Hi guys as the title says im trying to build up my fundamentals (Perspective, Composition, Values, Form, etc.). I was wondering what course will help me with this. Or should i try something else?
If you want to get started with fundamentals I would highly recommend starting with Fundamentals of Figure Drawing it will help you develop a good understanding of Form and basic Perspective.
For a good introduction to perspective, Marshall has a 12 video course on his website.(https://marshallart.com/SHOP/all-products/all-videos/1994-perspective-drawing-series/)
Otherwise you could learn a lot from ModernDayJames's Perspective Series on Youtube.(https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-YQfqQQpg3dFq5rxS9eFFf2ksMb7Ygpq)
If you want to learn how to use primitive shapes to indicate form and draw almost anything with a bit of introduction to design, Concept Design Academy has Dynamic Sketching which i found to be extremely helpful.
Composition and Values are the next step after form and perspective.
For light and shadow - Dorian Iten's Course is the best one I know of.
For composition - (I haven't personally gone through this one) Bill Perkin's Course on NMA is very comprehensive
But for a brief introduction check out (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wg-So3ElA8g)
I hope you find this helpful.
