Notes from the studio · Working practitioners on the tool
Illustrative composites of how the tool gets used in practice — not quotes from named individuals.
Sphere first, every commission. Ten minutes on the construction overlay saves a day of repainting.
Loomis, Reilly, Asaro — three construction methods, one tool. Students see all three on the same reference.
Even on rough thumbnails. The sphere + plane is fast to block in and tells me whether the angle reads three-quarter or near-profile.
