>Like do you disqualify painters like Van Gogh and Rembrandt for using grids?
seriously, if i read you excusing your autistic use of copying photos with grids and comparing it to the use of van gogh one more time, i will shit down the internets.

yes, van gogh used grids. but you know how he used them? he made a frame with strings to look through into the landscape. he was drawing outside, right in front of what he had chosen to draw. he stylized and abstracted elements in the landscape in a way that he saw fit to make a point or find the essence of a given motif.
you sit at home and you print stupid celebrity photos, completely stagnating and redundant, that you try hard (and fail) to copy and color in like a toddler. can you see the difference?
you are not "racing van gogh", you are ridiculing him with every time you mention his name.
