I dared to foreshorten! Or at least I tried. The 3/4 is not as foreshortened as I thought it would be… the proportions also seem a bit off, just like with the arrows from the previous assignment.
I'm late but done. Initially, I tried drawing the plane in box from my orthos but found I needed the reference. Also, I realized I should have gone with the simple airplane rather than the one with more angles.
I did one airplane based on the orthos from the video. Then since I was inspired by the geometric animals in the video, I wanted to try that with my dog. I think I made the head and torso a little more complicated than I should have, so each were pretty different to map out. I used tracings of them to put them together. I’ll have to keep working on it and fill out the rest of the body and try other poses.
I thought that for this exercise, I would challenge myself by trying out freehand drawing of the airplane in orthographic perspectives. To gain a clearer understanding of the ortho perspectives we have been learning, I searched for a reference photo to help me out. Additionally, as I drew each perspective in this, I decided to incorporate the arrows we had previously used to add a brain-thinking perspective and clarify the concepts. Hopefully, I did a decent job on these; as usual, it was a super fun assignment.
I drew the model plane from all four angles, focusing more oh orthos and axis. For me figuring out axis was not difficult but to draw the plane in foreshortened view was very challenging,. I left those for future assignment when I have more understanding of how to draw them accurately in proportion
I was amazed by this exercise. I thought drawing the plane would be almost impossible, but after doing the orthos, everything became so clear. There are still some areas and perspective navigation tricks to learn, but I'm happy with the results.
I'm really excited for the next lessons!
