Art process

  One of good practicies is colleting and use referencies for sketching or painting. Suppose now it can be named a moodboard. That is an interesting fact that people intuitively start collecting most attractive illustrations from magazines and newspapers.  Once upon my fineart school time one of my classmates bring hers aunt art referecies book so almost whole group become collect illustration referencies in the same way by gluing cutted out illustrations to old notebook. Later my husband told that he gained his profissioncy thanks to redrawing images from his aunt collection. So my strong suggestion is to start your own collection shortly.

  The very basic skill before drawing thing of a complex shapes is ability to display object of a basic shape in perspective properly. Intial practical task for studens in academic drawing are usually liniar drawing of simple geometric shapes made of gispsun of a similar size (normally it 15x20cm, 20x20cm) for better perception. Even invisible edges must be drawn to execute that task.
