Gestures for anatomy
And 3d shapes to develop and understand for them
Also watch videos abt the basics

@lavish cargo alright, thank. I’ve been practicing some simple shapes and watching videos from the channel ‘draw like a sir’

I'd say just start drawing things you like or are passionate about! Practice observational drawing with references and anatomy!! Maybe watch some YouTube videos!

Try to feel the shape by seeing it and analyzing you wanna see it in your mind too for me this helped learn better

bruh

#

gng

#

go learn fundementals

#

you need to understand those basics before you can even properly draw a box

#

example of no fundementals

#

example of fundementals being implemented

#

so learn these things

  1. perspective
  2. form and structure
  3. value
#

these objects you are drawing are 3d

#

so you need to portray them as 3d objects

#

watch this

#

and read this

#

go seek out youtubers, books, etc for more detailed help with each thing

#

and always practice

#

don't just practice aimlessly

#

have a set target to improve for that practice session

#

for example: doing a values study throughout and implementing what you learned into your next drawing
