I'm on Lesson 3, and in the part of the homework where it says that I must construct 8 pages of plants, does it mean that there will be 1 plant on each page (8 plants in total), or that I have to fill up each page with as many plants as I can reasonably fit on it (many more than 8 plants in total)?
I imagine whatever the answer is to this, it applies to the rest of the construction lessons as well.
1 or 2 plants per page is reasonable. You don't want to do them too small as you it won't test your line drawing as much and the detail will be fiddly.
So it's fine if I only deconstruct 8 plants?
The lesson asked for 8 plants, So yes.
However you might wanna fill only 1 plant (Or drawing) per page, Because this will allow you to draw bigger which will help with the clarity of the piece and allow your brain to work through the spatial puzzle being presented better.
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.
