Started with a few objects on hand. I can tell that my free hand approach might be causing my drawings to be wobbly. Like the left side of my drawings tend to be in a more sharper angle than the right side.

All these tricks are already giving me ideas! Thanks Marshall for the lesson!!

So I followed Marshall’s advice and tried to make an illusion. After sketching some boxes, I cleaned it up with a ruler and added a cylindrical pipe between the two boxes with some misalignment to make it look like an illusion. Not really the best design, but that’s all I could think of. I also did another sketch with just a box with windows. Also realised how hard it is to draw a straight line even with a ruler if I don’t do it on a flat desk.

You dare to lay bare your freehand-vs-straight-edge contrasts — grand act of humility that I trust will help your growth. One reminder: as often as possible in your studies, draw "through the form" to the other side, at least lightly. It may seem tedious, but it gets you in the habit of developing that accountable x-ray vision.

Hello Fellow Artists! I am Chekdot 😁. Besides being able to understand perspective, my immediate goal is to be able to draw vehicles in perspective. Additionally, I struggle a lot with making wheels in perspective. Examples below, some are from a movie, Redline (hope that's OK) which has extreme perspective and some from Evangelion artist Yoshiyuki Sadamoto.

Hey chekdot, These are pretty nice, especially the gesture, they have nice flow. In your first figure you are having some proportion issues, and you need to think about how gravity will effect the forms. The second figure is feeling odd because the left arm is saying we are looking down at the figure, but the figure is looking straight on. I did some quick sketches and some notes so you can see what I mean, I hope it helps :)

Thank you Steve. How could I make the spine/center line less flat?
