QUESTION for Lesson 2, Form Intersections Exercise: CAN I HAVE TOO MANY FORMS?

10:33 AM, Saturday August 20th 2022

I've finished the first page of Form Intersections from Lesson 2. I know Comfy said to fill the page up and fit as many forms as possible, but can you have too many forms? You can see page 1 here. I drew a lot of boxes and I'm wondering if I've got the density okay, or if I should lighten up for future pages; page 1 is pretty hectic and I haven't even attempted to add the intersections yet.

so from my experience of doing the excercise a few weeks ago and from the examples given on the website, i'd say, it's better to vary the sizes of the forms a bit and add around 8-10 (12 would be fine too) forms in a page. too many can be confusing and make things more difficult.

Okay, thanks for your feedback, Blue_Winters.

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.
