I started with some simple shapes and kept adding more details. I learned how to draw stairs in perspective by analyzing Jack Frost's Palace and then tried my hand at a curved slope. I like the final result and how "simple" it remains.

When drawing in perspective, I begin by sketching small thumbnails without focusing on accuracy, identifying potential problems along the way. This preliminary work, though unseen, is crucial for getting started. It allows me to establish a solid foundation in perspective before addressing more complex issues. Like any skill, drawing involves various stages of learning—some lessons may be straightforward, while others are challenging, but each is invaluable. Armed with knowledge and practice, solving perspective problems becomes manageable.

From todays lesson I picked up the term "thumb nailing". I gave myself until my i pad died (45min) to try to figure out on my my own how to draw a fire pit. It was fun. I saw this circle technique used by other students not that long ago so I tried to make it work. Brain is fried.
