Thought that I'm doing nicely, until I worked on the top-view and it reminded me how wrong I was. I'm eye-balling this so pretty sure there are sloppiness on the proportions here and there, but oh my, what a relief when it is finally over haha ha ha ha...

I freehanded a one of my wall plug-ins. The rounded corners from the front view had me confused if they were suppose to be rounded at all since it's a front view. I had tried to put it in 3/4 view using a ruler, but it became overwhelming very quickly with the measurements and points.

A freehand scotch tape dispenser. I wanted to work on some curves, and these turned out ok, but, need to do more to improve my line quality. It’s not where I want it to be…yet! I’ll get there.

My favourite thing about orthos is that we can use one/two other views to get measurements or reference points of another view - I find that useful and very convenient. I felt the charger was a good recap; however, I want to challenge myself for harder shapes in my next ortho. Hope that it's ok to resubmit my crane orthos, even though I've already posted it in the 'Objects and Environments' lesson (I used the Blob Approach to draw the three-quarter view). The crane orthos was probably more suited to this lesson. The boom was the most complicated part because of all the pendant pipes. Had lots of fun though!

Ortho's have been fun. I've been finding it less daunting to wing my proportions for my first ortho view and then use guide lines from that to make sure my next ortho views are consistent, as opposed to measuring the object first. has anyone had any luck with actually measuring their objects and then using those accurate measurements to plot out their ortho views? also, I am determined to figure out how to accurate drawn my alarm clock. I WILL PREVAIL... EVENTUALLY!!!

Tried on with more curves. This one was an interesting combination between flat shapes and details wrapping the shapes supporting the 3d form.

I did a tin watercolor palette freehand. I started doing it with instruments but realized I kind of need a T-square to make it work. I'm going to pick one up and give that another go.

Ran out of space😔

I found this gold dust this morning! I've just had a brief look but feel like it's related to the orthos assignment so will try and study it... Wanted to share in case any one else is into this kind of thing and hasn't found it yet! https://www.traditionalanimation.com/mickey-mouse-model-sheets/

I did the objects I did in the last assignment. They were all quite square so I also did a jug because i wanted to try something more rounded. I did the first ones with a ruler and t square and the jug I draw mostly freehand.

This really pushes your brain to be constantly aware of and measuring proportion. I can feel the gears turning in my brain. Next I would guess is translating the information here into a box distorted in perspective. Thinking about how things line up in different views really makes you aware of exactly where certain points are in 3-dimensional space in relation to each other. Working in a process that has multiple stages, refining as you go has me practicing a few skills I have neglected a little too much up until this point in my artistic career. Line quality I need to put some hours to practice with. Recently I’ve been slacking on that final stage of moving to a carefully execution and refinement. Maybe I should have chosen something boxier but I felt like I was challenging myself such an organic asymmetrical object, and went pretty well. It did take a little bit of time and a lot of taking measurements with my arm extended. First time using vellum. Quite fun. Will try some more soon, simpler ones though.

took a lot more concentration then I initially thought .

Freehanded the front, side, and top views of the toy plane. I have to say, these orthographic views are deceptively easy! It took me a good while to finish this. When I checked with a ruler later, some things didn’t quite line up. I think it’s because I failed to make the front view symmetrical at the start. Note to self: Mind the symmetry!

Skull study, because it is difficult 🤓. I was hoping to get a cleaner pencil drawing.

One of my dads onyx book ends. I always thought they were horses until this exercise and I could see the carving showing them to be zebras. Just shows what paying attention reveals. :)) This is my second submission as I had time for a bit more practice.

I feel I used to like Lego more.. before brilliant idea to draw it 😂 p.s. next time will use millimetre grid paper for it) [and will get a t square, now I deserve it😂]

I feel I messed up the 3D image a bit, but that wasn't part of the assingment 😉
