I'm a very forgetful person, so if I don't apply studies, there goes a day wasted. What Amit said too -- fill in the blank spaces :)

Definitely a good test to see what you don't understand..

The thing with perspective is that once you can seriously visualise shapes in 3d space (which is what you're studying rn) - anatomy studies will become _so much easier_ and you'll be able to draw figures, etc from imagination like a boss

So it's a way of checking how knowledgable you are about a subject

07 Mar 14:55

Lodratio

I dunno, drawing from imagination is about internalizing knowledge, right? If you can do something from your mind it means you've understood it

07 Mar 14:55

Hobitt

then you supplement it with external material

07 Mar 14:55

Amit Dutta

yeah neo, is doing it well :)

07 Mar 14:55

Hobitt

well but the initial idea is yours

07 Mar 14:55

Amit Dutta

I think drawing from imagination is overrated. It just means interior reference vs exterior reference I guess

07 Mar 14:54

Honestly neopatogen, you're on the right track! You're already studying the most important of fundamentals imo - you'll level up fast by continuing to study the way you are <3

Hobitt

study architectural styles

07 Mar 14:53

Lodratio

I know what you mean about no visual library :/. Whenever I try to do architecture I just end up drawing lots of pillars...

07 Mar 14:53

neopatogen

I'm having hard times with drawing from imagination, too. And I follow your advice smrr studying perspective :) It's extremely helpful but I still have to learn a ton

07 Mar 14:53

smrr

Yep. Gotta suck it up and do what we gotta do

07 Mar 14:53

Hobitt

so we must use what we have

07 Mar 14:52

Hobitt

yep i also just realised this we cannot replicate the variety that nature provides

07 Mar 14:52

smrr

<no visual library>

07 Mar 14:52

smrr

My shitty designs are what makes me hate my sketches lmao

07 Mar 14:52

smrr

That's good! Hmm, I've realised I need to incorporate/look at a ton of refs and add them to my drawings =_=

07 Mar 14:51

Hobitt

so much reference

07 Mar 14:51

Hobitt

also pintrest is a drug

07 Mar 14:50

Hobitt

well i draw from my head mostly now and its fun!

07 Mar 14:50

smrr

Have fun with your sketches! Yeah it's the way to go; love me some station points ;)

07 Mar 14:50

Hobitt

how wonderful station points are

07 Mar 14:49

Hobitt

ohh i studies perspective just recently decided to refresh my knowldge

07 Mar 14:49

smrr

Hobitt~! Sounds like you're reaching burnout territory -- loosen the goosey!

07 Mar 14:49

smrr

Understanding the fundamentals of perspective will improve your imaginative drawings in ways you could not believe. I'm sure I've mentioned this 100 times over though haha.

07 Mar 14:48

Hobitt

but time to change!

07 Mar 14:48

Hobitt
