This was a tough one, but rewarding. I feel like I learned a lot about the thought process of some of the artists I admire.
Sorry if my scribbles and explanations make the artwork hard to see. I felt that trying to highlight the examples in each picture would give me a better understanding than by just explaining it.

Peter Han's exercises certainly helped with this one. I still find that certain angles like 60, 75, and 120 degrees are pretty uncomfortable on a display tablet, but they were a lot easier after trying Peter's practice techniques.

I guess the cylinder/torus? thing isn't technically isometric, but I wanted to try the "flip the converging lines" concept to a different shape, and it still seemed to make a similar illusion.
I also tried this design I kept seeing that I can only call ambiguous overlap since it creates an illusion of two different facing shapes that share a plane in the middle.

Hi, Stephen here. I've just picked up drawing again this year at 30 years old for my own enjoyment after having not drawn since middle school.
I'm glad to have found this course because after a few attempts drawing mannequins in accurate perspective it became obvious to me that the theory behind rotating subjects on the canvas is not so easy.
My big picture goals are that I'd love to be able to
1. draw wide or extreme angle environments so I can ideate on imaginary worlds
2. rotate and place multiple characters in a composition with accurate perspective from imagination
3. know the rules for curvilinear perspective well enough to break them if I decide to direct the gaze towards graphic designs or to put greater emphasis on the characters.
The artists I chose to take inspiration from and study are Kentaro Miura, Sungmoo Heo, Paul Madonna, and Takehiko Inoue.
Kentaro had extraordinary detail for enormous scale views in the worlds he created. I'd like to be able to understand some of his thought process by learning perspective in depth.
Sungmoo's artworks have a certain style and charm that I admire. After seeing that he could intuitively rotate character mannequins in his head with ease, I thought to myself, "I need to learn to how to do that".
