It's a short book, you can read and make exercises in a weak or two.

If you feel you need the basics, that's the one.

If you want to go hard, How to Draw by Robertson, and Framed Perspective vol. 1 and 2, by Mateu-Mestre.

I,ve wanted to buy the how to draw book by Robertson for a while, never got around to it. But Framed Perspective 1 I've bought wanted to buy the second one after finishing the first one.

Isn't there also Framed Ink by Mateu-Mestre?

Framed Ink focus is on composition.

I don't think you need How To Draw if you still didn't learn what is on Ernest Norling book.

There is a article here on Drawabox about How to Draw book and one of the messages is that H2D book is not mandatory, you need to choose your goal before.

Thx I didn't know that framed ink is about composition.

For the article about H2D. I will read it and keep in mind that I should read the book from norling and to be honest I'm quite hyped to read that book. Thank you for the recommendations!

The Science of Deciding What You Should Draw

The Science of Deciding What You Should Draw

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.
