If you study like classical style theres emphasis on understanding everything even down to how its made just so you can get like...a sense of the medium and stuff. Thats why its part of classic training. Also, your canvas will loosen over time so if you build them you can fix it. https://twitter.com/colIardgreen/status/1309149468445605889

Its like...control of the medium comes from understanding how to make the tools.

This isntrue for digital art too as well. Understanding how programmers think and how brushes are programmed and what makes a "digital brush stroke" will help you understand how to use them.

Lime if you understand how something is MADE you will understand WHY it LOOKS a certain way. AND how to maintain it and customize it to your liking. Thats why.

This is true for everything. Like comics look that way for a reason. Paintings look that way for a reason. Etc etc.

Theres 800 typos but I dont care.

My favorite typo is lime.
