I am really starting to see the value of this the more I do it.
It Really let's you figure out proportions with less distractions.
Also I am seeing why boxes are so handy.
If you keep the rectangle around your othos you can project them into a box with the same proportions!
The box is your guide and everything that lines up in the orthos projects to the same vanishing points.
It's really neat and actually feels like I am building a process to draw anything.

This took a while for me.
One thing I need to work on is keeping the page clean. I smear the pencil so easily. Both with my hand and ruler.

Here is bad art joke I thought of:
I love studying perspective because it's the only time in my life I can improve linearly.

I am curious how beholden you feel to your initial blobs. If you feel it is off to you iterate on your blob? Or is the point just to get something on the page?

Good work!
I would say the blob is to be used as a helpful tool rather than something to be married to. It is probable that the initial blob isn't 'perfect,' so the moment you feel the blob is too inaccurate for your liking, adapt accordingly rather than be held prisoner to something that was just an estimation in the first place.

I'm curious as to why you only use parallel lines during perspective. Are there cases where you use 2 or 3 point perspective, and if you did would you apply it during that step?
"Make friends who are artists."
Any proko courses on this? :) :(
also it helps if you dont know who you are talking to so conversation flows naturally. i think i just happen to meet people by accident because i step outside and draw attention by being invested in art. it happened more when i lived in the big city less in my small town. but i met some famous artists this way. but we started talking mostly because of their dog or outfit and the view or such. i chat with everyone nice on the street anyway. because old people chatted me up at bus stations all my life
rephrase this to how to network. how to make friends is a different topic. contacts are supposed to wash each others hands and only possible if you can provide value. friends are just happy to interact because you are a mood boost. however, taking advantage of friends is not nice. contacts can become friends and vise versa but it is more uncommon
Step one go outside...
step two realize artists don't go outside.
Hmm I see your point- HELP US PROKO!

Here is my first attempt after learning how to draw isometric cubes.
https://youtu.be/7t4ycR3fXJ4?si=lXAMt_VYnaugiao9 I used this video to help me learn how to use the tools.
I picked 2 cm as the height of each cube then projected to the corner to find the width of each cube. Cleaned up initial drawing with a light box.
Side note vellum is very expensive and hard to find where I live.
I was intimidated by the idea of a light box but I bought the one in the image for less than a pack of vellum on amazon. It's LED and very thin.
People also use tablets as light boxes and there are guides online.

Thanks for sharing that link. Good to see we're in a worldwide club of learners.
And to thin that the new LED lightboxes are cheaper than a pad of vellum?! Who'd have thunk it?
