CDA: Vis Comm 1 (Part 5)

drawing hard surfaces. it was incredibly frustrating at first because i love looking at these objects (tanks and cars and the like) but i couldn't draw them at all!! trying to draw ellipses without using a pencil or eraser is the surest way to feel like you're not worth a damn.
