Give it a try! Try and replicate the process Phil demonstrated.
Start varying it up and extruding in different directions.
Whether you are advanced or a beginner, do your best to add in the cracks and details. It is getting you sensitive to how details conform to forms and we will develop it more and more as we go through the course.
Okay, go draw rocks.

The second time pancakes were a lot more fun but I also lost track of time and just wanted to do more and more. In the end, I could have been more brave with my modifications, for example do some overhangs. I made sure to try my new Copics (I'm sorry rendering is so meditative).
It was a useful exercise but too time consuming in traditional, so I decided to go digital even with a drawing tablet without screen that I don't like to use
Not brilliant but better than the last one. I will keep playing with this. It is trying to picture what they look like and drawing them. My mind and hand do not seem to work together. Although I do go over in my head after and understand what I’ve done wrong.
Here's my submission for this exercise! It really got away from me - after hours of work, I decided to submit it as-is. I don't know if it's something, but it sure isn't nothing, so I'll just have to be happy with what I made!
As unfocused as the final product ended up being, I enjoyed the puzzle of putting the forms together, of choosing where faces and vertices should go to avoid tangents and to give the structures some kind of gesture. I'd like to do this again with a little more purpose, maybe using reference so I can get some experience drawing real locations and objects.
This one looks wild. Gives me Dr. Seuss vibes. The different colors is a nice touch. It separates the layers of structures and adds a bit more depth to the landscape.
I think you might be getting distracted by the geometry of the forms.
Consider the cross contour lines and how they might wrap around the forms. It might be easier if you soften the forms a little bit.
You can keep some straight lines. But maybe look for more curves next time.
Thanks for sharing. I really like this assignment.
I am racing through this course far too fast as I joined at the beginning of July and I am trying to catch up to live, but this course is amazing. This exercise has captured my imagination so here are a couple of simple attempts. Took a while to make the arches not look like perspective impossibilities!
This was harder than I thought it would but I tend to overthink things. One particular problem that slowed me Down was, what happens when you start below the horizon and end above it when the pancakes are stacked… I had fun though.
After a while I realized that I was kinda forming a path that a video game character could cross so I fully gave into that idea as I finished the assignment.
