Level 1 hands ready
Axel Gyllenstierna
Nicely done! I especially like the bottom right one. The knuckles are chunky and lovely. Gives a good weight to it.

Level 1 and 2 for each hand. The imagining part was hard but fun! The close-up angles were interesting. Feedback appreciated!
Melanie Scearce
Wow, these are so dynamic. Well done 👍 The only thing I would point out is the knuckles on the second to last one seeming to float above the box of the palm, but other than that the orientation of your boxes looks great.

What happens when an isometric box enters the world of perspective, surprised boxes staring in a circle! (It is difficult to arrange boxes in a shared direction...)
Aubrey Hannah
Wow! Skilled AND humorous use of perspective! Heh heh.

First time post. Been drawing for about two years and I figured it was about time I take advantage of Proko. Did some warmups with materials on hand. The triangle at the bottom is referenced from an “Jump All but One” game from Cracker Barrel. Excited to see where the course takes me!

Welcome!

I like the end result of this sketch, but I will have to learn to have more fun with the approach. I had taken numerous measurements to get accurate primary, secondary, and tertiary shapes, however it is rather mind-dumbing haha. With more practice I presume it will become physically and mentally easier to develop these proportional framework sketches.
Axel Gyllenstierna
Well done, looks pretty much spot on when doing the overlay! I think you're gonna enjoy the perspective chapter. Combining these methods for measuring with perspective portrait drawing (as is one of the projects) helped speed up the process a lot!

Nicely done, you really nailed the atmospheric depth!

Level 2 - critique very welcome: Before watching the demo I put the heads INTO the boxes. To me, that did not make it easier. Watching how Stan used the box shapes helped a tonne! By putting anatomical landmarks into perspective and defining (to the best of my ability) the major planes of the head I was quite happy with the outcome. Great exercise to practice controlling line weight and drawing the eye (which feels like a magic ability not having thought of it before starting this course!). Included both pre- and post-demo tries.

the most complex was №1, 3, 17.

Nice line weight, I enjoy looking at these!

Level 1: As with previous perspective assignments - harder than expected! Especially imagining the bottom plane of the head. It helped starting with the "edge" closest to me and drawing the largest visible plane first.
Melanie Scearce
That's a great way to approach this assignment. It gives you a good frame of reference for the positioning of the box. Nice work here!

Had a go with ballpoint, trying to clean up my line weight. Not overly happy with the result, but it was good practice! Being right handed, I have a tendency make my perspective drawings lopsided. I compensated for that in the photo, but I really should turn the sketch more while drawing.

Should you though? I've heard that turning the sketch is not a good habit to have. Pulling this off with a ballpoint though - well done!
