Should i really find a circular object for the funnels exercise

12:51 PM, Saturday April 6th 2024

As i am doing the funnels in my pool of warm ups it isn't hard for me to pick it up but it can like dish plate. also the ink of the pen might affect to the dinner plate and i dont have a curved ruler ( atleast not a big enough one ) but drawing an arch for the funnels isn't that hard for me i am very experienced at drawing curves by the way. so do i really have to find an object to help me of can i just do it freehand

As the instructions in the exercise say, alternatively you can find a round object, but the goal is not to practice our freehand curves. You'll get a consistent result out of using a curved object and that will make it easier to place the straight lines, but ultimately it's up to you. For what it's worth, fineliner ink is generally water-based and will wash off a plate if you do somehow manage to get it on there.

Marshall Vandruff's Perspective Course

Marshall Vandruff is a ubiquitous name in art instruction - not just through his work on the Draftsmen podcast and his other collaborations with Proko, but in his own right. He's been teaching anatomy, gesture, and perspective for decades, and a number of my own friends have taken his classes at the Laguna College of Art and Design (back around 2010), and had only good things to say about him. Not just as an instructor, but as a wonderful person as well.

Many of you will be familiar with his extremely cheap 1994 Perspective Drawing lectures, but here he kicks it up to a whole new level.
