Super cool to see Daniel work his magic. One thing that stands out to me is how he's able to nail lines wherever he wants them. It's inspiring to see him hit all those lines and he never rotates the page. I have huge deficits in line direction, in other words I can draw great lines in one direction but my lines get REALLY wavy if I go another, less practised direction.
After watching Daniel draw for an hour, I was inspired to draw something using the same technique. It's quite fun to see how much my use of perspective has improved since I began this course.
LESSON NOTES
What's in Premium?
Daniel Cherng walks you through drawing a sci-fi mobile habitat capsule from scratch. You will learn how to break down complex designs into simple squares and boxes to nail your proportions. Daniel demonstrates how to use orthographic projections to build a 3D object in perspective. He covers essential depth measuring techniques and shows how to handle wide-angle distortion when drawing objects up close. You will also see a practical approach to drawing inclined planes like stairs using anchor points instead of complicated vanishing traces. Finally, Daniel explains when to rely on strict perspective rules and when to trust your instincts to eyeball the details.

Proportion is hard to see when drawing complex objects.
Simplify your designs by breaking them down into basic squares. An orthographic projection helps you find the right perspective and depth without getting stuck on strict vanishing traces.
Seeing an expert lay down those lines is a work of art in itself.
I had an idea for an all terrane exploration vehicle with hydraulic legs which it could use to lower and rase its chassis depending on what it is driving over. I also added a retractable train like plow that could be used to cut through dense material. it has an "air" scoop on the top to keep the engine clear of deep water and most of its comms and sonar are in a box on the roof, it has a large detachable storage container high up on the back. It's part Jeep - part tractor, I thought it would be used by the military as a manned space rover.
So below is the STA (Space Transit Autos) Mk:1 Puddle Jumper, or colloquially a "froggie"

so the key is making the first square in perspective a real square! or everything will be of! the plane game is so useful for that!❤️
