"Make friends who are artists." Any proko courses on this? :) :(

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.

If anyone else is like me and unsure how to start this video shows the basics of making an isometric cube with a tsquare and 60 30 triangle https://youtu.be/7t4ycR3fXJ4?si=lXAMt_VYnaugiao9 One challenge i had is that I can't flip my cheap plastic triangle well like he does in the video but you can rotate it to get 30 degrees in the opposite direction. As in my example pictures.

It kind of feels like this assignment came out too soon. You very briefly mentioned isometric perspective but I don't know the rules or angles to use. I know the triangles are used but I don't know how. I see you stack them sometimes but the example is cut up so much I can't see what you are doing. Not trying to be negative but this feels like I should go read about isometric perspective some where else before attempting this. A demo on basic isometric cubes showing how to use the tools would help me alot.

Getting more excited with every video and thinking about what I want from this course. I do feel intuitive drawing and perspective has always been quite hard for me, but I have been scared to use tools as everyone says they will dull your skills and hurt you in the long run. I really want to master perspective I think knowing the math and science behind it will help my intuitive side. I would love to able freehand something then use these tools to give myself feedback. Maybe it sounds silly but. But I feel a little more confident in my artistic future thinking I can improve my skills with math.

As a near sighted person, when I take of my glasses and squint it actually makes my vision more clear. So my two options are no glasses or squint with glasses on.

Tried a few pencil combinations and some ball point pens. Did 10 not 11 oops!

Last page in my study sketch book! Woooo. Kinda nervous going into tone :o

Trying to break up the steps a bit more clearly this time.
