@Benjamin-M Welcome to the party!

@Frost-Drive Drawing outlines is actually part of that drawing course... The student practices replicating shapes, negative space, and contour lines on different objects. At this point in the course, the student hasn't touched on form or shading, so he's not supposed to be doing you're talking about yet.

@Benjamin-M It is very clear you improve from project to project!! Your are starting to learn to draw what you see instead of what your brain thinks it sees, and that's a HUGE first step!! Good job!!

whoosp my bad guys. I haven't taken that course yet

@Frost-Drive Lol, that's ok. I mean your observations were on point- as the assignment was pretty much about copying outlines and your recommendation was on point too, as the following assignments are about form!

@Julia

Thanks! Drawing is something I always wanted to try, but I never really knew how to get started. I discovered SVS and decided to give it a try.

So excited for you! It's great to finally jump into something that you've always wanted to try! I started playing guitar a few years ago... couldn't play a chord at the beginning but now I'm able to play the songs I enjoy to a decent standard. Keep at it and enjoy the journey - every step!!
