Most beginner guides are "look at what I know about drawing and you ought to but don't." I feel like this one falls into this category, but that's just my opinion. Sorry for the harsh words. The best drawing guide for ULTIMATE beginners is one that (1) lets them believe they can draw (2) lets them actually draw stuff (3) lets them draw NICE stuff such that they think "wow I can draw!" and become motivated to draw more. https://i.imgur.com/Ch2zqF7.png https://i.imgur.com/Ch2zqF7.png https://i.imgur.com/qOHOwK0.jpg https://i.imgur.com/qOHOwK0.jpg https://i.imgur.com/spGlWE5.jpg https://i.imgur.com/spGlWE5.jpg I made these three drawings upside down. This technique comes from "Drawing with the right side of the brain" and although the science is a bit dated you have one part of your brain (say the left side) that really enjoys naming things, recognizing things, putting things in boxes. This part of the brain causes people to draw eyes like an elipse with a circle in it while this is almost NEVER truly the case. On the other hand, there is the right side of the brain that does mathematics, is rational, etc. etc. This part of the brain is only concerned with shapes, lines, form, direction, etc. When you turn the reference upside down your left side of the brain shuts down (i.e. it doesn't make any sense anymore) and the only thing you see is lines, forms, directions, proportions. Drawing this way people, who think they can't draw, create really really beautiful drawings!
