Recently I had heated conversation/argument with my dad about drawing fantasy aircrafts and creatures. He said knowing basics about what you're drawing/designing only gives you limits. I said knowing basics gives you more perspective when you know how things work.

I still stand behind what I said; I wouldn't for example start to design aircrafts or weapons without knowing even a little how they work. Just a little, not everything.
Maybe it creates limits but personally I like it because even fantasy can be somewhat realistic. Does it make drawing boring? Or does give it more  depth? Does drawing even need depth? I can't know.

Maybe it would be good for me to stop asking 'why' all the time when I draw; Why this dude is there? Why he's wearing a coat? Is there cold? Or is he hiding? Why is he looking over his shoulder? Is someone following him? How did he even get there?
You know, things like that. I can't be only one who does that?

And purpose of this journal entry?
There is none. I just wanted to wonder aloud why I think about every drawing so much. And why I spent hours browsing through Internet just to find out what kind of accessories the archers wear or what disease killed most the people in the old ages...
