This really is like doing a puzzle. And it took way longer than I thought, the time just flew by doing this. I was I bit unsure about how to interpreted the orthos. Like is the line you see in the ortho only the visible ones or do you see trough it? I went with that you see trough it because that seams to be the case in the examples for this assignment. But then that introduces a new problem which I noticed in the last one I did (down in the right corner). I don't know how to indicate the carved out parts because the lines that would indicate them share lines with other parts... although I realize now that I probably should have erased the outer lines in the top view where the carved out bits are... which mean the object I did is not actually represented by the first ortho, which was the goal... Although lets say I would have put a floating box under each carved out part than the ortho would be okay and actually be representing this object and then the problem is still there, how to you indicate the carved out parts? I'm not sure if I make sense with this. I had a lot of thoughts while doing this but actually putting it down in writing and make sense of them is not that easy.

Three more orthos.

I did the objects I did in the last assignment. They were all quite square so I also did a jug because i wanted to try something more rounded. I did the first ones with a ruler and t square and the jug I draw mostly freehand.

I was not that motivated for this one. Just writing my name did not feel that exciting to me and I have done some one point perspective drawings before so just doing letters felt too easy. It was not! It required a lot of thinking to get right and it turns out letters are quite good to use because you automatically get a variety of different shapes to practice with. Anyway here is my name where I used a ruler and then 20 freehand sketches.

This assignment is done. I'm slowly improving. You can actually see it when looking back at my first submission (first picture but with added proportion lines) and comparing it to this one. That feels nice. Some of these I feel confused about, for example 14. My feeling is she looking down and we looking slightly down at her but when looking at the relationship between brow and ear I would say we slightly looking up at her? And another thing I feel unsure about is the ones where you looking up just slightly. Should I indicate that tilt in the jaw, even if you don't actually see it in the reference?

Planes!!

My level 1 attempt.

I don’t feel that confident about this but I used the value tool to check myself and it seems like I am doing alright.

I did try a few different objects and I think it is going well. I can do them in different angles. The basic course has been a good preparation for this. But I have no idea how to keep the same proportions… So I did keep the proportions in mind but I did’t worry too much about it. My main focus was just to keep drawing and becoming more comfortable drawing objects in 3d space. Making sense of how the legs of the little table connected with its shelf and drawer took a while but I think I did managed to understand it better in the end. I enjoy this and will keep working on it with more objects. Probably should try to draw a bit bigger tho. Looking forward to the upcoming lessons.
