Sorry for the ugly planes :') It was hard for me to do it completely freehand while keeping an eye on the proportions.. I need to practice more of this, while overcoming the frustration of not being able to do it as well as I would expect.

First I attached my zero point perspective drawing from the prior lesson. It was a drawing of the Proko skull I got as a christmas gift. Then I tilted it, used it as reference and tried to use structure to reproduce it. After some iterations I did the skulls without reference and used the skull only to control my work afterwards. Palpable progress 😍

More practice. A perfect drawing wasn’t the goal according to the assignment (phew), so I focused more on the box-subject thing. Worked mostly free handed. Gets tricky when want to get back to it after a break and you just got off the bike…

Had a horrible two weeks, which left me with only a few hours, mostly drained and disheartened. I thought I had time until the 22th, but I realized I was a day late. Oh well. At least I didn't give up! These were only a few of the oblique/3d drawings I attempted, and not the best, but they are the ones I feel had the most amount of mistakes to look at. So might as well upload those. They are also much more based on feeling than careful measuring (a trap I fell afterwards, as I felt my intuition was bad).

Two of the watercolor palette from the ortho views plus I followed along w/ the demo.

After following along the demos, I drew the plane model as if we're looking up at it from an extreme angle. The proportion seems to be off, and in the rough version with the construction lines, the box for the left wing looks wonky - even though I think its edges converge at the VPs. Is it because the VPs are too close?

Tried to do more in quantity rather than doing a polished one. So, the lines are all sloppy. I tried my best to maintain proportions and placements of different views. I added details so that I can practice drawing each of them in perspective and also be careful about getting their placement right. All are done freehand and by guessing the grid lines going to V.P.s that I have not exactly plotted out. I am the most unsure about the worm's eye view of the house. I have definitely made quite a few mistakes in that. Feel free to point it out if anything feels wrong to you guys.

Struggling to get this done on time while understanding it. I'm having some questions about approaching this; sorry in advance for this being a little long winded. I'll work on more proper drawings for this assignment and post them asap, but for now I did a small doodle of some of the problems I am facing while working on this. When trying to draw the object I chose from memory, I'm having a lot of issues concerning proportion and consistency. Not only that, but the biggest headache of this is that the object I chose is very round and full of curved edges; the trunk and handle also have an c and s curve gestures that are very hard to predict in other angles... The easiest part of the drawing if anything comes from the top part that is slightly more geometrical. All of these issues and trying to draw it from memory are giving me symptoms of analysis paralysis when working on drawing this object in different angles. I've always had issues with drawing dynamic angles for human bodies and keeping them in proportion for these same reasons... I tried thinking of 2 possible solutions for this: 1. I can split the object into smaller boxes and tackle the object in "parts"; this helps a lot more with proportion, though that does not solve the issue of calculating more rounded curves like the S curve of the elephant trunk or how how round the elephant itself should be in other angles. 2. I can carve the angles of the elephant, almost as if i were building a low polygon model in a retro video game. The same issues still apply but it's a bit more detail oriented. And proportion is not considered as well. Both have their own pros and cons, but I'm wondering what I can do to properly tackle a more rounded object like this. I didn't particularly make the connection in my head that the plane demos were a lot easier to follow since the were more geometric shapes, but I'm very curious how I can tackle more rounded objects in the future, or at least convert a more geometrical object into a more organic shape. Though if the issue I am having is something to be tackled in a later lesson, then maybe I might have been a little too ambitious with picking a more rounded shape for this assignment for now. Should I just continue to tackle this or just do a simpler object? It's never too late to do other objects that are more geometrical for now and work my way up to doing something with more complex curvatures like this.

The proportions on the bottom three look a little strange to me. I'm not sure if it's meant to look like that because of the extreme perspective, or I just did it wrong. I definitely wanna try doing this digitally with the templates in the future.

I did some more dog shapes inventing my own grids, although the head got a little funky looking almost straight ahead. Then I drew a drone that I did orthos for a while back and played with the grid lines to make buildings below.

I've been struggling with the grids. I focused on the box grids as I found they seemed to distort the boxes. I tried to use the grids to draw the 9 Basic Positions but all went to mush so I used the excellent image shown during the Tipped Arrows Critique as a reference. I drew the nine boxes out of perspective, and then altered them into perspective. There was a lot of erasing going on but I wonder if this can be drawn on a grid and which of the 12 grids would it be any other suggestions would be great, my freehand drawing is a touch messy, I'd like to understand how to make it look better proportion wise. It reminded me to

The object is playing card box, i use Graph paper. orthographic drawings is on 1st paper on top. The technique I use on 1st peper is connect lines with a point on Graph paper. On 2nd page i use The pre-existing line, then use a Perspective line. I number the drawing i did 1st.

The object is a hand sanitizer bottle. I did the orthographic drawings on top. I number each drawing i did 1st. Drawing 1& 2 i try 1st. I see that the proportions was not right. I think i did 3,4,5,6 right. I try Another view i think number 7 is not right, im not sure. I did another view, i number 8, i think i did not draw it good, i did #9, i think #9 is more better.

This was an interesting challenge. I've always struggled with grids but this time I felt more comfortable with them by not thinking about measuring. However I had a hard time working with the handle of the tool. I was always thrown of by the curve when I had to foreshorten it. Overall I really enjoyed this assignment.

These exercises were challenging, but enlightening! It took a few tries to eyeball the proportions of the box in the grid, and I posted the two strongest roughs. Also, I shared my reference image and my expanded orthographic study, as well as the two cannons I placed in grids. In the process, I realized that the orthos did not fully capture all of the nuances of the subject, and I checked my work by positioning the toy cannon to approximate the views of the grids and observing it. I came to appreciate Marshall's advice to trust my eye over the grid, especially for the last image of the cannon (above and right of the viewer), where it feels as though the upper part of the cannon should converge more to a third vanishing point above. Still, I'm thrilled with the results, and I'm excited to learn how to manipulate grids to create different effects, but, most importantly, I'm eager to learn how to spin and tilt the object believably in relation to a grid where other objects are positioned. I look forward to future lessons from Marshall and future submissions from the rest of the community! Thank you all, and wonderful work, everyone!

I usually feel like a grid somewhat restricts me. It makes me feel like I can only make the lines of the car follow the gridlines.  but this time I actually think I liked the result with the grid better. The angle that the car is viewed from might have had an impact, but I feel like it was nice that I always knew what general direction the lines had to go on the one with the grid.

This week is a strange one. It feels like the beginning of something new - and I’ve taken to (for the first time) drawing household objects like saucers and teapots and pans. But at the same time because there are lots of inaccuracies still, it’s like I can’t express properly this change outwards haha. But something does feel switched on. I really loved this assignment. Sorry for not using grids yet Marshall, I’m having a lot of fun freehanding it, but I will. :3

Beginning to feel the space as I draw and pleased to be getting there. I used red boxes and blobs for the final 3 drawings on the left and a grid for the group.

For the most lines, I did use the grid. But for one I invented my one invisible grid, to move the knife in the desired position. .

Mine is super boring. I just did the toy plane multiple times, those shown are only the "good ones". I don't know from a learning perspective if that was too repetitive, but I felt like I needed to train this one and kept on learning.
