>dude draw a sphere in perspective without knowing how
>now draw all these complex forms on the sphere lol

>>3595205
Thats sounds dumb. Anything worth doing before loomis?

>>3595199
Just read the words and follow the directions. He doesn’t even ask you to draw everything, most of it is just him showing you stuff while you build the fundamentals.

Shilling this guy's videos

Introduction on how to draw the basic forms

How to draw the eclipse in perspective

How to draw boxes/cylander in 1,2,&3 pt perspective

These videos are kind of long but very helpful in learning basic fundamentals. Just draw along whatever he's drawing.

This reminds me of NMA. Just some old guy basically taking 3 hours explaining to you what Loomis' books teach in minutes if anybody'd bother to actually read them. I suppose some people will resonate with someone speaking to them more though.

>>3595250
Im sure nma has stuff you cant find in books? Right?

>>3595263
Not really, the instruction is more personalized to the instructor and it has lots of nice photo sets and 3D models though. It's still worth it to actually SEE somebody doing/ the more complex stuff like figure drawing, the what and how, rather than just having them there in a book mysteriously though. NMA is well worth the monthly cost of admission but sometimes when you hear forms and anatomy explained it's interesting how condensed the exact same shit is in books.

>>3595238
Look good.

So whats books do you recommend for each level?

Loomis is good for someone like me who spent years learning textures and rendering but my construction and perspective or /beg/ tier. Pic related and dumping

I'm uncomfortable drawing things that take up a lot of space and require a 3D drawing mind so my drawings end up looking flat.

>>3595573

For this one my visualization of space is better but that's because I used someone else's study as a reference.

>>3595574

Last one. I'm also gonna crank Perspective Made Easy and Color and Light. Any advice?

>I'm uncomfortable drawing things that take up a lot of space

im uncomfortable drawing on large sheets of paper. maybe cos when I was a kid I learnt on small printer paper.
maybe it says something about personality tho. wonder what a psychologist would say.

how do you do drawing simple bird shapes then? no texture or detail, just solids that represent bird

>>3595586

I start directly with details. Maybe I have a general outline but I start at one point and move outward from there. This is why perspective is troublesome for me, because I already have to worry about getting the proportions right (2D) but perspective requires me to add a whole new dimension to my work. My brain still needs to fully conceptualize it.

I repost this image quite a bit, but peter hans dynamic sketching is exactly what you need to be doing I think. simplify, see the shape, then you can put the shape into perspective and build the details on top,.

>>3595250
The reason a lot of his videos are long is because he shows how he uses his construction techniques on real life photo studies. It's pretty helpful to not just read about a construction method but to see how it's actively applied in real time to create drawings.

You're not really suppose to just listen to videos but draw along with them. I just use them often as my studies.

>>3595268
He also has a ton of figure drawing videos

My nigga.

Anything else like this series?

i'd say the best strategy is:

trace, then copy with sight-size, then copy by just guesstimating, then do from imagination.

repeat for a long time, can stop tracing after a while as it won't help anymore, eventually drop sight-size too
