RE: Drawing like a pro - 88, Drawing a gate - one-point perspective
I have never seen better tutorials. I randomly drew the drawers and the mortar on a rough paper. Didn't mean to post. Otherwise, would have used my sketchbook. It has medium-coarse papers.
I can clearly see there are a lot of mistakes as I have no previous knowledge about perspective drawing and it was also my first attempt.
For example, I outlined the shadows too hard I think. They should look seamless. I should've kept the distance between 2nd and 3rd ball lesser than first two.
I have read upto lesson 24 I guess. Would you also be teaching how to use different paints in future?
Hi @event-horizon, all is very well done. At this stage, there are many things that you do not know yet, but it is a very good sign that you can see your mistakes. In the next lessons, you will find the answer to your problems with perspective.
It is good that you know that the shadows are not right, the next step is to draw again until they are fixed.
In the stage in which you find yourself, it is very important that you learn to know your materials and tools, how to use them and how to take care of your supports so as not to damage them.
I suggest you read the first lessons ( 2 - 3 - 4 - 5) where I talk about materials and tools and how to use and care for them.
For example, this should never happen (see marked in red below). To avoid these undesirable marks, the way you handle the pencils is very important.
See lesson 5 Holding the pencil to draw
Greetings!
I read all the lessons from the beginning. I got the different pencils but haven't been able to find the blender yet. I learned about the paper ruler.
Like I said, I just randomly drew these on the first paper I saw (the marks you see are of my son's writing practice at the back of paper).
I will re-draw everything on the paper you suggested. Probably get a new sketchbook for practice.
Great!
