Been drawing now actively for two years. Where I used to just draw lines to match the reference, now I begin to see objects in space within a specific camera. angle. This new perspective is informing the lines, it's guiding where it needs to go. Instead of previously looking at the picture, how does it look? Now it's like how does the shape appear logical/natural in space.

E.g. it's the difference between learning how to spell vs. writing a story.

Makes you revisit the educational system again. Wasn't the whole goal of those lessons to draw and write what we wanted to make, instead of needing to have the right spelling. The goals are completely misplaced. You're being judged for the practice but never get to make art.

The more I think about it, the more it hurts my brain. How silly the whole school endeavour was. I already knew that, but the level of idiocy is more profound than I imagined. And let's not even start on coloring pages.

Anywow. I'm now free to imagine where this plane is and where it's gonna fly off to.

Have a grand day.
