@korillagorilla well this is just a format and basic layout for a later drawing, sketching is used because you don't always have all your paint and supplies with you. you can sketch anywhere, that's the point of it.

@S13driftAZ Relating shapes is pretty much what the video training is all about explaining these terms and why the "science" of art is so important. Negative spaces are your "holes" between objects which help you relate distances. The "midline" is the halfway point between top/bottom and left/right side--again, "seeing" where these are helps you make your perspective better. There are many of these terms, all important, all of which help you with your mechanics... Now, go get the course!

This is really great. :)I'm just having a hard time understanding what all the terminology is. What do you mean by relate shapes, negative space, and whats the midline?

Not to be braggy, but drawing runs in my family, my brother, sister and I have been drawing since we first talked (literally) and the way we sketch is by eye not by doing some random circle technique... Not saying its wrong or bad, im 14 btw and I draw photo realistic portraits :)) ( like I said not to be braggy)

Honestly, the end product was not worth the time sketching

Oh God I can't draw. No worries though. I'll make myself good at it :)

@yusfah It does take time and focus, which are great qualities for any profession and hobby. Those come only from practice. And yes, I understand about distractions, that's common among artists because artists are usually thinking all over the map anyway--but consider that as a strength because they can see things no one else can. The best approach is to work Large to Small and Cycle around.
