    People who whine about not wanting to use construction are exactly the people who need to use construction. You use construction so much that you are sick to death of it. You need to use it so much you know it inside out and sideways. You use it so much that you don't need to use it anymore. That is how to get to where you "don't need to use" construction lines.

    i love sketchbook pro. i use it for my sketching, but i also use it for putting finish on digital paintings because i find the blending tools are better than any other software i use (photoshop, rebelle7, fresco, etc). It emulates the best wet media (oils) that i can find. Smeary and wonderful.

    This technique is triggering what Gestalt Theory has explained about human perception of reality. How we sense the world and our brain gathers the pieces around while looking at something. You can check that out but check the physical theory one not the sociology interpretation of it. The original concrete theory about the visuals we perceive.
