added comment inUsing Graph Paper For Perspective
If anyone need Graph Paper for Clip Studio Paint, I've found some:
Rectangle: https://assets.clip-studio.com/en-us/detail?id=1864890
Triangle: https://assets.clip-studio.com/en-us/detail?id=1729628
While doing these, I found that it's still very hard to do straight lines on digital pen tablet-,-
How do people get their hand muscles to work as accurately as doing it manually on paper?

we cheat... if you place the first dot, hold the shift key and place the end dot, it makes a perfectly straight line (don't recommend doing that all the time if you actually want to learn line control)...otherwise, its the same as drawing lines on paper but you just turn the stabilization on the brush up a little or find a brush that feels like it has some drag to it. if you didn't use a stabilizer here, i think your digital lines actually look pretty good. in my opinion, there's just some kind of inherit disconnect with digital (i think because everything is so slippery) that just makes it way harder to get nice lines the way you can with paper and a pen. something about the way paper physically resists the tools really makes a difference.

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.

Asked for help
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.
did some more :) it was definitely easier/faster the 2nd time around. my grids are still not very even but i also could have probably googled how to do them properly haha

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....

For now it's twice a week (not counting this week), but we're going to settle into weekly releases soon. There will be one this week, it should be posted shortly- it will be a critique of the assignment of this lesson group.

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.
indeed, and what an amazing piece of art it is, so much lovely crafted details and appreciation for water :)
