@MrFrenik: Thank you, I'm always open for suggestions on how to learn perspective :) As for actually learning it, I think I got the concept down in my head just a matter of practice, practice and practice now. After I finish this little character I'll start on perspective ;) It so happens to be the next chapter as well in the book.
Though I do think I need to diversify my studies more.
On that note, the 'Fun with a pencil' book is slowly coming to and end. After this I have a few more books of Loomis hanging around but I'll start diversifying more as to keep it all in level (sort of speak).
@Inkling: That looks hard :p So we basically need to try and see the 2d shapes inside the 3d object itself, or am I seeing it the wrong way?
Observational drawing is something I should do more indeed. Nothing beats drawing from life to learn and see the actual world.
So basically I'm going to try and diversify my studies in these 2 areas: anatomy and perspective.
The subject for each study will be different: observation, study books and imagination.
Composition will be next, when I have a decent handling on anatomy and perspective.
Color will be one of the last (when I start doing digital)
So I've been working on another character from Loomis (building not copying). I also looked for hands and feet but they are not yet in this book.
And the 'finished' one. Can't wait to start the next book as these are more caricatures (though they do have a somewhat decent framework) and the next books is more reality.
