My kids bought me some cool mini figs for my birthday. Seemed like a fun subject for this assignment. A bit more challenging than i anticipated.

Here are simplified orthographic views of a train.
I reduced the design to basic forms and practiced drawing them from multiple angles.

1st attempt,
the proportions bamboozled me. I have no clue how to measure

Here are 2 attempts at freehanding a Formula 1 car model and a smartwatch. I foolishly went for the Formula 1 car first because Darth Maul had once said that 'pain is the greatest teacher'. It was indeed painful to see the multiple scratchy lines trying to look for the right curve flow while maintaining orthogonal consistency, so much so that I had to do it over 2 days.
The smartwatch was more tricky than I expected, especially since I had to physically hold it for the front and back views, and because the length of the straps meant either the strap end closer to me would defocus while the watch body would stay in focus, or vice versa.
Also, the F1 car was the right size to be a 1:1 model (it ended up being almost exactly the length of my pen), while figuring out proportions for the miniaturised smartwatch was more of a challenge.

Thought I was not going to make it. Found this little toy at the dollar store.
it looked pretty neat. so here is my Orthos.

I had a crazy busy week and when I finally found the time to do orthos, I managed to hurt my hand :(
This is all I have for now. I know the top view is a bit wobbly.
I hope to be able to do more later. This is so much harder then I thought it would be, but it's still a lot of fun to learn!

This took a bit of time and the proportions are not spot on but was quite satisfying to finish.

Marshall, thanks for another brilliant lesson.
Here is my first attempt drawing Orthographic Views of a Bird House.
I did it freehand and got the proportions out of whack !
I think the back view of the house should be above the front view.
Any feedback would be great.

hey Carlos, I like your drawings but feel like some might not be in orthographic view, such as the front, side and rear views of the French press. I think this is because I can see the top of your French press and the curve of its base whereas in an ortho view I think these would both just be flat lines. I think maybe looking at your object from much further away might help? for larger objects I personally find that I can't just draw what I see, but instead I have to observe, understand and then put that information down on paper like its a blueprint. I hope this is helpful!

This course addresses perfectly the issue I ran into the previous course's assignment (specifically the recessing/protruding in the front view). I really got confused back then but everything is crystal clear now. Now back to drawing orthos :) Thanks a lot Marshall!

the T square was useful for this. The drawings are by hand. 2 hb school pencil on printer paper I think I got the thickness wrong. Does anyone know what I can do better?

I am really starting to see the value of this the more I do it.
It Really let's you figure out proportions with less distractions.
Also I am seeing why boxes are so handy.
If you keep the rectangle around your othos you can project them into a box with the same proportions!
The box is your guide and everything that lines up in the orthos projects to the same vanishing points.
It's really neat and actually feels like I am building a process to draw anything.

Loving this assignment so far. But feel its pretty similar to the last one or am I missing something?

The first video was released as free content, whereas this video is a premium continuation of the first video. It has information that the first video did not have. Proko releases some of the videos for free as promotional material to get people to purchase the full courses. The free content on Proko YouTube is what attracted me to proko.com. Good job with your drawings. Cheers!
