    Are you sure?

    Yes, yes indeed.

    I began adhering to the 50% rule for this lesson by designating time within the day to sit and just draw for fun. All in all by keeping record on how much time I spent drawing for the course to later be compensated.

    This has been the only course I've been following as for lately but now I'm planning on following something else along with, perhaps composition or diving more into perspective.

    But overall, yeah.

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.
