I tried the 'Change Angle' game again and found it quite cumbersome to rotate the hammer at more extreme angles. Unlike other 3D programs, you can't easily set a rotation point. For me, it’s been most helpful to get the proportions right from the side views and then choose a unit to approximate the other proportions.

A useful trick for shifting a curve parallel in perspective: I also know a method for mirroring a curve in perspective. It requires some detailed construction, but I’ve found it helpful.

I'm reviewing what I know about perspective, trying to consolidate it onto a few pages. In preparation for this course, it's a challenge to fit everything in. Do you have any recommendations for resources to study perspective while I wait? This presale period feels like an eternity!

I’ve begun collecting my own references, but I’m struggling to find one with a light, saturated violet/blue image. Thinking about color in this way is fascinating, particularly when positioning them on the value spectrum and evaluating the overall saturation of the image.

I wish these episodes had come sooner. I did some warm-up studies and redid this exercise. I also applied some deformations from the earlier exercises. Additionally, I reviewed how to construct a perfect ellipse and added the process below. I realized I had always used the wrong intersection point when constructing it in detail. I've highlighted the correct blue intersection points here.

Here, I started the Level 2 assignment. I definitely need to complete another one for this level. I’m beginning to understand what’s required to tackle the challenging parts.

Honestly, I’m in a dry spell and trying to get back into the groove of the course. I applied wireframe thinking by tracing a face and recreating the lighting with low-poly plane orientations.

I love hanging out with both of you by listening to more episodes and drawing on the side. Thanks for the enjoyable and interesting podcast!

I began by analyzing the wheelbarrow’s structure and familiarizing myself with the model. I used the trapezoidal front shape as one measurement unit and a different unit for the width of the wood plank. Next, I set aside my analysis sketch and drew a new one from memory. I then verified the structure by rotating the reference to a similar angle. I discovered that the proportions of the box-like area and the handle were incorrect, and the front wheel angle was off. Although I recalled most parts of the wheelbarrow, I noticed that the 3D model’s front and back wooden parts were not properly connected with nails, which would make the wheelbarrow structurally unsound. Analyzing the structure was enjoyable, and I plan to create additional sketches to better understand proportions and details.
