added comment inCritique - Blob to Box
Thanks for the critique, Stan!
Indeed, it was the first time I made this type of stuff from "imagination". As I suffer from aphantasia (a real condition! :D) I was never stepping out of my comfort zone and only drawing from observation, and unfortunately without a clue of what I was doing. I took this course exactly to learn how to draw freely and you gave me great approaches to start with, thanks again, can't wait for the next lessons!

Thanks for the demo, it definitely helped me to create more dynamic compositions than in my critique request.

My last minute assignment. It was pretty hard to imagine it completely without reference!
New ones after watching the demo, for sure it made this "sculpting" approach much clearer to me. And thanks @Gannon Beck for your kind words!

My antipathy for tanks is slightly smaller now. I find doing equal looking ellipses in one row as extra hard.

I'm super happy with the pipe's explanation. Talking about brain farts I've realized I knew that angle intersections thing while I was doing fingers in hands drawings, but this time I made it obviously wrong🫣. Did some sketches along watching the critique, can't wait for next lessons :)
Nice bottle and hex shape, what's it meant to be?
Me I've got a lot of practice in the pipeline.
Thanks for sharing your quick sketches.

For some reason I'm only seeing the thumbnail of the video (as a photo) and there's no play button for the video itself. Has anyone else had this issue? I've gotten the same error on mac, ipad & iphone.
It was driving me crazy for few hours as I like to watch with subtitles, I was clearing cookies etc and no luck, In any case you can download movie from downloads.

I tend to draw grids to guide me, but I've decided to try this more intuitive approach following demo. Not gonna lie, it was no fun, I like the outcome as a doodle at the end, but I got lost between all those lines several times... 🪢
I get lost with the lines as well lol, it’s super hard to do but the challenge is what keeps me excited. I think it’s just continued practice and maybe taking Marshall perspective course can deepen my knowledge

great work!
Nice drawing.
I like the wheel ellipses and perspective.
I like the idea of intuitive drawing.
I too find it hard keeping track of the lines.
II've been using too soft a pencil early on wnen drawing.
I think I'll lighten up and use a harder pencil although that might
score the paper if I'm not careful.

Stan, thanks for the intuitive Demo.
Yeah.
You mention 7 mins in that you didn't use a grid and refered to a previous lesson. Don't beat me up, please, but which lesson was that ?

Man, this was super hard to do! I did some separate cylinder studies. The tanks where drawn from imagination.
Hello, I've noticed that your left cylinder from separate cylinders is wrong because you started with the wrong box. Since a base for a perfect circle is a perfect square, when we look at it from that angle, it should create a vertical rectangle in perspective, not a horizontal one (that's what happens when we look from the top or bottom). Also, the inside rectangle was constructed wrong, what made the opposite effect of the rule that the further ellipse is always wider than the front one.
In a van - the further wheel should be narrower than the close one, that was explained in the X and X-ray tips :)

Honestly, I wouldn't say I like trucks so I made it with no love, will try later to add some ellipsis drawings on other objects as for sure I need to stop ignoring this shape's existence.
My biggest issue is that I'm not really sure where the major axis is inside a plane. I find it the easiest to construct them in boxes that are facing me, and then all the rules from the previous lessons are well applied but in a 2/3-point perspective I feel like I'm missing something....
