I've been having a super hard time applying construction to drawing scenes from nature. Feels a lot like most of the time the shapes are pretty flat, and aisde from finding a horizon line and vanishing points, the techniques from DaB don't transfer much. Anyone with some experience in this has any tips or techniques to share?
I find the textures challenge helps a lot for this, as does a stronger sense of line weight.
Right from when students hit the 50% rule early on in Lesson 0, they ask the same question - "What am I supposed to draw?"
It's not magic. We're made to think that when someone just whips off interesting things to draw, that they're gifted in a way that we are not. The problem isn't that we don't have ideas - it's that the ideas we have are so vague, they feel like nothing at all. In this course, we're going to look at how we can explore, pursue, and develop those fuzzy notions into something more concrete.
