Playing with some materials, I decided I wanted to try watercolor. I just got a bunch of this new paper and needed an excuse to practice on it. Drawing an object over and over from different view points gave me a brand new understanding of 3d form. I think I get it a little bit more after this. I can see the X, Y, and Z axis a little more clearly. Thanks for the awesome perspective course!

Some notes from the lesson and multiple attempts on the plane. I think I finally got the hang of it in my final 2 attempts but there is room for improvement. I also included this toy car I've been practicing from memory. Ellipses are difficult.

I struggled with maintaining proportions of the foreshortened views. Also, the hemisphere on top and the cone in the front are pure guesses. I don't know how to construct them in perspective.

I don't know how the tilt of a box affects the angles of the converging lines - anyway, the horizon line helped me while constructing the airplane.

I am not quite satisfied with the results but considering all that was going on outside of this course, I tried my best and shall be happy with that at least

Orthos to barrel rolls…not sure of my plane sound onomatopoeia….maybe should have been more of a ‘neeee-oaarrrrw’…not too important for the assignment I guess. Dared to foreshorten and ‘diminute’ or whatever the verb is for make smaller in perspective…diminish?

My attempts at the rhino and other objects, using the importance and lighting methods. I definitely struggled with over-pressing the pencil and with keeping my lines fluid and not hairy. The rhino-lighting one was interesting; I found it a bit difficult to keep the overall subject coherent with all those dark detail lines on the shadow side of the body.

if I did anything wrong I would appreciate any feedback! I feel as I understood the assignment, The front view (X, Y), side view (Z, Y) and top and bottom view (Z, X). The camera is longer but I end up making the X- axis more small. In the second attempt I tried to have more of better proportions but ended up making similar mistakes. I purposely simplified my camera so it can be easier to draw from memory, so I don’t have to deal with the small details. I sketched a few 3 quarter view away from home to integrate the image in my mind ✍️

I know, i cheated by not creating my own character but just trying the last exercise with my own images. The drawings are far from perfect but it was fun. Challenging for sure but it taught me to really think if i should use strait lines or curves ones. The final outcome varies a lot depending on that choice :)
