This is not true. It is a very common technique for people who are learning to draw, and recommended in most decent books about drawing. It helps you to understand how the other person worked, how their arm moved, what the pressure was like, how it feels to make a line in a certain way that you might not do by yourself. Try it sometime. -- Cheers, Bob > -----Original Message----- > From: Pål Jensen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 16 December 2005 14:20 > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: AA bis > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "William Robb" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > > I was going to tell you that you are full of shit, but I > think it is > > enough to say that I think you are quite wrong. > > > What the hell is creative in standing in another person tripod holes? > You seem to miss the point.
