This lesson is from this SVS – How to Draw Everything.

This focus of this lesson is muscle memory. We want to develop the basic technical skills of good lines, shapes, and perspective so that we don’t need to think about the basics when we are trying to work on a piece. We can focus on the what instead of the how. It’s a little boring to do these basic drills, but I can tell that my skill has improved over the years. When I took this class two years ago, even straight lines were a struggle. Now, I’m surprised at how much easier it is to get a good line onto a page. I think Draw A Box really helped with this too. I’ll add this to the Anki deck even though it’s more of a warm up. These are still good drills and I can see how I can improve over time. This time I did it on paper, but next time I want to try in Photoshop to work on my technical skill there too.
