Are there really people on this board who cannot even draw forms this simple from imagination without a reference?
>>
>>7970925
nope. they are just pretending. it's called performance art.

i don't have an imagination, i usually just start drawing boxes at weird angles and then i draw things within the boxes at the angle the box is in. sometimes i get art out of it, sometimes i don't

That ones easy, look.

Foreshortening is just taking a difference between two identical diemnsions

2 inch apple becomes another, smaller, farther away, but still 2 inch apple. The distance between the to is your "Focal Length" assuming they are idnetical .

Your brain does a lot of interpolation.
>>
>>7970925
most people can't, its unnatural to be able to see the world for what it is. Our eyes INTERPRET what we see and our brains try to make sense of it. Drawing is not natural.

That is a beg trap. you should never draw what you see
>>
>>7970925
I struggle to draw shapes sometimes, I got a couple photo references of real life cubes in different positions I like to trace over

>>7970925
Damn these are great, I especially love the bar of soap thing
>>
>>7970935
Why did you start drawing in the first place if there was nothing in your head that you wanted to draw?
>>
>>7970925
What brush did you use? did you use multiple layers? I want to do this exercise too, it looks fun.

1 layer, square brush opacity on pressure, though a binary brush is just as good.

It is fun!
>>
>>7971025
this board is truly lost....
>>
>>7971344
So it's both lighter and smaller the lighter you press? What's a binary brush?
>>

Looks cool post more

For me this only applies to complex things, especially faces. Boxes and cylinders are just boxes and cylinders. Even if you can't imagine one in your head you should somehow know what a circle and rectangle are.

Complex tings are composites of simple tings!

who cares nigga just use a pencil. The tools don't matter.

>>7971356
I care. I'm asking because I care We're discussing art in the place where you discuss art. Get a grip.

Being able to draw from imagination doesn't mean you necessarilly should do it.

Some people find it easier to work dark to light for this exercise. I know I did when I first started.
>>
>>7971362
I don't think "imagination" means "lock yourself in an airtight room with no references whatsoever", I think it really just means "original piece that didn't exist before". So it might be a combination of multiple existing references. What's the point of being an artist anyway if you're not creating original pieces?
>>
>>7970925
Yes that would be me
