In my world of painting, I deal with color, shapes, composition, narative, and texture. Right now in drawing class, we are drawing still lifes accurately and worrying about things like measurement and ratio. I hadn&#8217;t realised until me teacher mentioned something about the perspective in my drawing that not only am I uninterested in accurate representations of things, I actually have a hard time making my brain draw them accurately. I seem to take an object and anthropomorphasize it in my brain before I even start to draw it. This is great for my paintings, it&#8217;s what I want to achieve, but a little exercize in accuracy and measurement will probably make me a better painter. I&#8217;ll have more control over my inaccuracies! I learned this stuff years ago and I do still use the same techniques to a degree, but I haven&#8217;t actively and consciously used them since, oooooh, 1988?<\/p>\n<p>If I were to draw the green chair in perfect perspective, taking into account accurate representation on ratio and such, it would just look like a rendering of a chair. Because I&#8217;ve skewed things a bit, it (hopefully) has a more humanistic quality.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here&#8217;s yesterday&#8217;s sketch: One of my assigments for the drawing class is to keep a sketch diary and make one entry per day.
