A lot of today reading / watching art stuff.
Whenever I get back to things I have to go through predictable phases now. First phase is strict measuring. Second angles. Third being able to just look at things and get them pretty close. Then finally that "drawing is actually sculpture" unlocks. And it's awful, so no more breaks.
Here's a Krenz worksheet for rotating a construction subject. Made it today in blender, thought it would be good to have a very technically accurate reference as opposed to relying on photos of cubish objects, or going into blender every time. Each cube is rotated by ten degrees difference, so you have 10 degree rotation right, 20 degree rotation right, 30, etc. Obviously it's also orthographic so there's no perspective distortion. I used it to doodle some heads. It's a good way to start exercising those 3D muscles, and do some relative perspective stuff. Highly recommend this if you have a few minutes to sketch. Also works as a photoshop brush so it's always handy.
