Thank you!! You can also use your phone with the screen switched off as a black mirror!

You know there were no smart phones when I learned this 🤣, Just never think of it, have half a dozen of them hanging around the studio and use them as needed. Good point for those just learning

Im complimenting you for responding to me.

[@channelseven8092]

Thank you this helps me a lot you explained it very well I get it now it clicks.

[@careyalvezartschool]

Great, It helped me a lot too and I had been drawing a long time before i found someone to teach me this, made a big difference. hope it helps you.

[@tyroneperry5008]

That was really helpful. I gotta learn how to remember how to use all those techniques. To unprogram my mind focusing on details too early and get the big shapes first.

[@careyalvezartschool]

I'm Glad it helped. Most people don't know the foundational structure that goes into creating a successful realistic drawing, Everyone wants to go to the finishing details FIRST. This it the way to do it, layer upon layer. Check out this video to see it more in depth: ua-cam.com/video/MRvXku_PNro/v-deo.htmlsi=vRArLKQqddYgsrps
best of luck

What is the rod you measuring called?

[@careyalvezartschool]

you can use a bamboo kitchen skewer (cheap, you can buy a package at the grocery store for a few dollars) or a knitting needle
