Here's my Steve follow-along sketch that I did as well as other sketches. After drawing the Steve by following along with Proko, I decided to practice a bit more of the X and X-ray technique by applying it to a subject I like :D . That being Valorant; specifically some of their gun designs. After Steve are the aforementioned Valorant-esque firearms, and the last object is a suppressor. I wanted to get some more mileage on these techniques and I made it fun for me by applying it to something I like. I took it a step further and played around with trying to figure out how to create more unique shapes from a cube (Oh boy and that was moderately difficult!). That can be seen from some of the small sketches I would have to the side, which was me basically trying to wrap my brain around the problem. I hope I'm able to inspire others to realize they can enjoy and even look forward towards practicing certain techniques in drawing by applying it to subjects they like. Have a great day to whoever reads this! :)

This reminded me of a mobile game that has awesome blocky characters: Flipping Legend. I've made some screenshots and GIFs to show the character selection screen with turnarounds. Might be a cool level 2 challenge? BTW I had to speed up the GIFs to stay under 1MB

I did a Minecraft Panda. 😎

This actually reminds me of the box character, Danbo! Also, I “cheated”. Used Procreate drawing perspective assist feature for this. Just wanted to enjoy and have a little fun after finishing a project that fried my brain! 😬

A bit too far to the left but a very fun exercise!

Showdown Man vs chicken. Fun little distraction! Clever tricks. Went with putting a few ruler vanishing lines in as a guide but then freehanding the straights as I know they can be off/wobbly. Seeing improvements with the daily line drills so that's the main thing, even if not there yet. (Verticals are off just because the picture was taken on a slant!) Plus my son was happy with this one!

Here is my attempt at a slightly different angle.

Got a 2 weeks break because of a bad flu, now I am back and this is a good warm up exercise

Challenging!

This was pretty fun, and surprisingly, annoying! I actually had to restart drawing Steve on a different page because initially my own starting lines were so out of shape that it was difficult to get even 3 of them line up. So I resorted to doing the first 4-5 lines with a ruler so that I have a decent base, and THEN switched to doing therest of the lines free-hand. I know ideally I should be drawing all the lines myself, but I understood why I was failing, so I hope that little "boost" is fine.

For the Minecraft camel it was a bit sketchy as the top of the head was on the horizon line. It through me off. Fun exercise overall. Thanks :)

The X method cleared up a lot of uncertainties when it came to finding the exact midpoint of a rectangular plane; up until now I have been guessing/eyeballing for the most part, and the drawings ended up looking often very wonky. Well, they’re still wonky, but I feel a lot more sure and precise about where I’m placing things in 3D space. Using this method made me feel like an architect designing a building!

Little attempt at this, proportion off but it was fun

Tested myself with a different angle and more extreme perspective.

My Steve looks like it slept only 3 hours xd The X method is actually witchcraft!! OMG, I never heard of it before and being able to split a cube so quickly without a ruler is crazy.

Nice!

I... am Steve.

Here is my sketch following along with the video.

I'll have to try drawing a villager next - that's the most popular Minecraft character in my house. I also cheated a used a ruler a bit for the grid on the head. Even still, I messed up the spacing on a few - the eye on the right is too big.
