The can of anchovies

Drawing a can of anchovies was another exercise in perspective and relative size. It was difficult to get the dimensions right, and having to include letters in the drawing made it easy to run out of room and brought home the reality that it is good to gauge relative distance.

Human ninja forms

OK, so I decided to press on with the human forms, because they were new and rewarding to draw. These are martial art type characters with bulky clothing and belts, which makes things a bit more forgiving on the artist to be honest.

There are some perspective problems with the size of the arms and legs. The book I am using suggests drawing triangles and other geometric lines you can measure to get a good idea of relative size. Otherwise, I don't think the figures are that bad, better than what I usually draw anyways.
