Fortunately, there are more accessible sources for learning and honing your perspective: The fundamentals are still critical for all artists, and like death and taxes, perspective is an unavoidable aspect of our universe. Mileage is and will always be important, but you want to make every mile count for as much as it can towards your destination.ĭoes that mean you can ignore perspective? Haha, no- it doesn't. It's not about how much time you draw, it's how much you can extract and learn from every moment you draw that we want to maximize. That's right, instead of grinding pages of mirroring complex planes you could be focusing on the human body, which is one of the most difficult and demanding subject matters of all. Doing so could easily lead to you taking a more meandering road than you need to - effectively wasting your time. Don't let the common consensus of H2D as mandatory reading force you to fall in line without considering just how that applies to you. What if you tend to focus on organic subjects? Then for now let's say you don't need H2D, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't look at it, reference it (more on that later), or have it for fun. Say you want to draw hard surface objects and epic architecture: then, yes, H2D is probably a book you need to have on your shelf.
So let's do a very quick question and answer session to help you: What do you like to design and draw? Sexy anime people? Epic vistas? Weapons? Portraits? Mechs and vehicles? Animals? Objects you find in your every day life? Let's break it down to organic (humans, animals and such) and inorganic or hard surface (objects, weapons, and vehicles). US college students change majors an average of three times before graduating, and about 80% of students change at least once. To start with, is "How to Draw" what you need? We must be mindful and honest with ourselves when it comes to artistic goals, but as a beginner or intermediate, it is not surprising or bad to not fully know what our goals fully are. "How to Draw" (commonly referred to as H2D) by Scott Robertson is regarded by many self-taught artists as the pinnacle of resources - and for some it may very well be. It's a little much and can dilute precious time that could be spent on more focused, deliberate practice. With a figure drawing book, you at least stay on one topic: the human figure, but with "How to Draw" you get some perspective and camera lens information, cars, airplanes, environments. It is broad, and in being so, forces a beginner through too much, too quickly. Literally answering the most common question of "How do I learn to draw?", coupled with Robertson's (well earned!) reputation, causes it to become the siren's song to many young artists and distracts them from an honest evaluation of their needs and how best to meet them.Ģ. Its title, in its vagueness, promises more than any other. There are two main reasons I zero in on Scott Robertson's "How to Draw":ġ.

It is merely a series of warnings on putting too much significance on a resource without weighing its benefits to that individual's goals.
