added comment inAssignment - What is Zero Point Perspective?!
Asked for help
This really pushes your brain to be constantly aware of and measuring proportion. I can feel the gears turning in my brain. Next I would guess is translating the information here into a box distorted in perspective. Thinking about how things line up in different views really makes you aware of exactly where certain points are in 3-dimensional space in relation to each other.
Working in a process that has multiple stages, refining as you go has me practicing a few skills I have neglected a little too much up until this point in my artistic career. Line quality I need to put some hours to practice with. Recently I’ve been slacking on that final stage of moving to a carefully execution and refinement.
Maybe I should have chosen something boxier but I felt like I was challenging myself such an organic asymmetrical object, and went pretty well. It did take a little bit of time and a lot of taking measurements with my arm extended.
First time using vellum. Quite fun. Will try some more soon, simpler ones though.

I love the way you layout your sketchbook pages. These are some really nice studies. Looks like you got a lot out of this exercise.
