Here is my swing at this exercise. The first thing I noticed was feeling unsure about making parallel lines converge and to what extent. This was especially the case for the dead above and below angles. The second was how difficult it became to maintain volumetric consistency within the same set of angles. Invariably edge lengths and angles would shorten or lengthen and this would be the case with thicknesses as well. But I'm sure that with the right level of 'Marshalling', Mr Vandruff will make a soldier out of me yet 😉.

Here are my arrows. It was difficult placing the back of the arrow head, especially the outer sides.

Here are some of my Labeling for Spacial Understanding attempts. I found this tricky, I'm not 100% sure I'm getting it, Any feedback would be great, thanks for the lesson. :)

Here is my submission for xyz framework for drawing in 3D and Spatial understanding. I feel I am understanding the xyz axis by drawing free hand. I have trouble when it comes to proportion, and drawing it accurately. I can picture the box around the object in my head but to draw it on paper accurately is where I struggle. I took hexagon and steps for my assignment. after looking at so many other students work I feel I will attempt these again. Will try some suggestions by other students, which might be helpful.

I had one major doubt while doing this assignment. While I enjoyed figuring out how to construct some of the complicated objects like the hexagon and the airplane wings moving in all directions, I was confused about the labelling of the axes. I do understand the importance of knowing the height, width and depth of a certain object and assigning a name to it and thus increasing our spatial awareness but I do not understand why that labelling needs to remain fixed even if the object tumbles. For example, in the first image, what if I see no. 4 first, then the height and width changes. Then, what is the point of fixing the axes to the object? Rather can't we fix the axes to the space and define the height, width and depth of the object with respect to it? This becomes more confusing with the hexagon as all sides are similar. Once rotated, it is impossible to know which side was what. If we can label the sides with respect to an axes fixed to the ground, it becomes much easier. However, I did the rest of the assignment as instructed (by assuming that the height, width and depth remains fixed to the object and not to space) lest I miss the point of this assignment altogether.

I slowly reviewed the xyz labeling assignment over the past few days. I started with the Hexagon to start with something simple, then decided to challenge myself with the stairs, then the right angled shape, last the slope shape 2. I tested out with the hexagon at different angles to challenge my brain, and then I rewatched the segment on the labeling to get it implanted in my head well. Which I believe truly helped me out with this assignment. This one was quite fun, figuring out which sections of each item the labels were and where to mark them. It felt like a great fun medium-sized level puzzle, which I love, so I was so happy to solve this one. I think I actually learned quite a lot about xyz coordinates a little bit. But would still love some input and thoughts on this progress.

My second take on the assignment. This time I rough it and build it from a box first. As you can see in the first one the back plane doesn't really match well the front, on the other two I think I did better by starting from the back planes to the visible front, also I kind of have this problem of not been good in cleaning up my drawings in physical media. Any advice to improve on both these aspects? Also this my be a little late to ask this far in the course, but how would you recommend to get the best out of these lessons as I learn to fall in love with drawing for fun and not just work? I think I'll put the next batch on the other video.

Got the room with the turning table done. I could not for the life of me figure how to do it in graph paper. when it doubt lay down some perspective lines.

Still working on the Ortho Puzzles, but here are some of my basic XYZ boxes. Any feedback would be great. Thanks :)

Saw my completion drop to 78% and I will not have it, Marshall. A couple hours later, some ignored demand from the wife, and here it is. I'm still having trouble labeling the slants/slopes so feel free to help me out there.
