As a geologist by profession, this assignment was close to my heart. Some great tips by Philip in there and this was a neat exercise for practicing forms, designing on the fly and making things look 3D….lots of little learning clicks as you just draw. These are my final efforts inked over pencil with lots of erased poor designs and dead ends….lost the construction unfortunately. Some discussion in the video and notes on cracks, how they originate and how they are distributed….I’ll have to bite my tongue and spare you the details but to be honest, expert knowledge of subject matter kind of gets in the way…you get distracted by non-visually meaningful logic busts that would only matter to another boffin 😂

LESSON NOTES

What's in Premium?

In this lesson, we'll transform basic shapes into dynamic rock formations by extruding forms in perspective. Building on previous work, you'll learn how to pull and expand shapes to create complex structures. We cover techniques like using contour lines to visualize how forms wrap and turn in space, and how to avoid tangents for clearer drawings. You'll explore bending, twisting, and distorting shapes to form organic structures, and add realistic details like cracks and splits. The lesson also emphasizes balancing areas of detail with areas of rest to enhance your compositions and develop your ability to think in 3D.

ASSIGNMENTS

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.

Deadline - submit by Mar 05, 2025 for a chance to be in the critique video!

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).
