Charl Dec.9th 2011: Found it easier this way because I struggle with getting the symmetrical thing right. Sure one could draw using a computer but what would that profit one doing this art class?; Add your reply

ArcherSam Aug.19th 2011: I agree that Sighting is a faster method of drawing, but I think that this lesson is good for a beginner trying to grasp drawing in perspective. Also an engineers would use computer aided drafting to render this drawing. It would take an engineer forever to complete an drawing of an house with paper and pen. Ouch!; Add your reply

Jan Myrz Jun.1st 2011: I agree with ineke. If I was doing technical drawing it would be a different story, but we are just drawing; that's an interpretive individual thing.; Add your reply

ineke Oct.14th 2010: I think it takes a lot of time to draw this objects. When you look carefully to the objects you can draw them faster en better without the helping lines.; Add your reply
