Thank you Darktist for your feedback and suggestions, it’s all really relevant.
I have noticed the same thing as you with how stiff my copy of Hagio is: a tendency to put faces and bodies back to the vertical when they are slanted.
Calligraphy could certainly benefit me. Maybe I can afford an initiation sometime this year.
The first drawabox exercice is indeed done with a ruler. It’s meant to get used to vanishing points and perspective. The second one is really tricky because every point of the boxes must be done by hand. And I’m already, as you’ve noticed, making a lot of mistakes while trying to draw a simple rectangle…
I’m not allowed to use the tool you mention while drawing, but I will now correct those lines as well afterwards in red to force my brain to put more attention to it. And I’ll cheat a little, checking the angle before I make any line, so that I get some remanent picture of a straight line…
Maybe this will help!
