This is too difficult for a beginner. There are different levels of beginners also but I as a beginner can't do these steps at all. The tilt and perspective, I simply cant do it and I can't move forward if I can't draw them.

Hey, I was where you were not that long ago. Last year, my boxes and circles and ellipses were really wobbly and distorted but two things helped me. 1. Practising them again and again in fun ways. 2. Letting go of getting it "right". Time and time again, the advice I got was to trust that soon, and with enough repetition, they'd improve. Draw-A-Box helped a lot. I only made it through the first three lessons before I had to put it down (the commitment was too high at that time as I was quite ill) but what I learned there was invaluable. And free. Keep going. You've got this.

This all just takes time and practice. I understand being frustrated and if this approach isn't resonating than that's ok. However, you're getting it. That's clear in the drawing above. All the steps are there. Now you just need to practice refining it. Understanding will come and it will get easier with time and effort

Thinking in perspective is likely the most mind fuck thing for a beginner lol. I found the first lesson a bit challenge to follow along with as a complete beginner. Perspective the last step is most challenging, I still don't get it. But this seems like one of those things I just have to go through to learn this, it can't be helped. You are my last hope haha

Marshall Vandruff said to draw 20 boxes a day so every day i drew 20 boxes in perspective. took about a month before i could flip the boxes any old which way. then i added cylinders and spheres. i started to look for and to see perspective everywhere. so it took a while, about a month or two, before i felt like perspective wasn't breaking my brain. so may i suggest boxes? you can draw them anywhere. no one has to know you're studying perspective

I second MH's "be patient with yourself". But as I was where you were not too long ago, I can tell you, the key is to keep practising and remember to have some fun! Truly, practice makes progress. But don't get too discouraged when it feels hard or you're not making progress fast enough. Something that could help is to check out the DrawABox lessons, if you haven't already. They helped me a TON but can feel a bit demanding a times. It took me a long time to get through the first two lessons but they changed how I approach drawing completely. But they are free at DRAWABOX.com with community critiques or you can pay a little bit a month for critiques from the DAB team.

Totally agree lol. Perspective was the hardest hurdle as a beginner. It takes time. Be patient with yourself.
