added comment inProject - Blob to Box

Asked for help
Watched the tutorial and wasn't quite sure if I understood this correctly. Want to know if I'm on the right path.
Truth be told I've done these box people exercises a few times and drawing the blob is more unintuitive than jumping straight to the box for me. Did I misunderstand the tutorial? Am I entirely wrong? or is it more of a comfort thing?
Sorry for the overlapping forms, I rushed this and miscalculated how much space I had.

Dude your box is so gesture, the line control while maintaining the perspective... damn

It may be a bit weird for my brain, but I found your drawing has so much charm for the thick dark line and the boxes seem fine to me

Same as other, still cannot believe it s only half of the course. For this project, I am not sure what the purpose is initially. I assume it's getting into organic shape but in perspective. I drew 2 robots and 1 bulky man. Drawing the blobs is kind of useful, but maybe a bit counterintuitive. It s still fun doing these especially after I read Andrew Loomis's Fun with Pencil. It opens a whole new world for me to draw from memory/imagination, instead of rigidly focusing on drawing purely from reference.

thx for the critique. The cars are just happy-accident, it is not my intention to draw with extreme convergence as it is usually easier to freehand it. I am trying to draw an almost parallel line for the initial box. Glad it looks good. The critique is useful as always and now I kind of know how the perspective of ellipse works. But the weird thing is that I keep drawing the ellipse as stan taught and the ellipse kind of reversely tells me my square in perspective is off. Is it reasonable to do such reverse engineering?
Excuse me Mr. Teacher .. didn't you tell us to make it in 3 point perspective? Also ... why do I feel like the proportions of your boxes are a bit ... wonky? ^^

drawing elipses is so difficult really trying hard to get it in one go but always have to refine it. Would love some one to help me out on how the angle of an elipse should be in various perspectives. also I try to use multiple pics to understand the form better.
But drawing cars is so fun, so I guess it evens out, lol

3rd : the pelvis bucket drew 3 days ago
I have watched the critique video as i am struggling to draw from imagination and realize i did not understand the video fully.
Question: its the bucket, I only drew the cylinder that tapers to the bottom, have no idea what the squeezing thing Stan talked about is. i understand how to draw a cylinder big shoutout to Jesper, although the execution may not seem that way.
Could someone please help me with that? Coz it seems pretty important to understand the form of the pelvis before jumping into other parts. And if you spot any issues, please let me know

After the critique, I tried to redraw some of the fingers while giving more thought on drawing boxes instead of hand. 'treating each finger as a box that has its own seperate vanishing points' is what I took away from the last lesson. how the form rotate and its relation with lines convergence n change to a more confident mindset are what I learnt from this lesson. Thx a lot. Now I am kind of brainwashing myself to stay confident and committed to each line I draw
btw I think we should have more lessons similar to the last one, so that we can listen when we draw.

hi guys, this is my try on the assignment, not sure if I simplify the form enough, kind of treating it as an exercise for my drawing basics course that is now focusing on perspective. Hope I apply them well here. Not sure the form intersection with other forms, like sphere and cylinder is right or not. Would love to hear your feedback. Btw I found my paper has smudges when I erase my marks, any advice on that would also be appreciated. Now I'm just trying not to erase as much as possible : (

i am also pretty new to drawing, but I would say focus on drawing male first as they are more angular so that you wont shift your focus to curve. I get it. Girls are pretty, n for the same reason, they are too pretty to draw until you get good at drawing male. Your assignment work seems good, it seems like the angle of the face it s a bit too straight, remember to check it with procreate or other free apps. Where did you place your reference, it seems like you may look at it from an angle? try to put it side by side at first, i find it more helpful to draw accurately

Thx for the demo, i now know why i dun like my assignment. They are way too intuitive and focus on the hands instead of boxes. The reasoning process is great, n I believe i need to start drawing in a more analytical manner. ellipse, its ellipse, another part to struggle : )

This is my level 2 , dun even know should I do it or not, coz I didn't do well in lvl 1, but I love the challenge. Would love to know what is your approach in doing lvl2, mine is just imagining first and sketching the big palm box til I find the closest to my imagined box. For the finger I just keep in mind abt the X thing. Just in the loop of being discouraged and encouraged...

level 1 heading to level 2. I found my classmates have this spatial awareness to leave the knuckles empty, and I did not do it... Woooo, it s a journey. I also recently watched some of the Scoot Robertson's old videos about line weight, hope I applied them well.

Thx Stan now I know how to draw the X man lol Heading to draw creeper. It scared me all the time when i m playing minecraft

Here is my assignment in these 3 days, day 1 tried to do it without watching the demo, but compared to my day 2 and 3 they are really bad so not showed here, day 2 watched the demo (the last 2 pic) last pic = draw along , not sure wt the mass around the wrist is for the middle pic. day3 watched the critique, tried to treat every mass a box, not sure if it looks good in other eyes, even tried with exaggeration, but it seems bad, would love some critique. Thx for previous friendly advice on drawing ovals but still cannot freehand it ... Could you give me some advice on my drawings? Thank you very much

I suggest you to first open the reference photo (open as original) then you can cross-check with tab instead of scrolling through the pics backand forth

I found myself tilting my head if the poses were tilting. and this always leads to wrong decision of lines' angle. Does anyone have the same problem as me? Also drawing itself is so funnnnnn, i wish i am capable of continuing this passion and drawing different types of stuff when I m getting old

I think if i use the moodboard it would be easier for people to critique, all of them are in the same placement as my drawing. Any advice would be much appreciated, such as form understanding, shape design, line weight, etc.

here is my landmark assignments i found the scapula and the landmarks on the knees are difficult to spot although stan explained it in the assignment demo. Would love some guidance on that. i see some classmate's work included lots of muscle and some simply are just skeletons. i guess my method is more similar to stan's, just get the gesture down first then try to add the landmark as details. The 1st pic is the cleanest gesture that I am now capable of doing, most of them are just messy. Could you please give me some advice on finding landmarks and overall gesture drawing? Thank you

my first attempt start with something simpler a 3/4 view. when I get more familiar with the method I ll try some extreme angle n this is really fun. The 3 d form of the nose confused me not sure wt it is a box or a box plus 2 triangular boxes? I might try both of them see how it ll go. Can’t wait to see Stan demo n my classmates work. I used Procreate to do the study, but when I eyeball from the photo proportions always need some adjustment. Oh also not sure about where the eye socket should start from ie the inward plane sorry for my broken English

These are the heads that i drew. i mainly focus on extreme angles coz i think these are the most difficult to understand the perspective. If you have time to review these, please critique. Thank you very much

try to redo the assignment after relearning the course about gesture n the bean. Been studying in the basic course for a while. Try to see my improvement but I still find myself confused in simplifying the form in some animals like the horse the panther n the cat in certain pose like the first pic top one. I guess it’s because things re getting forshortened? Forms are hidden? Any advice are very much welcome
