drifter93's sketchbook

[JosephCow]

To avoid copying you need to understand what fundamental create 3d.You will need to combine multiple fundamental to create the illusion of 3d space.The goal is to start to see object inside your head and be able to rotate them without this rotation you will be stuck observing and will not be able to do your own imaginative work.

Tristan was saying pretty much the exact opposite. Do copy. He's right. This is why:
You can draw all the 3D constructions of forms you want, but you cannot be drawing the correct forms if they are the wrong size, or in the wrong place. So logically, you must be able to see where things are supposed to go, and what size to draw them first before constructing anything as a 3D form. 

There is so much contrary advice in this sketchbook right now, that I almost don't want to add any more. But here we are.
