I just tried by best to copy the lines from the reference with a ruler and everything but it's just not working. I told myself not to worry and to just try to power through and this is how it turned out. What i'm trying to do isn't even difficult, this is as simple as can be but it still went terribly. What was I supposed to do instead?

Ah, I think it’ll help a lot if you try to find the vanishing point from the reference picture

It’ll also help to just draw what you see and not what you think you see.

Draw it face value and don’t try to think “oh this is a chair so I think it should look like this judging from the ref”

Just think of it as lines you have to follow

I’ll show you what I mean

Don’t mind my messing lines lol

#

The lines come from a vanishing point and I think it’ll help you visualize how the bench is positioned in space

How am i supposed to establish a vanishing point when starting a drawing?

If you want to learn perspective, I’d recommend you watch some yt videos on one-point perspective and two-point perspective

They will help you get a visualization of how objects lie in space

Think about the big over all shape and you can carve out of it to get a bit more accurate to make what you want
