Tips for Better Boxing Glove Drawings
- Find the object’s basic solids first (box, cylinder, sphere) and get their proportions right before any detail — detail on wrong proportions is wasted work.
- A contact shadow grounds everything: a soft dark pool where the object meets the surface is the difference between sitting and floating.
