Setting up the goal.      It can sound like reverse engineering :). Let's define what are the final objectives of getting a new skill or sharping one you already have. References of works that made you motivated to start you learning roadmap should be taken into accout as much as possible. So, here is the start point: take a reference picture and simply duplicate it. If you afraid that it can take enormouse amount of time just set a limit to 45 min or 1,5 hours and then you can compare yor artwork with reference, define what things didn't go well and make a check list. Setting up the goal.      Set time to be commited per week. (on some marathons frequence can be set even per day). Try to think what pretext can be appear at planned time to give up drawing session and specify prevention procedures for that. Keep materials in accessible place.      Make materials to be prepared and keep them in accessible place while it become a habit. If you w...

  Complex forms are actually combination of basic ones. Ones you learn youself see complex form as simple intersected shapes you becom very clear about how to draw every form on the planet. That is the time to start draw complex forms head (horse, human) or trees. Choose your favorite subject and draw compiling your knowlege from previos steps. Then you can continue with tasks listed below: Part 8: Plein air Part 9: Multiple plans study Part 10: Skin painting Part 11: Portrait in collage technique Part 12: Reproduction Part 13: Composition from set Part 14: Same idea in defferent techniques Part 15: Realistic to abstract Part 16: By choice Part 17: Final assesment

  Find multiple plans views to draw for cases when the main object of composition is on the first plan, - on the last plan, - somewhere in the middle. Think how to keep the main objects in focus.
