Going through a 'everything I do and everything I've done is shit' phase of learning how to draw. Upside of it though is and increased motivation to go back to basic studies and suckle at the teat of fundamentals (sorry for the gross imagery) while i wait for my ego to return. 

rough plan is to blast through HowToDraw and HowToRender again, try and get through them by the end of the year, skipping the shadow construction and going straight onto lighting basic forms 

 

 

 

 

 

I did these last week, but most of my time has been finally getting to grip with lens, scale and distance. it's taken me a couple of years to understand but I feel I've finally got an accurate understanding of it and can draw in accordance to a particular lenes (these studies were all 50mm) with calculated scale (this alone has made me really wanna get back to making personal pieces). As I continue going through the books I'll continue churning out new grids for a selection of lenses (24mm, 35mm, 50mm, 100mm and 200mm), I'll post the files when I'm done and explain how to make them if anyone is interested. It'll just be basic perspective at first (where the vertical lines are perpendicular to the horizon and don't converge) but I'll expand it to full perspective at some point 

 

Yo Miracoly, thanks for the comment man, your sketchbook is my go to when I'm feeling lazy and need a kick start, gotta try keeping up with ya.
