let's start off with some simple perspective

I was pretty damn proud when I first made this, but now...aaaaaaaaaaa

the rooftops, the sidewalk and the bottom edge of the buildings (which you forgot to draw) should meet at the same two vanishing points

oh!

I should look that up

his books are no longer in print but you can get pdf's of them here: http://alexhays.com/loomis/

as a side note! most of the time buildings do not have the same width, same amount of space, or same flat rooftops, so try varying them up next time

I read his figure drawing book and i got significantly better. Keep up with perspectives. It will help you a lot when all of your skills come together.

oh and thanks for the link Jeinu

oh fuck it. This mean war.

I'll live and breath art
I'll spend 70-100% of my spare time drawing. No exceptions.
I'll buy drawing books and fucking embed the fundamentals into the inner workings of my goddamn soul.
I'm gonna get a fucking easel, go to the fucking park, and fucking draw until my hands bleed.
Hell, I'll bring a sketchbook and pencil wherever I go, No matter fucking what

I'm fucking serious about this. I'm going to get better, no matter what. Even If it means exhausting all of my funds, I'm still gonna do it.

fuck

easier said than done though

best to stop talkin about it and just do it
