What is the intermediate journey?
I keep hearing about the importance of the fundamentals, which is great. I keep seeing book recs for the same dozen authors (Loomis, Gurney, Robertson, Dodson, Bridgman, Hampton, Han, Vilppu, etc.) which is cool too.
But what is the intermediate journey like? Even after going through books and videos I feel like I'm unable to copy photos without marking guidelines on the photos. I have no clue how to study the masters. Most importantly, how does one go from intermediate to expert?
Has any professional artist ever spoke in detail about their journeys -- how they studied the masters?
Pic related apparently only used the Famous Drawing School books and through practice was able to produce the quality of work he made, but how?
How was Kentaro Miura able to get his level by studying. Jack Kirby? Frank Frazetta? Moebius? Goya? Heinrich Kley? How did they practice?
