I tried the plane. And I just don't really know how to get the Y axis correct. I think I can use the front view ortho for defining heights only in places where the picture plane is being touched. Well I simply don't understand so far how to locate the heights in complex forms. Here I just went with guessing and measuring and dividing it by eye balling…..

Cool, works, what a joy. Does the lowest point of the (here) rectangle need to touch the picture plane? I would say "no", but I am not sure. @Michael Longhurst: you did the anvil, WOW !!!! Great work! Hopefully I will dare to do so within the next days.

Of course my new friend Mr. Anvil wants to be included. I cheated a little, because I did practice drawing the anvil fast several times before I made it count. Great exercise, hope I will continue practicing it every now and then. I fount it especially good in training a) proportions and b) sticking to line systems.

the whole thing is far to elongated. Never mind, this exercise is great and I am learning a lot

I am struggling a lot with self-critique in this course (well, in life…) and I was already thinking about giving up here. Thinking I am not able to keep up with you all. Now this anvil got me back in the game. I think I have never seen one, but I guess mine looks like one ;-) The proportions are probably a little off, I fought terribly with all my line systems - but overall I was able to enjoy the process.

The last 4... I fought a lot, but I guess I got the main teaching point "looking up, lines go down and looking down, lines go up". I get caught a lot in comparisons unfortunately. Why are others able to make this thing aesthetically pleasing and I am not? So another learning point for me was to just concentrate on my training and progress. But the latter is a really difficult to get into my brain….

Not gonna lie, I set out to be between the 30-50 mark. And it was exhausting! But I believe in learning through repitition. Going there where it hurts and not avoiding the hard things. We don‘t progress in spite of hard things but because of them. Ok, enough cheese. anyway - I made always the first picture from reference and the one underneath is the perpective tilt. I think there are to examples where I made two tilts in one room.

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.
