I used .1 micron pen and markers.

How do you apply those measurements if you are to do them? To me it seems like a waste of time to actually think about it mathematically because no two people will have the same measurements so it seems to make more sense to just draw the figure so many times you get a feel for how long x should look from y perspective.

Also it seems to me that it would distract from the gesture anyway to measure it out like that when the goal is to create the illusion of depth so it will never be totally 100% accurate anyway.

For example when I study perspective I’ll spend maybe an hour actually measuring cubes out on a grid/vp, but I’ll spend the remaining hours of a practice session drawing the same cube from the same angle 50 or so times free hand and repeating that until I my brain starts to give up.

I’m a very analytical person so I’m worried about learning something incorrectly to the point it freezes me up. I’m wondering if it is simply a matter of mileage to find a way to balance intuitive and analytical study.
