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.

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.

It is fun :D
Tal Dratovsky
pretty fun hope I did well :)

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.
@dizzlebird
So I tried the assignment this morning and I think it was too hard for my current skill level. I think i should go back to the absolute basics and return to the course when i know more about perspective and form.

I disagree. Those look really good. You just need to continue practicing. I think you should continue with the course while practicing the fundamentals. You never master the fundamentals, you just keep honing them.
@laboogieart
This is definitely alot harder than it looks. Did this on the phone at work and saw these green guys, thought it was a good opportunity to draw em
@cslackdesign
This method was really fun to learn! I can see lots to improve on and lots of ways I can use this to commit more objects/shapes to memory.

So, I tried to push the perspective, but it keeps looking more 'tame' than I intended..

First assignment of the course, and it's already challenging! I am finding it hard to keep the proportions of the objects consistent while rotating them. Unsurprisingly, the more complex the object and the more extreme the perspective the harder it gets. Having just worked through Stan's intro to drawing with graphite and charcoal, ballpoint feels terrible! It's hard to get a consistent line weight, it keeps making blobs of ink on the page, and worst of all, there's no way to go back and rework a poorly placed line. ...although the last part makes it ideal for quick sketching, I guess. Can't waste time trying to rework one detail over and over; just have to keep moving forward!

I think that your sketch is good.

This wasn’t easy but I definitely learned a lot and really had to think with this assignment. I wasn’t sure how to do a cast shadow on the perspective from the bottom but this was a fun and challenging project!
Jay Nightshade
nice work! Love the perspective. I can tell you were really trying to push it.
Jay Nightshade
This was challenging but fun! They're not perfect but eh, that gives me something to work on. Also, the shading, no idea what I'm doing lol. Moving on!

I forgot to upload these, when I first did them, so I am handing them in, now. I started out being unfamiliar with three-point perspective, so my boxes are a bit off. Also, I will try more extreme angles in the future.
@beautyobserver
I need more practice on blending pen, ink, and being able to size the shapes better.

Just putting it here to mark my progress. Even tried it on a made up shape. I should practice add this to the warm ups.
Yu Rong Yao
Using boxes to draw objects from different perspectives has been a really enjoyable process. It made me more aware of my weaknesses in perspective, which motivates me to practice more and keep pushing myself.
Flávio Winston
I believe I understand the way of thinking, but it’s a matter of time and practice for my hands to follow my brain. It’s really interesting to think in terms of primitive forms, it makes it easier to draw without references. I did the first attempt with reference to understand the object, then I drew it from other angles without reference.
