Hi, Here’s my attempt. It's a very enjoyable and enriching exercise. I plan to practice regularly. I know I could have paid more attention to the proportions. 😊

Proportions will get better. You did this assignment the right way, and if you enjoyed it, keep at it regularly and we'll add little challenges in the coming months that will bring out your eye for proportion.

The author of the works: Syd Mead. 1. Diminution: 4/5. I feel that in some places, the cars could be smaller or larger. Convergence: 5/5. Perfect. Foreshortening: 4/5. It's beautifully visible in the spot where the cars are turning. Overlap: 5/5. Perfect. Atmosphere: 4/5. I would give it 5/5, but the billboard in the foreground really bothers me; it should be a bit less prominent. 2. Diminution: 3/5. I especially like this in the case of the ski lift, The people walking up the stairs could be a bit larger. Convergence: 4/5. It adds a nice sense of dynamism. Foreshortening: 4/5. It's clearly visible in the case of the car and the wall in the foreground. Overlap: 5/5. Just right Atmosphere: 4/5. In some places, it could be less detailed, especially in the background. For example, the space behind the man in the yellow jacket.

Hi, I’m sharing a few pages with an exercise. I originally knew this exercise in a version without drawing the circle. Just placing a dot and crossing straight lines. Here, it allows for more intentional and predictive work. I also have a question. What do you think about switching from a pencil to a pen to make marks more deliberately? I’m not talking about while practicing, but during actual drawing sessions. Let me know what you think!

Hey, here are my results from the last 3 weeks. This challenge has been an absolute blast. It turned into an amazing journey and a great chance to experiment. Seeing everyone’s work has been incredibly inspiring. Huge shoutout to all of you, you’re awesome!

Hi, I’m sharing my attempt and would greatly appreciate any advice on areas for improvement. From what I’ve observed, I may have oversimplified the piece—I could have paid more attention to the proportions and been more deliberate and consistent with the shading. After all, Rome wasn’t built in a day, and I’m already getting started on my next attempt.

Don’t worry about being over simplified for this project. Keep it as simple as you can. This looks great! I love how you divided up the shapes as if they were flat planes. That’s exactly what you should do for this. Here’s a quick tip and a demo I made for other students. Maybe you will find them helpful too. Good luck with your fruit drawing. Keep up the practice!

Hi, I’d like to share my results. I highly recommend using a blue-lead pencil to create a grid—it made a huge difference in keeping things organized. A T-square ruler is truly a game-changer!
