This was a genuinely disappointing episode. I rather enjoyed the first three for their own merits, but this one absolutely didn't answer the question "what are the fundamentals" like real masters normally would have. Also that chart is absolutely retarded beyond belief.
They just regurgitated the "yeah take these books everyone recommends, they're fundies haha!" and then proceeded to vaguely brush the topic of drawing from imagination.
On one hand you had Proko becoming touchy on this subject, losing patience and throwing half-assed knowledge "y-yeah do gesture first a-and then do this!", which was nothing but a projection of his insecurities due to the state he is at in his own journey;
and on the other hand, Vandruff who talked about it in a rather academic way "oh yeah imagining things in 3D and doing it! Interesting! Oh yeah the Kim guy? Impressive!.". If you recall from past episodes he talked about how he and other teachers at some point came up with this "drawing from imagination" thing, and he recalled this with wonder to this day because it's something he was never taught to, and never truly did either.
Watts did the same thing at the Atelier : beta-testing a class with his students where they first copied something and then tried to redraw it from imagination right after (not gonna go too much in depth about it). Why do you think he did so? An attempt at teaching? Of course not, it was just an experiment for himself, an experiment to solve a personal issue born from his hyper-obsessive wiring.
And this is why these people are now "teachers", and you could do the same analysis with most "teachers".
Why do I know this? Because I'm a teacher and I literally do the same thing on a daily basis.
You can decide for yourself that "yeah, they're talking about real drawing!", or you can think for yourself and realize that real drawing is elsewhere.
I won't give you more hints, here's your artpill, you'll have to find out the rest for yourself.
