Hi :). I drew a few from imagination and a few using reference. I was wondering if I pushed things a bit too far in some cases. For example, I'm not sure it was accurate to show a bit of the top plane in number 3. What do you think? Thank you!
Melanie Scearce
The overall shape of #3 the way you have it looks great, but I think the other corner of the top plane would make more sense to show if at all. It's so close to being flat it could go either way in my opinion. Overall really good stuff @sosoph!

Hi :). I enjoyed that this project made us think about many concepts explored throughout the course (line quality, shape design, drawing form imagination, etc.) I liked how drawing cross-contours made me think in 3D. For me, one of the biggest challenges was using cross-contours to show foreshortening and how the forms are turning in space.

Hi :). I used pictures from the Rhythm Project as inspo. Determining the orientation and dimensions of each box is challenging.
@sosoph
Hi :). Trying to apply all the concepts was overwhelming, but I'm happy because it made me think a lot.

I love the car one!

Hi :). Here are my projects (in order: hand 1 lvl 1, hand 1 lvl 2, hand 2 lvl 1, hand 3 lvl 1 and hand 3 lvl 2). Manipulating the boxes in 3D space proved to be a challenge (especially for level 2). It was fun. :)
Melanie Scearce
Nicely done @sosoph!
@sosoph
Hi :). That was challenging, but it helped me understand my drawings in 3D space. I think doing more would really benefit me.

Hi :). I stumbled across a cosplay photo of Toji Fushiguro (from Jujutsu Kaisen) that I thought looked super cool, so I decided to draw it over the weekend! I focused on creating distinct value blocks (lighter tones for the pants, midtones with highlights for the skin, and darker tones for the hair and t-shirt). I also tried to study the forearms and hands. I increased the contrast in these areas to better distinguish the small structures I noticed. Over the past few months, I've been consistent with my goal of doing one "finished" drawing each weekend, and it’s really helped me make progress. (Drawing is so hard haha :')) I've been loving the Drawing Basics course. I'm learning a lot! If you have any feedback (especially about organizing values or forearm/hand anatomy), I’d really appreciate it! :)

Hi :). This was hard. I drew the table on the wall and projected it so it could appear in the center of the stage. I think the table legs are off, but I do not understand why. Thanks!
Melanie Scearce
Hello! The best way to center two objects is to find the mid point of each and match them. You can do that by drawing diagonal lines from both corners. Since the stairs cut into the box, you may want to move the table forwards on the midline to give it a bit more space, but finding that midpoint will be helpful even in that case. The placement of the table legs looks overall good to me. Right leg is just a touch too long. Overall great job :)

Hi :). This was my first attempt at drawing with perspective. I found working without a ruler challenging. I also found it tricky to figure out the size of objects and how to foreshorten them properly. Next time, I think it would help to sketch out a little room layout first before diving into the perspective drawing. Right now, the layout of my drawing feels kind of random haha.
