added comment inAssignment - How I tipped the Arrows
Asked for help
more arrows tipping and turning. felt like drawing a tank in a box too so scribbled on my page a bit more.
Asked for help
here are my boxes and arrows facing us directly, to the left and right, above and below, above and to the left and right, and below and to the left and right.

here are three pages of me getting the axis labeled. I struggled a lot more with trying to get my drawings to look right than I did with labelling the different axis, although the latter probably did help with the former!
Asked for help
So I decided to give this assignment another shot with a slightly more complex object, and man oh man I am really struggling this time around. I'm struggling heaps with figuring out how far out certain parts of the cat come out in different views. for example, using the front view I can get a good feel for the general silhouette of the object, and with the side view I feel like I can get most of the depth pretty accurately. but then I struggle so much figuring out which part along the objects width are deep vs shallow in the top and bottom views. if anyone has any advice for how I could improve please let me know, I'm stuck in struggle city and its peak hour.

Ohh so exciting! I get to be the first one to comment! 😂 Thank you for mentioning me Marshal and to the Proko team for choosing one of my visual wonderings as the cover...definitely will keep posting stuff with this melted pancake approach. I love the creative freedom it offers.
your work was so nice to see, I really liked your swirly and wavy shapes and forms!

Ortho's have been fun. I've been finding it less daunting to wing my proportions for my first ortho view and then use guide lines from that to make sure my next ortho views are consistent, as opposed to measuring the object first. has anyone had any luck with actually measuring their objects and then using those accurate measurements to plot out their ortho views? also, I am determined to figure out how to accurate drawn my alarm clock. I WILL PREVAIL... EVENTUALLY!!!
hey Carlos, I like your drawings but feel like some might not be in orthographic view, such as the front, side and rear views of the French press. I think this is because I can see the top of your French press and the curve of its base whereas in an ortho view I think these would both just be flat lines. I think maybe looking at your object from much further away might help? for larger objects I personally find that I can't just draw what I see, but instead I have to observe, understand and then put that information down on paper like its a blueprint. I hope this is helpful!

I started by writing my name which was nice and simple because I used the tools on my drawing app to help me draw lines that went directly to a vanishing point. I enjoyed my other more exploratory drawings a lot more though. It was fun trying to draw letters in different ways and extend them back to a vanishing point by eye. the effects ended up looking much cooler than I expected and definitely helped me get more comfortable with putting the back face of an object in perspective.

I got really into part two of the melted pancakes project. I ended up creating a dashed line brush so I could draw the back facing parts of my objects quicker. I also threw in some shading in the end to try and separate some of the forms.

Here are my melted pancakes! this was perhaps one of the most fun assignments to get into so far, and I think that may have been because of how easy it feels to just get started. I really enjoyed just layering on different shapes and extruding them. a lot of the time it really did feel like I was pretending to model things in blender.
