Let’s draw a monster truck! In this level 1 demo, I’ll show you how I would approach drawing wheels on vehicles.

Hard! I feel like going ‘intuitive’ in the demo is not helpful. For a lot of people it would help clarify the theory if the measuring tools shown in the initial explanation had been used instead, especially for this first exercise. It’s a classic example of the instructor getting ahead of the students, which I find is one of the most glaring issues in almost all online classes that I’ve taken so far. Hope a little feedback is welcome!

This assignment was quite hard for me! I tried several times, but still I am struggling.

First image on the left is me attempting the demo while watching. The next image is my attempt after watching a demo using the reference. It took me 3 attempts to get a good idea how to complete this assignment. What worked well for me so far is 1. start with a rectangle box for the wheels. 2. separate the wheels with their own respective rectangular boxes, find ellipses, extend the ellipses out. 3. place body of car on top. I started with the wheels first because when I did the body I got confused with so many lines. It worked well for me so far, enough to complete 1 lol. My ellipses aren’t perfect and they are really hard to do lol. I hope this helps anyone struggling cause I’m struggling too lol. Any feedback welcome 🙏🏻

The video really helped! I see some improvement im gonna practice a lot more with it though.

Here are some post-video attempts. Still messy but, I think they’re better.

Love the vehicle choices and shifting the perspective from the originals!

My attempts after watching the demo. The tractor obviously needs work, but surprisingly, the truck doesn't seem too bad.

Super nice!!! 🚜

Another try -my fault was to think that all parts should have the same horizon, so now I eyeballed the back wheel and the rest and finished the drawing with Procreate. Maybe it is not correct (the back wheel shouldn't be that big) but I'm glad I finished this assignment at last.

Monstertruck wheels…. I did not see how to approach the construction of those fat wheel ellipses. There is something I still don’t see and I don’t know what - but I think I solved a little bit of the puzzle.

If the wheels are not turned then the minor axis lies along the axle. Stan did say this and used it throughout the video but it was something that I did not get at first and it was a huge "aha" moment for me so I wanted to make that explicit. Maybe someone else can learn from my many perspective struggles.

Ladytruck III. I spent the most time constructing this one so I think it’s a little better.

I’m still struggling but it’s getting clearer. Some of my wheel ellipses still seem wonky but I’m closer to getting the wheels in the right place. I have to send a shout out to Rachel Dawn Owen’s for help with that!!! Thanks again, Rachel.

This is getting a bit easier but I doubt I’ll get to level 2 any time soon. My big Q right now is how to determine the inside and outside of the wheels (without a reference.) I’m having trouble doing that intuitively.
Rachel Dawn Owens
These look really nice. I think you could go to level 2. To find the placement of the wheels more intuitively, you could use the shocks as a landmark. They are normally located somewhere behind the headlights. Since this is a big monster truck, the wheels are further out from the body, so I measured the shocks on the outside corners of the headlights. hope this helps. Everything else is looking great. The linework is clean and thoughtful.
