Figure 01
I tried to get the basics of this perspective from a photo, Phil suggested I scrap this and try to let go, do blocky and fluid like this:
Figure 02
This is his example
So I had a go
Figure 03
I don't like it as it is too similar to last year's project, so I will try some more sketches
Hey Nat, not sure which Phil said 'scrap it', but I think there's a difference between 'understanding' perspective through various technical exercises and methods, and then applying that understanding in a more painterly way - I think you need to do both, but I just want you to take a more relaxed, less obsessive 'can't see the wood for the trees' approach to making work, because I think your perfectionism is actually cramping your overall style... I happen to love that greyscale image, because it's so suggestive as opposed to dogmatic. Have fun with this, Nat - let something unexpected and intuitive happen.
