This is a good one.

Followed the video. Great information. Never thought of it that way. did a couple. to make the technique clear in my head. hope it comes across clear on paper.

Some things clicked after this lesson - i) orthos are not just reference, you can use them as you draw to solve problems ii) building the box and scaffolding first is a very good idea before attempting curves iii) tracing paper is great for problem solving… As the penny dropped it gave confidence to try and solve a problem I’ve wondered about and tried to freehand intuitively with poor results; a hollow open canoe-like form in vertical perspective with a lot of foreshortening…so curves in perspective. Tried a simple oblique view first then tipped the canoe vertical for more extreme ~worms-eye view. Well, the results were a lot more successful than freehand intuition…! Also learned a pencil eraser works to remove ink on tracing paper. Useful stuff. 🤩

Excellent observations.

ah, I did much better than I expected :) Tried to do a bit of a curved perspective with the top one. Though I don't think it 100% worked, it was a good time none the less

Those came out looking good.

I tried to do the twists intuitively without drawing boxes but keeping the concept of a box rotating at the back of my mind. I first drew approximately a simpler version like a ribbon of negligible width and then added depth and tracked the depth throughout using x-ray vision. The colored dots are added as the last step to double check if the edges of the box (imaginary) align correctly throughout. I think I have made a few mistakes in proportion, regarding keeping the width steady and in perspective. It looks right to me but my eyes are not much trained, though.

Reminds me of the Obi Knot on a martial artist belt.

I am still in the failing stage and I will be here for a while ;). I found this resource from a Proko student which is the 3D grid model of the rectangle twisting. I thought it was a nice extra to share with the rest and see if you are like me, that I am still trying to wrap my head around this https://practicedrawingthis.com/3d/model-twisted-box.html

that model was excellent. Helped me visualize things a better.

it is, I only posted the last 2 tries before coming up with one. but there were a few extra when I got confused and went the wrong way.

Marshall, It was a complete surprise to discover my arrow used as an illustration in this lesson, and I have to admit I’m a bit flattered—haha! I didn’t give it much thought when I drew that arrow, and now that I’ve seen and tried to follow your lesson, I couldn’t resist taking on the challenge myself—this time more thoughtfully. I hope I passed; it’s a very difficult task but so rewarding to develop this technique "scientifically" and explore this "P.O.V."

those look excellent.

gave it a couple tries then came up with one or my own. Ben letting my lead dull out. I can do about half of what Marshall is using before hitting the lead sharpener. I will eventually make it work.

I am so impressed! You have invested your time for your own and our benefit. Thanks!

Your understanding of which corners lead to which corresponding corners on the next box is perfect!
Carlos Pérez
nice
