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?
LESSON NOTES

What's in Premium?

In this lesson, you'll learn how to embrace foreshortening using simple shapes like blocks and arrows. We'll start by understanding orthographic views to grasp object dimensions. You'll see how fitting complex forms into simple shapes simplifies foreshortening.

We'll cover techniques like drawing transparent forms, using scaffolding and extrusion, and connecting dots to complete foreshortened forms. You'll practice foreshortening on different axes, compare curved and blocky objects, and apply these concepts to anatomy.

We'll also explore dealing with diagonals and vectors in complex forms. By starting simple and gradually introducing complexities, you'll gain confidence in drawing three-dimensional objects with accurate foreshortening.

Never mind.... i think i get now

hi, sorry i still don't understand foreshorting or what am i supposed to do. My boxes feel wrong, i don't know what to do.

A couple of attempts over the end of last week and the weekend to create some ortho's and generate 3d images from them at a rotated angle. I started off quite strong then fluffed some of them when it got to complex. I think the bike is particularly fluffy, I could of spent more time breaking this down into boxes to make the wheels easier to draw. Plus i chose to offset the front wheel at a silly angle. The phone booth at the end I did a bit of perspective warping because I wanted you to see the phone and the antenna, which I suppose is not really the point of this work. I also know i should work on smoothing my lines buy ghosting like Peter Han demonstrated in an earlier video.

I dared to foreshorten but my proportions are completly wrong ! Too short or too long but before drawing it I didn't saw that the it will be that much altered. (I always started with a simple box)

With the big one, my biggest problem were the tail wing positioning (and the space, so the wings are a bit shorter than they should be)

Squeezed the plane a bit, but since we're only eyeballing proportion I guess it's alright. Also decided to freehand the orthos.

Really nice!

Plane practise. Orthos analyzed from the model. Perspective view from imagination and then the little sketch as well but without further construction.

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.
Nathan Black
That was fun, looking forward to more!

Quick ortho and intuitive sketch of the plane :D
Jacob Granillo
well done, and you dared to foreshorten 👀

more arrows tipping and turning. felt like drawing a tank in a box too so scribbled on my page a bit more.

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.

While drawing this I was in airplane mode. 🥸
