Lesson 1: Lines, Ellipses and Boxes
10:58 PM, Monday December 7th 2020
Hello!
I'm a total novice with art. I never drew before and I wanted to be a self taught. Then I realised if someone pulls a gun on my head I can't connect 8 dots to make a box. So I started googling about how to draw and found a reddit site called r/artfundamentals. And started lesson 0 and here I am.
Homework progress:
I think I understand the concept of perspective but it's hard to use.
I need help with boxes. ( I did watch the both box tutorials) In the past few days I drew so many boxes I started to see dreams about them. Little by little my mind shifted from 2D to 3D. Now when I look at an object like a shelf I can almost see through it.
I struggled a lot with 2 assignments Page of rotated boxes and 2 Pages of rough perspective.
Organic perspective was hard but I think it was more frustrating because I had a hard time drawing boxes. So I started to become lazy and do lines without The Ghosting method.
I finished lesson 1 in a week. And it's crazy how much I have improved already. Right now I think I find more joy in improving than drawing. So I am only following lessons at the moment instead of drawing anything else because it looks like ass. I think the 50% rule applies here.
