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.

Here is some Imaginary boxes. Not always sure how to connect the boxes but I did my best to try to figure it out.

I'm actually quite happy with this. I have struggled with this for a while now and wasn't really satisfied. I understand the 4 steps in theory but executing is another thing. But this last week something just clicked in my head and suddenly it makes sense. It feels like I have gone from just doing the steps to actually understanding and connecting it with what I see in the reference, if that make sense? This is exciting because I can feel how I am improving, it also makes it more fun when drawing. When the head covers the neck and you don't really see it in the reference, for example picture 17. I don't know what to do with it.

It turns out I have no memory... I looked and tried to remember and notice things and then it was instantly gone. This was challenging and mentally exhausting at times. But it feels like a great exercise . The first two pictures are my first attempt. I did only part of the object because that was hard enough to remember. Didn't even try the blowtorch and meat grinder. They felt way to complex and intimidating. And also cylinders... did more practice on drawing them as well. Was needed. Then we have my second attempts and after a lot of struggle even the blowtorch and meat grinder. It felt really satisfying when I managed them. Also just being able to draw something in a different angle is really cool, it makes me realize I have improved.

More boxes! I sometimes struggle to fit the box to the blob but overall I think this was helpful. Good exercise.

Started freehand with some rough sketches, trying out different ideas and just experimenting. Then I moved on to try my new tools. My first try with the triangels felt really clumsy but after a while I got used to it and the it got wierdly satisfying. The time just flew by doing this. Also the t square is great, very handy. The first page is some shapes of my own and the second one is copies of optical illusions. The triangle really messed with my head. It’s also been great to see what everyone else been doing here.

I had fun with this. A bit of change from all the boxes lately and the cross contours really help to show the form. Making up blobs myself went easier than expected and the ginger roots went well as well. Doing the seal and fish was trickier, both making sure it looks right and showing the form is challenging. And thinking about shape and the gesture on top of that… a lot to keep in your head at the same time.
