Damn, this is a fun but difficult project. I notice that if I try to connect two dots from a huge distance, the line tends to curve so the angles don't align properly most of the time. I also tend to draw lines in parallel with each other when the difference in the angles is small. I also somehow decided to extrude the Ikea Kallax inward, which made me feel stupid when I noticed. I will make more of these, so any feedback is much appreciated! :)

I did the same thing with a door on one of mine that you did with the Kallax. Its easy to get twisted up on this stuff. Its easy once you have the first correct line down but its also easy to not put that line down correctly if that makes sense.
Looks awesome though. I especially like peaking into the other room on the left. Really nice.

Been looking forward to this chapter! Finished my midterms and now will focus on this chapter :)
Here is my warm up! :D

Awesome mileage! Don't be shy with extending the lines receding towards the vanishing point even further past the cube itself to help guide you in this warm-up. It helps train and correct your eye/hand when placing the receding edges, and it's especially helpful as you place cubes further and further from the vanishing point.

Loved this assignment! I dont know why but I find perspective extremely fun. I appreciate that Stan always adds just a little spice to each challenge to force me out of my comfort zone. So I tried to take that attitude and run with it.
I had a few misteps but I learned from each mistake. I still cant quite get a bed to look right but thats okay haha. I know my lines are still a little rough but Im pretty happy. The fact that some of these projects end up with something that even slightly resembles what you're drawing feels really rewarding.
Would love any feedback!

Im just getting over a sickness and wow I never realized how much strength it takes to accurately put lines down. As Im getting stronger my stuff is looking better but those first few days were shocking to say the least.
This is another challenging but fun project. Stan said something that Ive been thinking about a lot about how its hard to be confident when you're starting out but you should try to be anyways. Im taking that to heart and I think its helping improve some of my lines. Im also trying not to stress when it doesnt work out. I just try to log what went wrong and do it differently next time.
Any feedback appreciated good or bad! I hope Im on the right track here.

I love these exercises and will definitely do more of them... In the next round I want to focus even more on the rhythms of the figure - so that maybe I can really get the feeling for the movement. Any feedback is very welcome:-)

I am once again shocked and bewildered to find that the process of trial and error involves... error...
The seals exercise was already a struggle because the idea of capturing the energy in the drawing rather than the contour/proper proportions is so foreign to my brain, so this project was super hard.
I think overall it took me 3 weeks to wrap this project up—that's including a long break that was needed after burning out. After attempting and "failing" at the first few poses, I really was in the slumps and needed a mental break. I did some drawings here and there but nothing related to this course.
Overall—I feel a lot better. I don't think I particularly "improved," but by pose #24, my output was much quicker and I felt more comfortable, even if the drawings themselves are not any better.
Shoutouts to @Melanie Scearce for the words of encouragement—I needed that one push to get around this project.
Onwards!
I know exactly how you feel and am stoked you fought through it. I think your stuff looks great and your line quality especially is really pleasing to look at. Keep it up!

This was fun! I hope I was able to convey the gesture correctly. Let me know what you think I did right and more importantly what I did wrong.
