I did not use a grid on this, Its a little off compared to Marshalls.😂I drew a race car the other day and played around with the shape of it by Tracing over the original. I thought it maybe be a little quicker when experimenting. I also attempted one of my Orthos that I avoided using during the course because it was so inconsistent. My other Orthos aren't very consistent either come to think of it. 😂

Tried to do my first 7, no angle change, just to get a quick feeling.
I will be moving to sketch and then angle change from here.
Tbh, it's the first time I look at the rest, and feel defeated. 7 years in, and it still looks bad.
Oh well
7 more years ahead. I hope.
Keep it simple concentrate on the major forms first and imagine what they would look like at a different angle. I didn't bother with trying to find the horizon and vanishing points I just used marshalls up and down rule.

Not the prettiest of sketches. Hopefully I understood the assignment lol.I used the beds to help me orientate the views.

Here's my shot-in-the-foot of a submission. I just had to pick a Formula 1 car for my orthos, didn't I? With all its fancy curves and swoops and scoops and diagonals and...ya, great thinking Ishaan.
No doubt making this was extremely challenging, and the results are really 'sketchy', no pun intended. The right front tyre looks to be further away from the nose cone than the left front which defies visual logic. A lot of sections were hidden away from view/not clearly defined inspite of the orthos. I also took care to not see the actual car model and relied entirely on only the orthos, so I had to 'make up' a few sections.
I'm not sure if I have it in me to make this from another angle but as Darth Maul once put it, 'pain is the greatest teacher'. Nevertheless, here's something to improve upon as this course progresses.
Hi @Ishaan Kumar , I'm having some issues with my ellipse. How did you go about doing them? I keep going over them but can't seem to get them right.

Thank you for the arrow and the thinking it creates, Marshall and blondie.
I used the ellipse cheat for the violins as I did not know how else to curve that middle area. It's awesome to know it's a well established way.

I'm watching a marshall video on a Friday at midnight. 🤣Must admit they are tough,but nothing worth doing is easy!

Hi Marshall,
I'm not good at explaining myself, but here it goes.Drawing inside the "box" does that mean you are literally drawing inside the box or is it that you are able to draw a box around the subject and it making sense and matching up with the vanishing point? The reason I ask this is because I find when I try planning my drawings out I struggle. But when I'm loose with my drawing my finished product comes out better. It's almost like I'm using a different part of my brain and I get into more of a flow state and don't see reference as it is, but in shapes. I break things down into small bite size pieces. I also find drawing organic shapes easier than mechanical like say a car or plane.I guess what I'm trying to say is planning for me isn't second nature.

This sounds like the curse of a blessing. When you have a gift for one kind of drawing, it can be hard to shift into the other kind. You see shapes – that's valuable; some people don't notice shapes. You like to flow rather than plan; that too has its value.
Learning perspective challenges those natural comforts. If you can take it on, and get some of the value of "the other side," great. If not, you're giving it a shot, and I hope it will do you good.
Regarding "inside the box" or "boxing around the subject," I hope I've given you some concrete examples with the two arrow demos that followed this.
The big lesson is that to navigate our "pretend 3D space," we need guidelines to point out directions. Carving in, or building out, or inventing around... those take a lot of work, but that work can't be done without something to carve into, build out from, or invent around.
Therefore, the box!
