Drawing wheels on vehicles is an excellent way to practice cylinders and reinforce what we've already learned.
Level 1
Draw a simple car, bus, RV, or truck focusing on the wheels.
- Add a spare tire on the front or back to practice cylinders in different orientations.
- Use photos for inspiration, not for direct copying.
- Draw your vehicle from a slightly different angle than your reference to practice perspective construction.
- Make vehicles toy-like, simplifying details and focusing on perspective.
- Start with the side view silhouette in 3-point perspective, then extrude it.
- Construct wheels by approximating square planes and drawing ellipses within. Give them thickness!
- Experiment with the same vehicle from multiple angles or different types of vehicles.
Level 2
Include at least one tank in your drawings to practice cylinders along all three axes.
- Tanks should primarily be constructed out of boxes and cylinders.
- Add simple details like headlights, a window, or more guns for enhancement.
- Use the X method to ensure consistent wheel sizes.
General Tips
- Keep lines light and clean in early stages to avoid messiness.
- Apply "X-ray vision goggles" to visualize and construct internal parts.
- Remember the techniques for constructing cylinders inside boxes.
- Review previous lessons if necessary to refresh on the concepts.
Deadline: Submit by 03/28/2024 for a chance to be in the critique video!
Cylinders are really hard for me. Every time I think, I finally figured it out, the next one really sucks..
My brain is not connecting the dots - it seems a lot hard to make a box into a car than I thought it would be. Time to go watch the demo...
The horizontal circle was broken, but the vertical circle was better than I expected, so I'll try again after the demo!
Nice. I couldn’t quite understand what you were saying, but if you’re saying that the tank wheels look a bit off, then I would agree. Not trying to make you feel bad. This is a really great attempt.
After watching the demo level 1, I drew this tank. First time for everything ;-)
During the demo I found out that putting the major axis is more intuitive than measurable (in this course), so that helped a bit. Then I focused on getting all sides of the ellipse equal and by thinking about that I think I could put the axis better in place. I was actually surprised that with all the excercises (including warm-ups) I could make this relatively quick (not half a day but under 1 hour). So practice pays off!
Level 1 assignments.
The hardest thing is knowing where to put that major axis. I've read that also in the comments, so I hope that watching the level 1 demo will help me out. After that, I will start level 2, so I hopefully will know better how to do this right.
Christmass Eve perfect time for another perspective project! But boy oh boy It was tough.
i`ve been in this for looong, tryed some diffferents cars to challeng myself
i would love some advice
Level1 - I found this is the most challenging project. I used reference images but tried to draw without them as much as I could. I'll try different angles before drawing the tank!
Glad that I finally submitted this assignment. This concept was the hardest to wrap my head around so far. At first I attempted to tackle the vehicle by placing it into a two point perspective, with VP's. It helped a little, at least in terms of allowing me to see where the squares for the cylinders might be going towards. However, even though I knew that the minor angle was the "axle" and the major angle is opposite that, I still found it hard to get the right proportion for the cylinder itself. Even if I knew that it would be wider closer to me, it still wasn't coming out. I felt this more so in my back wheel, if you take a look at my drawing. I would appreciate any help, or feed back. Cylinders in perspective is harder than I thought, so any help is welcome.

Wow! This looks amazing!
Great tank drawing!!

Wow. These wheels look great!
I hate to post right above Pamela D's beautiful tank, but alas... I tried. I made efforts using the method Stan showed in previous video (except for that 5th tire, front passenger--complete guesswork). I have posted some pics to show the progress to final pic since I wanted to erase some of the lines to make it look more clean. Any feedback on how to improve is much welcome.
