Studied everyday but it was a struggle. I’ve mentioned wanting to tackle perspective after anatomy. Well, I figure if I’m so afraid of it, fuck it, started on Friday. Tackled Scott Robertson’s How To Draw. The same book and topic that pretty much made me stop drawing for three months lol. I can report that I fared much better this time. Made it 4 chapters into his book by Saturday, either I’m dumb(probably) or this book really glosses over perspective basics and is structured very strangely. He’ll instruct you to construct something on page 31, that he doesn’t explain how to contruct until 50 pages later.
Anyways, wasn’t fucking with the book at all, so I went to a often recommended perspective book, Perspective Made Easy. Faaaaaaar more digestible, Robertson comes off as a robot in comparison. I don’t know if I’ll do perspective studies for weekends or mix them in throughout the week. We’ll see by next week I guess.
Anatomy Studies, turns out like all other anatomy, legs and necks are tough as fuck:
not a great day
Scott Robertson stuff
the whole mirroring rotated tilted plane stuff in the book is frustrating. you have to watch a video to realize he doesn’t teach you how to construct the tiled, rotated plane so you end up feeling that what you’re doing doesn’t look right, without knowing what’s fucked up about it.
Perspective Made Easy stuff:
Watch me fail
