Not sure if you doing those study on paper but if you are i think you should use the whole page instead of putting many on the same page also make sure to put the vanishing point at each end of the paper it should fix it i didn't realise at first why it was doing that but it now make sense now that i realise there is many drawing on the same page and the vanishing point are really close together.

What you should do is one study per page each of the 2 vanishing point should atleast go to each end of the page or outside the page.

I'm going through a stack of printer paper I have. Yeah I'll do some large scale stuff next time.

Here's some more box/shape stuff. Again, I've used some straight edge help, but I've been focusing more on technical drawing/perspective techniques.

Also I've added in a face I did yesterday. I draw one side freehand and then try to mirror it. A compass comes in handy. Then I put a sheet on top and trace it using a brush pen. Fun way of practicing lines and curves.

The perspective practices look good!
Just do more of them.

Also, using rulers in the beginning is pretty necessary, but you can get dependent on them;
Once you get a feel for how perspective and vanishing lines work, try doing these free-hand

dude remember the degrees of your Vanishing points that close to the horizon line its not gonna work that well keep them further away! theyre very clean and well thone tho its a nice experiment to do just dont do that when doing stoff for you, if you want that distorted look go for 4 point circular perspective which is way better for that!

keep going;DD

Hello, been a while since I was last on here, but there is a reason. I've started pursuing technical/artistic writing, in particular, Calligraphy, Lettering and Typography. I've been studying these since April, but I want to try and start implementing what is known as "deliberate practice" or "deep work". While I know these are graphic design subjects, and this is a concept art forum, I think I could still benefit from putting up my work here as I can see some overlaps. Plus it keeps me honest.

For now I'm focusing on calligraphy as it's a great way of learning letterform anatomy and basic scripts.

Here's some words I did in blackletter. (Using a Pilot Parallel 3.8 filled with Noodler's Heart of Darkness)



Is it OK if use the thread for this type of work from now on?

i mean you can but idk how many people are going to be able to help you improve on here. Maybe there are forums specifically for caligraphy you could seek out?

It seem kinda absurd to learn calligraphy none digitally in this day and age but who know you might be on something that still niche and that might be in demand.

If i can recommend a website that seem to teach about the subject you seem to be interest in that i assume is graphic design it this website.
