Here we are distilling the wisdom of this lesson into blobs. I experimented further with the blob approach, starting by dividing the blob shape into a black and white side to better understand its orientation. It's been fun trying to connect the perspective knowledge from earlier to this exercise!
I created some progress charts to illustrate my thought process—maybe they'll be helpful for you!
LESSON NOTES
What's in Premium?
In this lesson, you'll learn a practical approach to drawing in perspective by starting with simple shapes—blobs—instead of relying on vanishing points and rulers. You'll discover how to transform these blobs into forms by adding lines and corners. The lesson dives into how convex and concave curves create the illusion of depth, helping you train your perception and improve your drawing skills. By practicing these techniques, you'll advance in constructing three-dimensional objects confidently.

The blob approach simplifies drawing form by starting with loose shapes, building depth, and refining perspective.
Before I started this course I was frustrated that everyone seem to start with boxes. They don’t come naturally to me and I always prefer to start with organic shapes - the result has always been better for me. Imagine my delight hearing it's actually SMART to start with a blob! While listening, I tried applying this on a vehicle I'm not familiar at all with. I had to piece together several different images to make a plan and still, I see a lot of perspective weirdness and mistakes. For example, the placement of the wheels seems asymmetrical to the main part of the tank. At the end of the course, I will post my remake of this one and see how I have improved.
