I'm working on the cranial mass so I tried it from a few angles. I have no idea how to shade it though lol.

can Someone critique my work pls I feel like the only problem is that some of the boxes might not be in the right perspective

Couldn’t find my actual assignment only these quick attempts at a lamp and phone stand

Some mistakes but it’s also encouraging to see the object reads well even if a bit wonky

To day I've done attempts but some perspectives are so hard, especially how dimensioned the space, but it was a good exercise, i´ll be more attempts.

This subject matter was harder than anticipated. I wasn't sure how to simplify the sides on the back. Also it feels nice (and hard!) to draw traditionally again
Rembert Montald
Hey, these are great. Love that you're laying out your perspective grids, it pays off in your rendering!

It's very difficult but a very helpful exercise, i'll be doing whenever I can :D I hope my chicken scratchiness goes away...

You wouldn’t guess I am doing art for 15 years, always had difficulty with perspective 😅
Rembert Montald
Hey, thanks for posting! Yeah, perspective is a lot. So, I'd like to see you using more perspective grids in the future in your initial sketches. As of right now, some of your forms seem a bit wobbly and not symmetrical. Remember to simplify all your forms in the initial sketching stage as well. The objects you chose are also a bit complex, I'd start with less complex forms so as to not get lost in the details.

Can we resubmit in the future? Mostly I want to post so I don't keep putting this off. Better to have something than nothing at all. Please ignore the drawing of the person, I wasn't drawing on a clean piece of paper lol. The little monster truck I have might I might have not simplified it enough and got caught in the details rather than braking it down into larger basic shapes. The gator head was fun. Going to try some different objects in the future.
Kristian Nee
Great job, and totally! I'll get Rembert to do a more in-depth critique at some point
@mushiboyhann
I now learnt, It's much easier to draw the subject within the perspective cube👍

My attempt at this exercice. Definitely need to work much more on perspective as I struggled a bit with that part. But the goal of the exercice being to study and memorize the object itself, I think it was a helpful technique to analyze inanimate objects.
Kristian Nee
Great work!!

Attempted to draw my Wacom pen. Definitely gonna need to improve my ellipse and box skills. Luckily, I am taking the drawing basics course alongside this, so hopefully it will happen organically.

I dont have a very careful hand on these
Devon Smith
Really rough and done quickly so the quality was poor but I think I still captured the idea. I really wanted to get something done and posted before I went to bed. im going to do another pass tomorrow with a different object and more time. this was a good project. I feel like if I continue to do these practices I’ll improve so much.

I found this exercise pretty hard, but also realised how useful it can be! Perspective has always been my weak point, and I'm specifically working on improving it. I knew that moving an item around in space using imagination would be hard. This assignment also showed me how much I return to chicken scratch lines when I'm unsure - and when I'm correcting, I always go back to just laying in thicker and thicker lines, which screws up my line weight and shadows. This has been pretty humbling, but a great benchmark to start the course! As well as basic perspective, I've identified I need to work on values and line confidence more.
Patryk Makosz
It is fun :D
Tal Dratovsky
pretty fun hope I did well :)
Umberto Sincovich
I found this exercise quite challenging, even though I chose a very simple object. It made me realize how much I still need to work on understanding forms in space. Any feedback is very welcome!
Rachel Dawn Owens
This is a great start. Perspective is hard. One thing that may simplify things for you would be to flatten out the from and back planes. If you can draw that pentagon shape on a flat square in perspective, you can draw the whole thing. Good stuff. Hope this draw-over helps.
Derrick Evans
This was tough and fun, it’s strange how I felt lost at some points and then just sort of let go. It got messy, but I learned a lot.
