Its not really an approach since I drew and then erased the lines that convey form haha.

But just generally I remember when I was learning I had a lot of issue with understanding what form beings to a picture and using form, drawing blobs on blobs helped a lot with understanding it.

Cheers, line weight had been a study topic of mine recently haha.

Sorry it's not that amazing, just woke up a few minutes ago. http://i.imgur.com/MTKZncr.jpg

I guess for me, I read Villpu when I was learning, and so now to explain the importance of form and conveying solidity (and how to demonstrate it), I think back to how I learnt it (which was more or less putting a sheet over simple forms)

Looking back on the main point of your tutorial though, I should have a picture of the simple forms I considered when drawing too, but 5am. But yeah, for me the main difference is having more than the outline.

Good little tutorial, although towards the end it does get quite confusing in the sense that it looks like you are adding detail rather than form.

Personally my preferred way of demonstrating form is to draw a sphere with a bulb/blob coming off it, emphasizing the connection between the two forms, and then comparing that to an outline of the shape.
