I did the thing!

So today I was just doing some line practices for 4 hours and also sketched some cubes occasionally. And I thought to myself: "Hey! I wanna try to stetch a cube in this weird floating state, not just sitting on the table."

So I took one of the paper cubes I made (one of them is my pfp), snapped a pic and tried to make some little practice sketches to see how it would suppose to look on paper.

I did quite a bit of those, but in all of them I was messing up with perspective. So I sat at my table with this cube in my hand recalling what I read about drawing shapes in the textbook on academic drawing I have and tryied to implement those things in my process.

And I fucken did it!

It is certantly not ideal. Not even damn close, to be fair.

But it's better then any floating cube I did in those 2 months I'm learning to draw. And the feeling, that I figured someting out, that I didn't know how to do something, and now I know the way to go. It was worth any failed sketches and all of frustration the caused. And the price of the book too.

It's not a big progress, and probably doesn't worth your timeat all, but this made me feel better about my current skills and my progress.

And it's my blog, what are you gonna do?

C.U.B.E.

This one is better then those I drew before actually.

TIL that I always practiced drawing cubes wrong

So... that's fun.

Anyway I brought more cube practices. You will see a lot of them.
