Mapping Reality with Angles and Lines September 11, 2008

I was reading a book that said that reality is all about lines and angles. It makes sense – get the lines the right length and at the right angle and straight away it starts to look like something that either does or could exist.
In a way drawing is a illusion since it attempts to convey a 3d or if you include time a 4d object in a 2d way.
So I’ve started to go back to basics -looking at my subjects as lines and angles – ignoring all the light and shading and that is helping me see that basics rather than all the detail.
The book. by the way is Star Signs by Linda Goodman, plenty of points to consider – then again isn’t a line only a point that is extended.
