If you’re looking for art books, I can thoroughly recommend that perspective book, plus Barrington Barber’s Fundamentals of Figure Drawing – that’s a really good one for drawing people. Also a Giovanni Civardi’s Figure Drawing: A Complete Guide. Excellent resources I wouldn’t be without.
I wouldn’t say she’s overdrawn at all. This is a great piece.
I learned from a book called Perspective Made Easy.
To be honest, I wouldn’t hold this up as a great example. There’s a lot wrong with it. I insist on drawing freehand, but if you want to do the job properly, a ruler is a must, if only to pay out the guidelines. I’ll probably do that for the next big project.
Thank you! I think so too, now my hand has uncramped and I can look at it without going crosseyed.
Ooh, this sounds like something I should look into. Is it good? I’m coming to the end of Disco Elysium so maybe I’ll give it a go…
Thank you! And a lot of that is directly because of the book you recommended. It really taught me a lot!
Thanks!
Thank you!
Thanks! This was eight evenings – by the end I was thoroughly sick of looking at it!
This was… a lot of lines.
I am rather tired now.
Oh thank you! You’re very welcome!
Thank you! Eight evenings well spent!

Thank you!

Well that’s disturbing.
The story behind this is amazing. I stumbled across the original photo in an old photography book and followed up on it.
