Been waiting three years for this. It's rewarding to see this part of the course finally coming into being.

THIS is the atomic level of drawing right here. Forms (specifically boxes and cylinders) are the visual alphabet that underpins nearly every representational drawing. I see a lot of students that *think* they have a problem with anatomy when in reality they are struggling with form. Form is worth obsessing about, and worth obsessing about early. Additionally, learning to handle form correctly will make other books like "How To Draw Comics The Marvel Way", and "Figure Drawing For All It's Worth" more useful. I can't think of a better art education communicator to put this out in the world than Stan, and I cannot recommend this approach enough.

Would anyone like to join me in a study session type group chat? We'd meet every few days, watch the lessons, critique each others art, and so on. I'm only level 1 in this, and my line art isn't great, but that's why I want other people I can have conversations and critiques on each others art with, so I can see where I need to go and be kept accountable for doing the lessons. Dm me if interested.

I'll be quite keen to do that :) I often miss the deadlines for the assignments, even when I do them so a group study session every few days would be nice. (also level 1)

DrawAbox is also a great source to help with learning perspective.

Oh man, boxes and cylinders. When I started drawing I spent a good chunk of my first year with drawabox. Guess I'll do some of that in preparation.

I’m not an expert on perspective but I’ve found this to be a very good book. There is also a volume 2 which I haven’t picked up yet but definitely will.

depends of how much precision do you want but, How to draw by Scott Robertson is pretty good, I think perspective is always with a small amount of inaccuracy, even the technical drawing has a amount of inaccuracy
