hey, @knightdroid I’m not sure what you mean by moving the camera sideways. But distortion usually happens when we draw things that are outside of our cone of vision, this is what happens with fisheye lenses. Nevertheless, even when boxes warp, they still converge in the same way. Take a look at my corrections for box 1. (Box 2 is better.) Getting this right is hard by the way, I still occasionally slip Hope this helps, let me know if you have any questions

It looks like the box got a little farther from the camera but also grew taller and skinnier. Not sure what you meant by "moving the camera sideways"? Did you mean moving the camera more to the right?

Hey Knightdroid, I like your commitment to get better, it shows you must really want it. As far as your blending goes, it just takes practice. If you can use a soft edge brush with pressure sensitivity, then just lower your pressure as you go and it will create lighter values. Then just keep working back and forth until you get a good transition. As for your drawing, I have some suggestions that I think will help. I did a quick sketch over some of your drawings that show what I think you could work on in your stuff. Don't forget gesture and perspective in your figures, especially how the head, torso and pelvis relate to each other. I hope this will be helpful :)

Hi knightdroid, Beleive me, i completely understand you, as I was reading your post I thought this is exactly what I face as well. I do struggle with blending colours and values and they turn out to be messy and i always get the sphere right somehow but can't do blending that well on any other forms. And that sucks, and i am also practicing my skill for few years and i am no where near my goal and it's heartbreaking. But the one thing that help me is blending with opacity brush and stroking it only in one direction i guess, and allowing myself few strokes to do blending. I guess that will help you too. Best of luck

Btw, im drawing on android device with a drawing tablet connected to it.

Hey knightdroid! I like the exercise. For the first image: First thing I would immediately point out is that the cylinder representing the upper arm/brachium is not being foreshortened. The lines stay parallel for first 4 transformations. You should angle them like you did in the 5th transformation, just in smaller steps. In other words, they should be begin angling towards a vanishing point once you rotate them away from their perpendicular angle to the viewer. The cylinder/cone representing the forearm has a square at the end of it that isn't quite keeping its shape, or representing itself accurately to how it should once it gets angled towards the viewer. The first tip I would recommend to help you visualize this is to contain all of the circles within a square, as the transformations being applied to the square will shrink and angle the circles at each end of the cylinders. For the second image: The 5th transformation should not have a flat square if it isn't facing directly towards the viewer. I think you do a good job respecting the fact that the surface lines of the forearm would curve more as they approach the viewer, just make sure to stay consistent on how many lines there are, you miss some as you transform the image. And in general: I would recommend learning more of perspective, and assuming you are in the process of that, incorporate more of the concepts into your exercises. Vanishing points, horizon lines, X,Y,Z axis; these are all things you can add into your exercises to not only learn the concepts themselves but also how they affect the shapes you draw (even if they aren't there in the drawing.) Otherwise, keep it up. Good work from one droid to another (My username is 0mnidroid but that isn't showing for some reason :| ).
