Perspective & heads

Practicing perspective drawing 

Perspective has always been a difficult one for me to get my head around. Before the task I looked at a lot of examples and copied a lot of diagrams in order to get my head around it all.

I find that I struggle with practicing perspective because it frustrates me. For some reason I struggle to get my head around it all and this frustrates me, and because of this I start to avoid it in order to avoid the feeling of frustration. Now this is a very silly way to be, because if I avoid it, I won't get better at it but sometimes it really disheartens me when I keep getting it wrong and fail to understand it. 

Stupidly, I have left my digital drawing tablet in Carlisle and can't go back to get it because of the lockdown restrictions. I wanted to practice my shading and accuracy with drawing objects such as bottles and cans. Here are some rather crude and cack handed examples of what I'd practiced, they would have been a lot better if I had my tablet. 

Drawing Heads 

I've always enjoyed portraiture. People fascinate me and I love trying to capture their features in my drawings. I've always found it useful to use a grid method whenever I'm drawing faces as it helps for a more accurate piece of work. I use my light-box for the grid to save me drawing it and then having to erase it on my finished piece.
