>>2255843Thanks. Advice: Ignore everybody--if you're beginner, TRACE. TRACE from good reference and good artists. TRACE Loomis so you can internalize his rhythms and proportions. Hell, tracing has value even if you're an expert. Just rip up or delete your tracings so no one will know your shame. Then copy without tracing when you're ready.
Rhythm is the most important thing to learn, followed by proportion and form.
1. Rhythm: Do quick gesture drawing from life or photo ref, study master/expert gesture drawings.
2. Proportion: Copy proportion diagrams, and good artists.
3. Form: The easiest way is to start with isometric perspective/projection because the lines are all parallel. Also, understand ellipse drawing using minor and major axis.
But draw a lot. The above stuff will only help you if you keep drawing for years.
