Well i have just had the largest setback I think il ever have. My computer almost literally died after i, quote "spent 3 years running it to death" Im currently trying to retrieve my programmes and although I backup all of my work on a monthly basis a back up was actually due when it broke. So I am also having someone try to retrieve my work as well, because anyone who has had max crash on them will tell you alot can happen in three minutes alot more can happen in a month.
There are upsides to this incident however, its become obvious I have been neglecting drawing which is a bad move so I have been sketching anything and everything.
Recently I was told about an amazing designer Feng Zhu by a good friend of mine. In this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aDNhFLcsgh8 Feng Zhu explains the usual types of drawing techniques (drawing from eye, grid etc) and a fourth thinking of objects in 3d space. This video has been revolutionary to me and even in such a short space of time i have seen a vast improvement in my work, instead of just mindlessly drawing without a second thought I can now visualize the shapes and forms of the objects i draw.
This technique i suspect will help with perspective, posing of characters and the weight behind a characters clothing and movement.
