If I could afford ctrl+paint I wouldn't be doing these exercises digitally, haha.

I scrounged up a single piece of sketchbook paper & an office ballpoint ink pen made out of recycled cardboard that I got a few years ago at a fare. Hopefully they'll be enough to show that I've learnt this lesson even if I did it digitally. Just as a heads up, the only table with enough space to work on is made out of chipped wood, so a few lines are a bit wonkey.

Anyways, here are the exercises you requested to see done traditionally. I think it's fairly easy to see that they're more or less the same as the digitally done ones.

If you look closely on the ghosted planes, there's a little arrow pointing to a double line. My cheap ink pen stopped inking like 1/5th through the line so I had to do a pass over. But I believe it's the only time the pen died on me, so it's the only line that I had to pass over.

Hopefully this digital / traditional comparison will help you in the future when it comes to critiquing people who are using digital!

Edit, Oh and sorry for bad quality on the images. I'm not exactly a photographer, so my phone's camera leaves a lot to be desired.

Oh wow! Thanks for putting in the effort in to do these extra exercises!! Yeah they look good! Only thing I'd point out is that in some of your ghosted plains I can't see some of the dots at the corners. I'm fairly certain though that you put them there, it maybe just that they're too small to see + the resolution of the image. Just in case though that you didn't, always remember to plot out your lines (placing a start and end point dot).

Anyway yeah, I really enjoyed this exchange. I learned a bunch! Like I didn't know Ctrl+Paint's free library wasn't very in-depth *sweats in embarrassment***. I wish you luck!!!! Move on to the 250 box challenge if you haven't already and don't forget to do your daily warm-ups!!

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.
