I hadn't done these in a long while so I have to admit I was surprised how instinctive it still felt. What I did forget was that fountain pen nibs eat at the paper when you're going over a line that many times that fast. Oops. I just don't like how dry microns/technical pens feel compared to wet ink so I avoid them....I think you can see where I realized though and started to hesitate so I'll have to work on that. Anyway, I generally struggle with proportions so hearing Peter talk about how training spacing with these exercises can help, really resonated with me. I'll definitely continue to keep that in mind going forward. Also did the angles with the rulers thing on this page. This blew my mind for some reason and made me feel like I was robbed in HS geometry because I don't remember ever being taught how to use triangle rulers in this way.

Since I've never done these before, so they took me a longer than I expected. I found them to be really fun puzzles though. I usually get impatient with drawing grids but some part of my brain wanted to make these perfectly neat and balanced. I found that drawing even grids really helped a lot with the spacing and was worth the extra effort. I definitely intend to do more of these but I noticed more videos came out so I figured I'd post what I have before I fall too far behind.

Question, is there a posting schedule for this course? I keep forgetting to check so I kinda just want a rough time to know when to come see if there's new videos.... Weekly? Every two weeks? Just wanna make sure I don't end up forgetting all about it....

I would have never looked at a piece like this, thats more nature based, and stopped to think this much about the use of perspective and now I probably wouldn't be able to look at any piece without considering its perspective, even if its for a fraction of the time I look at it. That's a valuable lesson on its own, I suppose.
