Learning how to draw and paint is all about using whatever tools or techniques that make YOU feel most comfortable and inspires you to keep going.
The simple fact is that to learn how to draw and paint good perspective, youneed a straight edge or ruler at the outset to draw some guidelines on your paper.
In my experience, this helps most students better understand how perspective works, much quicker. As for using photos... Do you think the great masters of two and three centuries ago would have turned their nose up at any aid that would help them as professionals?
No chance!
If Monet had been able to take photos of the areas in France on which most of his great works are based,I'm sure he would have done so.
