My first heads before watching the critiques. I tend to struggle in more extreme poses and tend to rely on what I see (i.e., going for the details) instead of trying to keep it simple and focus on the structure and 4-step process. I am also showing the failures as I approached it as an empirical process (trial and errors). Even when it was obvisouly wrong I wanted to finish the head to see what exactly went wrong. I will watch the critiques and to the second half. I will also try to clean up the line quality. In the meantime, any comments or feedback welcome. PS: I thought it would be way easier than what I experiences so far x)

These are my attempt after watching the demo and after looking at the critics. After receiving a feedback from the community (thanks again) I tried to do 50 more while focusing on the angles of my centreline and cross contour (I.e., to ensure that the bean actually looks like a “round” form).  Any comments or feedback welcome. In the meantime, onto the next lesson !

My second attempt at level 1 after watching the demo and doing the boxes I did not do before watching the demo. I tried to follow Stan's technique, ensure that my lines were converging and the appropriate planes were showing. This is such a fun exercise. As usual, any comments or feedback welcome. Onto level 2 !

The first 12 box in level 1 before seing the demo. I tried to find the three axis before building the boxes, but after watching the demo, I realised that because of it I barely used any convergence on some of the boxes, and my lines ended up being a bit too parallel. Now, like Stan did, I am trying to find that starting point of the "Y" on the face and ensure that my boxes are truly in 2 point perspective. I also realised that I was doing some 3pt perspective on some of them when I got distracted by the V shape of the face. I struggled a bit when the face did not really fit a classic box (like number 12 where you can see both side planes of the face). Finally, on some of them I tried a few versions when I was not satisfied and made a few notes to myself, so it's not the cleanest pages I guess. Anyway, any comments or feedback welcome.

Some 2-point perspective box fun and pen fun ! Any comments or feedback welcome.

I tried to stack a few books on a desk while varying the vanishing points and trying to plot some estimates when the vanishing point was outside of the paper. It was also fun to use a pencil ! Any comments or feedback welcome

Inspire by one of the critiqued drawings, I did one last before moving on to the next lesson. It was actually harder than expected, as I struggled with the planes "coherence".

After watching all the videos, and doing a few I tried one last "room" but ended spending way too much time on it and then playing around with black ink. Then, I realised that some of it (the side planes on the right actually introduced a new vanishing point.. Time to move on to the next lesson. In the meantime, any comments or feedback is welcome :)) PS: keeping clean lines with non erasable ink is a nightmare

These were my two “Casino” attempts after watching the demo. It is obviously loosely inspired by what Stan did, as I wanted to try the concepts of projecting the same box in perspective with the x technique. I then ended up playing around with the size. I also wanted to plat around with the POV, to see how a more drastic vanishing point would affect and distort the boxes. Inking in the end is always a work in progress, it is stressful to not be able to erase, I had to improvise to hide some massive f* ups x) I will watch the critiques, do two more attempts and finally move on. Any comments or feedback welcome.

These are my attempt after watching the demo and before looking at the critics. For some of them, I tried variations of different poses to try to nail it down and understand what was happening (with various levels of success lol ). I now know I need to focus on cleaning my lines, taking a bit more time to analyse the pose before placing my shapes to avoid trying to find them on the paper. I will also try to exaggerate the poses a bit. In the meantime, any comments or feedback welcome :)
