--yep! it's the base of more complex drawings anyway and doing that will simplify the forms which makes it easier to memorize them too. chances are if you draw a horse like that 10 times from different angles and really construct it every time you'll memorize the basic forms and proportions forever

--at fzd they draw animals etc like low polygon models to practice perspective on soft surface objects
05 Aug 00:18
--you can also do some very tight perspective drawings of the animals in the zoo if you are more into animals :)

--its all about finding more about your own taste, so follow your instinct. just because fzd makes their students draw them doesnt mean you need to too
05 Aug 00:17
--but i'd only use that if you're actually into airplanes - if they dont interest you theres no point in studying them
05 Aug 00:16
--And airplanes have cilinders and wings under an angle that need to be attached properly, can be a challenge
05 Aug 00:16
--and after they've built up that giant crate of legos they start putting them together and start designing stuff from imagination
05 Aug 00:15
--afaik they just draw all kinds of things for half a year to fill up their minds with things
05 Aug 00:14
--I guess they do airplanes first because they are hard surface and easier to draw correct in perspective?
05 Aug 00:13
--Well everyone always say draw from live, so that should also apply to animals :)
05 Aug 00:13
--they also build scale models of airplanes etc and visit museums to really get a good understanding of what theyre doing. just looking it up online just doesnt cut it if you really wanna get into things

--i heard that in FZD they send their students to the zoo aswell to study from life, too. they could've just googled all of that but i'm sure they got a similar thought process behind it to really get a 1st hadn experience of it
05 Aug 00:07
--nice! sadly we don't have a zoo here or i'd do it aswell, but thats all part of the deal :)

--Lmao Jan. Got to visit the local Zoo this weekend, I'm lucky animals don't wear clothes. So using anatomy books is ok for your challenge, that's great!

--for some reason my gay friends are way more ripped than my straight friends, they'll make for some great muscle ref lolol
