Should I follow a specific drawing way?

Question

I usually enjoy doing things my own way, as it feels more natural. I recently started to take watercolor lessons(this was probably a mistake) and my teacher said my way of sketching was wrong.For example, when I start to draw a face, I usually start from the hair, then I sketch the cheeks and the chin. Finally I place down eyes, nose, etc. I use very few searching lines.My teacher says that the absolute correct way it to draw a circle, and place the face with a lot of searching lines.My question is: Is there an absolute drawing style I should follow? Is my style outright wrong? I can get the positions of the thing I am trying to draw perfectly with my style. Should I still change it?

Answer 1

There is no right or wrong way to sketch, but if your final results are disproportionate, perhaps learning a new way of sketching would be beneficial to you. It never hurts to learn various methods and then decide which one works best for you.
