is similar to that of one started on white paper but he overall look will be different. Maybe you could say that a reductive approach is a bit more difficult to manage for a beginner but that is also down to reps in the style.

Hi Stephen! I have enjoyed all your boot camp videos and learned a lot from each and every one of them. Thank you for providing high quality content over and over again! Just like you said in the video I felt reductive drawing took me the furthest in the shortest amount of time, which was very rewarding. Now I am curious as to how you continue a reductive start. Do you continue from block in to final drawing in the same way as you would a drawing on white paper in terms of slowing down and carefully building tone and would you say you are able to reach the same level of completion in the final drawing? Are there any technical/quality draw backs from working reductively or is it purely preference that makes artist prefer different methods of drawings?
