This card is from SVS Visualizing Drawing in Perspective.

This lesson is a little different from a basic perspective lesson because it focuses on estimating and how to visualize objects in space. So we take a basic cube and look at it from above and below, then work on other shapes within the box like cylinders and spheres. One funny way to work with spheres is to draw faces on them so you can visualize how the eyes and mouth in particular will be different sizes and shapes as they wrap around the sphere. And it’s fun! 😀

Next time I will do this in photoshop so I can push my vanishing points out further and make the objects bigger. With working on paper, I have to keep the objects small, otherwise they get really distorted. I think actually at this point, I almost need to move to digital as my main learning tool just because of the flexibility, and practice both on paper and digitally.

I did 60 minutes going through the lessons and practice and then 45 minutes to complete this image.
