Way behind and haven't drawn in a while, but finally sat down and did this today - the ginger seemed harder in a way. Really think working on this exercise a lot will help me. will be trying this a bunch, but, if anyone has suggestions or critique I could work on I'd be very grateful!

haha, consider myself chastised. thanks Stan.

The last little bit I'm interested in maybe hearing more about - I found doing my blobs that in order to get the boxes to actually work in perspective I'd always have to cut off a lot more of the blob than I expected initially - I guess my question is what degree is that an expectation (a blob and a box aren't 1-1, there's going to be some gaps on either side) vs. a miss (the blob exists, the box exists, but don't have enough to do with each other to be meaningful). Since it's a tool/exercise I'm sure the answer is 'it depends' on whether there's utility gained here, but... A broad way of thinking about it at least?

Levels 1 and 2 - Challenging one, but I think this has helped me get boxes (a little, slowly) down way more. Definitely still getting tricked into doing weird weird things by the blob, if you follow it too closely, your box is way off. Feel like if anything for level two, there are just better blobs to start with in the first place - maybe that's just the proportions (way off there sorry, will work on it) not sure.

Had fun doing this, and I think it turned out pretty well. I probably should have eaten before I re-lined it, I kinda made everything more wobbly, but you can at least see what I was going for in some of the messy areas. I think the firetruck was probably harder than a tank. Oops. I do think, more relevantly, the cylinders are the weakest part. I get how to find the minor axis, but not the major, and not how those two things inform the initial ellipse. Will keep practicing, maybe do a tank for a little break XD

Thanks for the Cylinder and Ellipses tutorial. I realise the explanation is eyeballing ellipses and not precision. I've watched it several times, but miss the point how you established the Major Axis and it's offset from the centre. When I look at the completed drawing, I'm left uncertain of the Major Axis reference points, which when joined define the Major axis.

Here's a level 2 submission - flipping hand 3 around. Definitely the angles are a little off (especially index I think) and it's more boxy/cartoony overall than actual proportions, but - as far as the boxes go, I'd definitely love any critique you've got

Far behind bc I've been moving - Here's level 1. I think hand 1 is quite a bit better than the other two, and I plan on practicing this a bit more - if anyone has suggestions/advice/critique, I'd be very grateful. Thanks!

Numbers 1 & 2 - this is stuff I really need to work on quite a bit (among others) so I'll be taking it slow and working through these. For head #1, I was definitely doing the 'follow the contours of the head, not the box in perspective' thing. Tried to fix that for #2, but applying the perspective is dang confusing of course XD. Not sure I quite got it right, but my final correction (in blue) seems like it was getting there. Will be back tomorrow with at least two, if you have any recommendations I'd love them. Thanks!

Couple of poses - I think it was ~ 5 minutes for the first two, ~25 for the second. Unfortunately was fairly distracted, and also messy today. Still, had fun - really have enjoyed these prompts, and honestly would love if there was a daily/weekly prompt here all the time (no freebies/streams/prizes, that's fine!)
