I managed to finish the second exercise of 3 point perspective with boxes! <br/><br/>This time I kept the boxes with one edge on the 3rd vanishing point line, to have less tilting and be able to work on less exaggerated shapes. I also tried to experiment a bit by trying to have the same box rotated under a specific far away point. It was interesting :) <br/><br/>1000 more boxes and I think I&#39;ll get hang of it!! Jokes aside in the last 2-3 boxes I didn&#39;t bother too much with finding the 2 horizon VPs very precisely and added some intuition to it and I _think_ that helps a LOT with the process without losing too much of having realistic and decently oriented boxes!!<br/><br/>#artjourney #mastoart<br/> <img src="https://sb-gedem3ze4.b-cdn.net/media_attachments/files/113/200/795/202/685/793/original/c4f2b42186e32143.png"> <br/> 2024-09-25T23:39:03Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsfchcnd9rn2lqt73cxgee7cf3x9ppcng38lf4h7ed32v58lm9ywzgzyqxslwcvtjdghe00jqvgg57hc3uq5yahh6njgnmv2nusgz8d0rvxg77ffwq In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs82crqh7xjngkatvzntqfzj9nq547m9dzdedm77f3ncqs22e37dag6nl622'>nevent1q…l622</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Tbh I didn&#39;t expect such a nice welcome...

Inspiration comes from the moment. These times every cell in your body just wants you to grab the pencil and just do what you know must be done. I just lived a moment like that. Real time. 😃<br/><br/>It&#39;s part of the journey of learning art. It&#39;s a small study because it&#39;s from real life. And you depict not only what you see, but you feel.

Doing the second time the same exercise I&#39;m feeling I&#39;m getting my mojo back and get more comfortable with it, but still it takes time and focus to actually do it right. <br/><br/>The crazy thing is that these boxes are SO SO damn important when it comes to making rooms, environments, bodies, movements, everything, because all bodies (humans, animals, aliens) end up breaking in these things... Or you even put bodies and cars inside these things to figure out their depth (all hail master Kim Jung Gi)...<br/><br/>Meanwhile while looking at my own manga pages and comparing them with others&#39; I see what is off with my style, technique, etc. Gradually I&#39;ll end up studying the beasts themselves...

Now comes the time when I realize that my pages, even though people like &#39;em from what I understand, are really turds to my eyes, I have to dive into skills training and some study. The results are probably considered boring and for this reason aren&#39;t shared, I&#39;ll try to make this a thread/journal of how one&#39;s drawing skills improve. It&#39;ll most probably include boxes, and thoughts, and figures, (and bold attempts at copying legends of manga making) but when the time feels right, I&#39;ll try to make a new page of #Antumbra and see how these things have helped.
