    Thank you so much! I mainly used Greg Rutkowski's free brush pack on his Gumroad, just imported to Clip Studio

    Thank you so much for your critique! Yeah I definitely need to work some on ghosting lines. I think my confidence has improved but I still tend to undershoot or go slightly off trajectory. I also want to improve on time efficiency though I know I shouldn’t rush too much that my work suffers. I took some pretty long breaks with this lesson but for the 250 box challenge I want to make some progress daily.

    Thanks again for the extensive feedback!

Sketching: The Basics

Sketching: The Basics

A lot of folks have heard about Scott Robertson's "How to Draw" - it's basically a classic at this point, and deservedly so. It's also a book that a lot of people struggle with, for the simple reason that they expect it to be a manual or a lesson plan explaining, well... how to draw. It's a reasonable assumption, but I've found that book to be more of a reference book - like an encyclopedia for perspective problems, more useful to people who already have a good basis in perspective.

Sketching: The Basics is a far better choice for beginners. It's more digestible, and while it introduces a lot of similar concepts, it does so in a manner more suited to those earlier in their studies.
