the past couple of days I have really been trying this perspective, without much luck, I have had many good teachers and have watched and rewatched dvd's, I have read so many books, I always think I am onto something, then NAH..nothing..I feel so damn thick, this page is one I have been studying, pretty straightforward, looks easy, but I just can't put it on the paper.
Once I get this obstacle out of my way, I should be all set. I can't even properly find the eye level, it is so frustrating.

I totally understand how you feel. I checked out the site and it is pretty impressive stuff. But, the fact is, no matter how well it is explained...I simply don't get it either. I gave up trying to get it so I could just keep on enjoying the process of drawing. I decided it was too frustrating. I hope you have a break through and 'get it'.
ReplyDeleteoh thank you, I have too given up, many times, but i really need to learn it to do the things i want to do.It has been a great barrier to my growth.it is nice to know someone can comiserate with me.
ReplyDeleteI can't do perspective either and it eludes me. Like you, I think I get it, but then don't. If I wanted to be an architect I might keep trying but I too have decided art isn't fun any more if I live by all the rules. One lady in my plein air group said I have to know it. Apparentley I don't as I am still doing my art.
ReplyDeleteI also knew an art teacher who said you have to learn anatomy if you want to do people, dog or other animal anatomy for drawing them. Well I think I do a pretty good job without learning anatomy. I don't want to build a dog, I want to draw it. And if it isn't completely spot on, then just consider it is my interpretation of a dog. The dog doesn't complain.
Good luck tho. For me, I want to have fun.
lol..that is true jeanne..when i start getting too aggravated i give up again and go back to something fun..but always find myself coming back to this issue..I hope to overcome it eventually
