'>>7136176
He's technically skilled but I would avoid him as an art instructor. You will end up like pawell, faster than pawell.vtmprr';
'>>7136192
in what way and why?';
'>>7136176
he's great. his very dynamic figures with exaggerated muscles work well for the style he was going for in his finished works. toning it down requires critical thought, so a lot of people get filtered by his books.';
'>>7136176
It's very easy to use his books. Just copy them and then tone it down for your "finished" art. The super high contrast muscle bubbles help build up an intuition on the shapes of the body';
'>>7136469
Hogarth is unironically good for 3D sculpting for this reason';
'>>7136176
his art is ugly';
'Based on what?';
'>>7136176
Hogarth only gets a bad rap from dumbasses that think the only way to learn from books is to just copy the pictures and not read any of the text. If you actually read his books, they're incredibly helpful.';
'Based';
'>>7137108
I have read the text, and it's even less helpful than the drawings. You must be a retard who gets wowed by "big words"';

Way to out yourself retard.';
'>>7136176
based, bigly';
'I like his breaking down of the directional tendencies of each muscle and limb more than most figure drawing schools' nebulous and inscrutable "gesture"';
'>>7136469
Exactly. His weird hyperbolic style is really instructive.';
'>>7136176
From EVERY SINGLE BOOK, VIDEO or whatever material, he is THE ONLY one that actually explains how to rotate a fucking head with crystal clear instructions that you can actually replicate every single time to get a perfect head, not loomis ''perfect'', not vilppu "feel the form perfect", actually perfect measured head. Just for that he is based.';
'>>7136176
Hogarth is based because he filters retards while also being an incredibly valuable resource for anyone with even a bit of drawing experience';
'>>7138280
how did he get away with it?';
