If you want to learn to freehand perspective should you learn how to do perspective on a grid first? Or is it better to just keep practicing freehand until your drawings look right?
What are the use cases for grid? It seems like its mainly for just do vehicle design and getting big scenes with multiple objects in looking right. But when I've seen things like a planar break down of the face. Manipulating that in 3 dimensions free hand seems almost impossible without drawing out the VPs etc. People like Proko and Loomis seem to be able to draw this complex geometric stuff in perspective without a explicitly drawing out the construction but did they learn with the construction or did they just practice from observing perspective until they could do it?
Grids seems really abstract and slow as opposed to learning how to just visualise it and I'm wondering if the investment of time of drawing straight lines with a ruler is really worth it...
