Synopsis
Excerpt from Free Hand Drawing and Designing
The first thing to learn about freeahand drawimg is the correct method of looking at things. The eye must be trained to observe the size, shape and position of an object and its relation to the other objects around it. We must also be able to estimate distances and angles, not necessarily their correct values, but as they appear to our eye, which is usually out of proportion with the actual dimensions of the object. Before we learn to use the pencil we must therefore first learn to use our eyes and get the general habit of observation. It is a good plan to exercise in estimating sizes and distances of various simple objects such as tables, Win dows, books, wheels, etc. And then check these esti mates with the correct dimensions as found by the foot-rule. It is surprising how such simple exercises help to train the eye until the student can tell the size and distance of an object within a small fraction of the actual value.
