Starting a fresh sketchbook for the fundamentals
Old sketchbook thread was too cluttered and not updated for months on end (I was living without internet)
Will keep this one compact and update on a weekly basis. Will post relevant sketches, only stuff I need help with to check list whether I'm on the right track
Finally got myself a Smart phone and a Wi-Fi connection so now I can follow you guys :D
I thought I could figure out the fundamentals by copying and coming up with something like how to analyze angles and kind of wing it and I did come quite a bit with what I intended to do but I couldn't quite solidify it.
So now it seems I have to learn perspective to make better sense of what I tried doing so far.
I can't explain with words alone lol.
As for proportions, I'm sticking with Loomis's body proportions.
Current Goal:
-Proportions and Perspective and applying theory into practice
-Main aim for now is to figure out the basic rules of perspective.
Will post some fresh stuff this Friday night (IST)
Just learned how to copy surfaces in 3D space
By the way, does anyone know how to divide a rectangle in fifths, sevenths and nineths?
Any specific technique for that?
Dividing it in half and thirds is fairly straight forward but what about the rest?
I need it for my body proportions actually.
