I thought that for this exercise, I would challenge myself by trying out freehand drawing of the airplane in orthographic perspectives. To gain a clearer understanding of the ortho perspectives we have been learning, I searched for a reference photo to help me out. Additionally, as I drew each perspective in this, I decided to incorporate the arrows we had previously used to add a brain-thinking perspective and clarify the concepts. Hopefully, I did a decent job on these; as usual, it was a super fun assignment.

This was a super fun straight to the point assignment. The one thing I must admit though, I noticed as I was drawing the arrows it was quite challenging on drawing them facing slanted directions but I think I achieved it though. I also noticed I might have not left a bit of room with the arrows with leaving enough spacing with them. I also personally thought to add in some fun directions in there like my curvature arrow on the bottom for good measures. This was a overall fun assignment and another good puzzle to conquer with the arrow direction. I might do a second page n post again tommorow with more fun directions on the arrows. One thing for sure though is when I got to the arrows when I got the top right etc spaces it kind of confused me a bit. hoping I did it right.

Finally found some time to tackle this assignment in peace. For this assignment, I decided to go the easy level and do the hexagon and stairs all freehanded. It was challenging for me to pinpoint the locations on the xyz coordinates on this one, I must admit. I also felt like taking snapshots of the objects I chose to accompany my explanation of how I tackled the assignment. Surprisingly, between the hexagon and the stairs, the hexagon presented the most challenge due to its curvature. Additionally, to assist me with the assignment, I reviewed the video multiple times and took notes on the left-hand side of the page, which proved helpful. I may have overcome this challenge, but I'm not entirely sure if I did it correctly. I would love some heavy, heavy critique on this, but overall, just as much as I love doing puzzle-type stuff, this assignment was right up my alley as well.

Thank you so much for taking the time to create this critique video, Marshall. I had a bit of a struggle drawing my chosen item, a simple console known as the Playdate, but it was an enjoyable challenge nonetheless. I'm going to start practicing more on this subject with different items.

This is a really good assignment that combines together a bunch of information learned in previous the lessons. Here’s how I might think about it if I were to do it-

I slowly reviewed the xyz labeling assignment over the past few days. I started with the Hexagon to start with something simple, then decided to challenge myself with the stairs, then the right angled shape, last the slope shape 2. I tested out with the hexagon at different angles to challenge my brain, and then I rewatched the segment on the labeling to get it implanted in my head well. Which I believe truly helped me out with this assignment. This one was quite fun, figuring out which sections of each item the labels were and where to mark them. It felt like a great fun medium-sized level puzzle, which I love, so I was so happy to solve this one. I think I actually learned quite a lot about xyz coordinates a little bit. But would still love some input and thoughts on this progress.

My reaction to this video can be summarized as:

This had to be one of the most fun assignments yet in the course. I spent practically most of my afternoon on this one. Coming up with fun, creative ideas from the prompts from both the video and the reference photo. The most fun part was coming up with the crazy ideas I had for this one from all the different prompts. I plan on doing more of these and will try to post them when I draw them out tomorrow. I am not quite sure if I ever got mine Right-Angled, though. It was very hard for me to figure that part out as I drew these. I also went mostly freehand on these and did some with my trusty handy ruler. I had no idea how many different ways we could create brand new stuff using these templates. It was such grand fun. It actually got me an idea from this assignment to work on my own minimalized puzzle game since I'm a self learning GameDev on the side. This was a complete blast. Hope anyone likes these. It also took me quite a while to figure out how to put the cubes and the front-facing cube in different positions. I love puzzles like these. I hope there's more in the future.

This assignment was quite fun to do! It definitely made me better at freehanding boxes of different sizes in 3D space.

I chose to only go with the 9 squares one because it seemed to be the most interesting to me in terms of creative possibilites. Freehanded all of them, the first ones with pencil sketches first and the last ones directly in ink, which forced me to be very aware of each stroke I put on the paper while I was thinking of the shapes in my head. This was definitely a great brain exercice, felt really like solving puzzles to me. Very enjoyable!
