I keep marveling at how @Michael Hampton manages to end up with such beautifully legible construction drawings even though he goes through all of the stages, one on top of the other.
I tried doing each step on a separate level and dropping the opacity before moving to the next one, done in a different color but I'm still not too happy with the result. Are my lines too thick?
I realize I'm supposed to be practicing construction here, not line quality, but still ;)
I thought it would be also interesting to see each of the steps separate so I duplicated the layers and pasted them on the side. I think the perspective step is the clunkiest.
Any feedback would be super helpful!

Looks great, Maria! And, thank you. I think line quality can make a difference. I try separating the hard surfaces of the perspectives with straighter/sharper lines and anything soft or gestural with curves, generally drawn lighter and with more edge. This can develop a simple language that keeps areas of difference separate.
Might be worth a try but your studies look solid all the same.

A lot of mistakes. Nose should be more to the left. Lips are to big and in wrong position. Ear should be higher and a little bigger. Neck look weird.
This is a difficult angle, don't be too hard on yourself. You did a good job simplifying the shapes. I think if you dared to foreshorten her nose a little bit more, the tilt of her head would be more obvious. Why not give it another try?
This is really nice, clean drawing and your values seem very well organized and delineated. I just noticed that in couple of areas in the shadow there seem to be gradual transitions rather than the hard edges you maintain everywhere else, but it's minor.
Great work :)

Not sure how to accurately scale each side of the box when I put on the ortho sides...
OOOh, and something just clicked for me when looking at your assignment. I was admiring how well proportioned your plane looks in the 3/4 view (something I struggled with a lot) and then I noticed the orthos lightly sketched on all the sides of the box - duh!
Brilliant work :)

Started yesterday with the first image to get into the project and worked on the others today.
I still have to find the right paper for graphite and then hope to get more contrast in the drawing.
Will need to practice more for this assignment.

I had a lot of fun with this one, I'd love to come back and do more some time!
Such a clean drawing!
And it's amazing how from some views you can clearly tell what it is, while from others (bottom left) I'd really struggle without any context.

I decided to go a bit ambitious and try a real object which is reasonably irregular in shape and form, a replica of the third finger bones of a Utahraptor, from the Smithsonian. It looks a bit messy, especially in the bottom view. Holding it in the orthogonal positions proved to be a bit tedious. I'm certain I've made a mess of the oblique view as well.
I really like your drawing, you did orthos but with some shading and that gives the bones the dimensions that are usually lost in the straight-on view. Fineliner?

Crap. I'm late.. well I only managed to draw the boxes from memory so far, but I am definitely gonna study them as well as the arrows too. Just wanted to make something in time for the critique.
Anyway. I didn't use guidelines and reflecting on it, I should have.
Note: This is a good warm-up exercise as well for line precision if you add the points with crosses in the middle.
I kept staring at this trying to figure out what was wrong and turns out nothing is wrong, it's just that my mind was expecting all the forward facing planes to be white while in the bottom row it's the top facing planes ;)
Nice boxes!

500th Day of Proko and counting.
I'm too busy today to do anything special for it. Maybe that's kind of the point. There isn't any fanfare that comes with showing up--just the steady progress.
About five minute sketches. I may have spent a little more, but not much.
500?!?! No wonder these figures look so effortlessly dynamic and dimensional. Congrats!
