One thing I’m curious about is whether this post was more successful at conveying the ideas than this comment (not a comment by me). This post definitely goes into much more detail, but I’d have expected Nornagest’s comment to get across the basic idea.
I’m curious (pedagogically) if what happened here was more like ‘Nornagest’s comment didn’t sufficiently get across the concept’ (because it turned out exploring all the aspects of the idea was important to really grok the concept), or if the comment did get across the basic idea, but this post just fleshed it out more.
Hard to say: I didn’t remember Nornagest’s comment before looking up your post in order to reference it here. If it was enough to get the basic concept across, at least it didn’t do it in a way that would have stuck in my memory. (Given that reading this post made me think “ahh, that’s what Raemon was trying to say.)
If I had to guess afterwards, though, I would note that Nornagest only talks about the superficial style of drawing leading to drawings that end up with a “flat, disconnected look”. I doubt I would have been able to make the inference that this also implies “and you will be bad at drawing characters from any other angle than the one you are used to”.
