I finally have some time later today, so I’ll be binge-watching all your videos. You’re such a great resource for artists. Thank you so much for always sharing your knowledge!
Rocks are so hard! Am I making a box in perspective mentally? Mine seem so flat and not 3D. I wish you would talk more about rocks in perspective! I’m trying to draw a rocky riverbed going off into the distance…drawing is so hard😭….but I’m determined!
Nudged the scale up on this one, and ended up putting two sessions to it... I have a bit of a thing about natural formations, and it mixes well with fiddling out some of the line-weight variations while I fart around on directional hatching between values and textures... SO adding a little scale gave not only some freedom for those littler inaccuracies to be less noticeable, but to diminish my "average line weight" at base anyway... I can always double or even triple a line by drawing over it again for more, but we can't lighten up or take ink back out of what's been done... It also lets me "draw more from my shoulder with the whole arm" as it were, rather than lay my hand down and micromanage by wrist or fingers... which is always a good practice. Luckily I have a ream of "flea market paper" that's unlabeled but 12 x 24 inches, so I might as well dedicate a few more sheets of it to practice anyways... and so far, it works well enough with the "cheap-o" fountain pens in my bunch... haha ;o)

Does the turning the paper 90degrees help with visualising this as well?😀
rocks ARE hard!
