I would recomend using the grid method only after the artist have mastered freehand beacuse the grid method will hamper your versatility and growth as an artist, is like cornering yourself as an artist. only after mastering the freehand method is better to use the grid becuase as a professional artist speed to finish the piece means conservation of energy and faster production with less burnout. The better an artist is when conceptualizing a piece the better the piece will be and the more of the artist will shine through the piece. If the artist is fully mechanical like in the case of the hyperrealist in where the artist is copying from a referencence, then the artist dont exist no more and have become a human photocopy machine but less afficient than a the machine itself, there is no creative endeavor or personal twist, that means that the craftsman (not an artist) is competing with a machine in the same arena because both use pigments. also the grid method helps to take away the energy already lacking in the very static hyperrealisting work. as a matter of fact only use the grid when strictly needed like in the case of art commissions that are 1 to 1 replications of the reference but no more. with the grid method and hyperrealism all of your pieces will like yust like the previous and the next one but worst of all, your art will just like the other artists that do the same, thats how artists tend to disappear.
