Ah, well. First try was a bit impatient.

And yet another exercise to do a lot more. 😅

Fun warmup challenge for x-ray vision: Drawing boxes sticking out of boxes. :)

Turns out I'm pretty bad at seeing boxes, and not really better at drawing them.

Here's my go at using De Vries' work as a stage. I recently watched some videos of the metal band Slayer's comeback gig and that was on my mind. I couldn't put myself through the pain of making an entire crown so I kept a bouncer dragging a drunken guy out of the 'stage' area instead,

The camel looks tilted... 🤔 (And yes, the vanishing points are too close.) Also, with the legs i had no idea how to determine the sizes of each side. Probably need more space to draw the leg boxes properly. And the human has a different kinds of arms. Well, as everything this needs a lot more practice!

Tough... 😒

My goal is quite humble: Move from 2D to 3D. The left picture is from Marc-Antoine Mathieu, one of my favorite comic artists. He's my ultimate benchmark since the first time I saw his drawings. The right picture is from Michael Sowa, a humorous German painter. He's not a perspective master, but he knows enough so nothing is ever off and gets in the way of his ideas. And that's kind of the more general, lofty goal: Reach a point where imagination is the limit, not skill.
