Switch from blobs to grids; redraw your forms from orthos, focusing on foreshortening, and see how grids help you guess proportions and angles.
Previously, you used the blob method to capture form by guessing angles, ignoring proportions. Now, do the opposite: start with grid lines and estimate proportions. Grids guide but may feel limiting; they reveal spatial lines.
Your project: Redraw your forms in new positions using orthos, focusing on foreshortening. Guess proportions without measuring to sharpen perception; keep drawings loose and emphasize foreshortened planes. Get the FREE grid template downloads and share your work - proko.com/872
