I don't really know of any good drawing books, I get pretty much all my info from youtube.
The most general advice I have, especially for complicated reflections, is to just look at things in reality and try to copy them from least to most complicated details(start with large blocks of approximate color, then refine them with smaller blocks, until you work all the way to complete detail). It's actually way easier to just buy a weird curved mirror than it is to find references, and moving it around is way more intuitive than a static image.
If you know 3d modelling you could maybe simulate it with a computer, but high quality ray traced reflections take a long time to render so the physical mirror might still be a better idea. You'd also need some way of verifying your render as correct, which means you'd need a reference or a physical mirror anyway...

Nah they suck, I can't reemulate it. At least since I am mostly a memory drawing artist all my live. I d say books are not perfect either, but reading and understanding works since academies and even militarys read.
Your advice is welcome, but they are really bad, especially if you can't show me what's going on in science or logic after doing so much lifes.

The whole foundation of art is copying from life. If you can't do that you're not going to get much progress. You don't need or want a 100% perfect replication, but you need to understand how to do it and how to properly observe a subject.
If you want to get into mirrors and reflections there's really no other choice, doing it in your head is basically impossible. And even if it was possible, you'd have to get a lot of experience with the real deal to build the right intuition.
Drawing from memory really isn't any different than drawing from life, you're just using your third eye instead of your other two, the experience is basically the same, only harder since your mind can wander and a bowl of fruit can't.

>Understand
You understand it then. Show the schematics. Otherwise I assume you have not done so yourself. As for the whole foundation , I wonder, most books helps themselves with underdrawing. I say this one is Missing that, or under-calculated, for rhyme's sake.
>Mirror reflection
Maybe I know this one but adding it just because I thought you d like the motivation but this has backfired. Or maybe 4chan is just that big of a dickbag to put anywhere but the front pages.
>Build intuition
Id say I have enough it's just that the explanation s aren't complete. That's all. I suppose asking one for one is also complicated business to double check, but between two hobbyist I d say you just need to do more than just, praising your own finding.
>Third eye
That's, just crazy naming. Please be more focused.

>complaining about the third eye
It's a perfectly reasonable explanation, also I mean look where you're posting.
If you want more information or explanations or examples I've got nothing, I'm only slightly interested in art, I mostly just draw diagrams and mix colors. I like mirrors and reflective surfaces and have a lot of them, but don't really draw them much. I'm more interested in the effects of colored light, so you can take my posts encouraging you to get a physical mirror to look at from that angle.

>Complain
>Calls it complain
>Where I post
No, how do you write then? Or absorb writing? Do you just see it? Or practice your eyeball to move in particular way? Clearly sensible things are rewarded sensibly too.
>Interested
>Mix
Oh you said slight. The rest of 4chan too I guess.
>Effects of light
>Effects
Are you sure you are even interested? In art? Clearly picture making just bores you alot.

Okay maybe you are interested, but asking me to try it out myself, you sure seem to haven't collected your interest yourself. I could be bothered, but my thread is more focused on, many more things. You need to, maybe discuss mine first to completion.

I'm saying the third eye is a perfectly cromulent expression. It's not crazy at all.
Also I'm not entirely sure what you want. I think it's translated poorly, it's very hard to read.
Also also this isn't 4chan.

>Poorly
Good books. I want books.
Or are you maybe dyslexic about books and such or, schizophrenic? It's thrown around alot in 4chan.
Also i'm not sure the third eye is common expression either in my years of reading and communicating. If you actually study art or maybe, graphics. Cheers.

It may not be a common expression where you're from but it is here.
And I'm telling you I don't read art books and put little to no stock in them.
All I've ever done is just copy what I see.

Well then maybe you should take the advice and try harder.

>>57256 #
I'm not that interested in art though.
