Looks great for a first try!

Posting my level 1 submission, hooo boy was this tricky. I believe i understand the concept of cylinders in perspective, but the execution is definitely gonna take more practice. My ellipses are looking pretty ugly imo, both line quality and general shape of them. But it was a fun exercise! Im absolutely tackling the tank in level 2 soon
I think yours looks fine, actually. Cylinders and ellipses have definitely been a challenge for me too, but Stan's lessons have helped me understand them much better. I guess some of the curves for the ellipses look a little wobbly, but it's understandable since drawing curves can be difficult.

Here are some of the flat tones I applied for practice. Keeping consistent pressure was a bit of a challenge, but I think I'm well off with the basics.

Here are some of my practice sketches of the anvil, whistle, and wheelbarrow. The anvil was probably the most challenging to sketch accurately because it has many complex shapes and forms. However, I do think I did pretty well with sketching the whistle and wheelbarrow, since they had much simpler forms to remember.
I think I should probably practice sketching from memory a little more often. I've always been kinda dependent on reference photos for ideas, so I'd like to learn better how to craft objects from memory. If I'm not mistaken, some artists call that a visual library?

Yes, visual library is a great term because I think it helps take the mystery out of drawing from imagination. The best imaginative artists have a very robust catalog of imagery that they've developed through careful observation and drawing from life/reference. Drawing things from memory helps reinforce that imagery further and rotating the objects gives you a three dimensional understanding. It's truly a great exercise! Keep up the sketching :)

This was really challenging coming up with poses! I really struggled with the twisting form cus I think I get so lost in tryna connect the part to another
Oh yeah, twisting can be quite challenging! One thing I found that helped me with twisting a box is to try and visualize each of the corners of the lower square connecting to a new corner in the upper square. That way, you don't end up lost.

Level 1 from imagination. The hardest part of this exercise was visualising multiple poses that were actually possible for a human body. I tried to imagine myself doing my fitness and it was very helpful.
Level 2 from reference. Heeelp! After watching all videos I still can't comprehend how to show the twist, when a side plane is visible - poses 6 and 8 for example.
Yours look better than mine! By far the most challenging part for me is matching the deformations with realism. You don't want the box to look too stiff, but you also don't want it to be stretched to the point of losing its shape.

Gesture is definitely a more challenging subject for me. Combining perspective with various deformations can be difficult. I think I could use some more practice in this area.

I practiced both the doghouse and a church building for my project. My portrayal of the church building was actually inspired by a nightmare I have once of a church that came to life. It was a strange, alien creature with bizarre and haunting movements. To express this, I tried to make it look as strange and unsettling as possible.
I really like the twisty church, and interesting dream about the church coming to life. I can definitely feel like the church is moving just by looking at it lol :D

Here are my level 1 attempts. I tried to incorporate twisting, bloating, curving and leaning. Let me know what you guys think. 😅

Here are my practice sketches. I think I'm getting closer to understanding how to "intuit" perspective now. Seems like you don't necessarily need to plot vanishing points if you can picture lines converging in your mind.
