I literally can't believe I did that hahaha. The 50% rule deserves almost all the credit for I being able to do this.

So, doing this challenge was really difficult for me, especially on the first pages, where I tried as hard as possible to draw with my shoulder, but I think the lines I made aren't satisfactory (the lines I made with the ruler kind of disguise it , but I think it's something that should be taken into account).

Also, in the first boxes, I was really confused by the construction of the boxes and the vanishing points, which is why there are so many boxes that I couldn't finish and also mistakes in the extension lines.

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.

Remember that when you agree with something another user has written, you are putting your own reputation behind it.

Consider the following:

  • If it's homework feedback, does it address each section of the lesson/challenge, or only briefly touch upon one or two exercises?
  • Does it provide clearly defined next steps for the student to follow?
  • Have you read through it thoroughly, or are you simply agreeing so the student earns a superficial badge?
  • Replies you agree with will be visible in your sketchbook

Agreeing blindly just to be nice is a good way to get your permissions associated with this function revoked, so make sure that you genuinely feel that the response is beneficial to the student.
