    Thank you for the positive feedback! I for sure took my time with each of these, it's good to see it pays off :)

    Thank you for the critique! I will keep these points in mind, I have noticed myself slacking on consistently ghosting all lines.

    Hi Dio!

    Thank you for the detailed critique. I've drawn four more constructions and done my best do follow the feedback.

    Two more questions came up to me:

    • Regarding the "don't alter the silhouette" rule: what about a case where I draw a mass for the neck, and then I want to add some extra furry mass all around it, like a sleeve? I'm thinking of e.g. the neck of an alpaca. Is the answer just to draw the neck with the desired "radius" from the beginning, so it's all contained within the first mass I draw?

    • Regarding the lines where sausages connect: should I draw them even if they fall on a surface that's not visible? For example the inside of the "elbow", if it's hidden from view. In my page 2 I did not draw such lines where they're hidden.

    Thank you for the detailed feedback, this clarifies many concepts I was struggling with!

    Thank you for the feedback! I have two questions, sorry for not including them earlier:

    1. When applying line weight, should I draw from the shoulder as well? I've tried this, but my lack of accuracy for curved lines usually leads to very bad results.

    2. When drawing hair, I struggle to see how I can draw all the shadows and the way they fall above and under hundreds of overlapping strands, so I resort to no drawing hair at all, or I just draw the hairs themselves. Any advice?

How to Draw by Scott Robertson

When it comes to technical drawing, there's no one better than Scott Robertson. I regularly use this book as a reference when eyeballing my perspective just won't cut it anymore. Need to figure out exactly how to rotate an object in 3D space? How to project a shape in perspective? Look no further.
