When you re-create drawings or pictures do you use underlying structure or have you gotten good at just copying it without the bone works? I tried learning perspective drawing techniques but end up just winging it with the result being a heavily off proportioned scene. I will start taking into account what it is that I am trying to do before I start doing it from now on.
Yes, flowcharting gives the foundational structure to build from, then fill in the details.

When I recreate drawings I just do it without any underlying structure. I was getting together in an art group of friends before life got so busy. One drawing I was copying I made it bigger than the original.....so big I had to tape more paper at the bottom to finish it. Lol.....we all got a laugh out of that because we were ALWAYS supposed to keep it within the size of paper we started with. It turned out really good which was why I refused to start over

I found that starting with drawing boxes was a good way to start learning the angels of perspective. There are some good sites on the internet to learn more about it if you do a search on "how to draw perspective".

Yes, goal oriented thinking is key to successes. Though I didn't start off knowing what my goal in college was, I started off getting my AA in music then realizing I couldn't meet my goal of being totally independent with that. Changed my total major when I was a Junior. Got married, had our daughter while focusing on my goal of graduating with a degree & a career. Had to battle family wanting to change my goal but I knew what was right for me & held strong to my goal. Glad I did but it was a battle. Sometimes things our goals take a battle to achieve & it is usually worth it in the end......but keeping focus on the goal is the only way to get there
