It looks so much easier than it is done. Even with somthing as simpel as a knife.
Daniel Korolik Kogan
A knife doesn't have much volume. Maybe try it with something more boxy :3

I've started with my webcam as a way to get the brain to work, I did need some attempts to pull it off, but actually it was really cool to do it, it was interesting and I'm happy with the results, the 2nd one, the pelvis, I thought that was a good chance to refresh bone anatomy and I'm happy with it, I might say it's not 100% accurate but hey I think it really gives the feeling of seeing a pelvis Rotating in space, and the third one was entirely organic, I tried to not be precious with structure and I think it looks good enough to be satisfied with this assignment!

That looks really nice!

For this assignment, I chose to draw a phone charger, primarily because of its straightforward geometric forms—a box, a hexagon, and two cylinders. I also created an orthographic sketch, inspired by Peter Han’s demonstration, to maintain a clear visualization of these shapes. I opted to draw freehand without using a ruler, which I found both fun and challenging. However, achieving precise accuracy proved difficult, and I’m not entirely sure why. I would greatly appreciate any feedback or suggestions, as I’m eager to improve and create more exact drawings in the future. Thank you!

i remember getting to europe and struggling because i could charge anything without that type of charger

Hello everyone, Unfortunately I am a "bit" late to turn in the assignment [ I was in exam period :( ] , but I would still really appreciate any comments and critiques for my analyses of the images I picked to analyse. Image #1 - The open world field with the kids and large mountain Foreshortening – 1 (None) Explanation: Nothing appears to be foreshortened in this painting; there are no dramatic transitions in any of the objects. Diminution – 4 (Much) Explanation: Several objects appear to become gradually smaller—for example, the birds (which are the most obvious), then the rocks—which makes the mountain creature seem massive compared to the children. Finally, the mountains also become progressively smaller. Even the tree is much smaller, giving the impression that it is farther away. Convergence – 5 (Extreme) Explanation: Convergence seems to be the most prominent aspect of this painting. The mountains and rivers all appear to converge toward the child’s pointing finger, which looks like a deliberate compositional choice. This element makes the painting especially engaging. Overlap – 5 (Extreme) Explanation: Overlap is used repeatedly throughout the scene. The flowers overlap a rock, which in turn overlaps more flowers, and so on. On the left side, the trees overlap the mountains, while the children overlap a rock, the mountains, and another tree in the distance. A prominent rock in the middle overlaps with the river, indicating it is positioned in front of the water, among other examples. Atmospheric Perspective – 4 (Much) Explanation: As the painting moves toward its convergence point near the child’s finger, it becomes brighter, more desaturated, and hazier, with less colour contrast overall. Image 2 - Lee Sin (The kicking guy) Foreshortening – 5 (Extreme) Explanation: The figure shows severe foreshortening, particularly in the kicking leg relative to the rest of the body. Diminution – 2 (Barely) Explanation: The devices he is kicking seem slightly smaller and more distant. Convergence – 1 (None) Explanation: I don’t see any clear lines converging in this piece, so I don’t believe there is convergence here. Overlap – 5 (Extreme) Explanation: Overlap is very prominent. For example, the broken wood is clearly in front of the foot, and the character is in front of other wooden objects (the red fabric and his leg overlap them). Additionally, his hand overlaps his hair, indicating that the hand is in the foreground. Atmospheric Perspective – 2 (Barely) Explanation: It’s unclear if there is significant atmospheric perspective. His hair does fade somewhat into the background, but I’m unsure if the hazy background alone constitutes atmospheric perspective. I don’t believe so. Image 3 - Hearthstone Card (The giant creature and the small soldier) Foreshortening – 2 (Barely) Explanation: I believe the leg is slightly foreshortened, but only minimally. Diminution – 2 (Barely) Explanation: The only instance of diminution I notice is in the tents, which become just a bit smaller. Again, it’s only slightly visible. Convergence – 2 (Barely) Explanation: I think the only convergence might be in the mountains and possibly the tents, which appear to come closer toward the centre of the painting. However, I’m not entirely sure about this. Overlap – 4 (Much) Explanation: I find it clever that the small soldier is overlapping the giant’s shadow rather than the giant himself, indicating that he’s standing in front of the giant. If I’m not mistaken, this is our only clue. The giant also overlaps some of the mountains and tents, which is clearly visible. Atmospheric Perspective – 2 (Barely) Explanation: The background becomes hazier and more desaturated with less contrast toward the centre. For example, the tent on the left is darker compared to the tents closer to the centre, which are more similar in colour to the mountains and background, almost blending in. Thank you very much for all the help :)

Tried to fit them all on one page, I hope it's not too confusing to read! I also added little notes to the side to keep me focused on certain issues I'm having. Definitely got me more used to using the new tools! The ruler and 0.05 mechanical pencil were mainly used here. I'm going to have to use the Triangle Rulers more because I don't think some of these are accurate to 60 degrees! Definitely something I need to hammer in to me in the future. I think the main problems I'm having here are consistency with line angles and proportion. I can't seem to get them consistently down, even if I do measure with the ruler. The ruler does come in handy though, and it does help with measuring proportions more accurately than by hand. That and other problems like angles of ellipses and other box angles; topics that will probably be addressed in our studies later down the line. Also tried to make a some of the boxes transparent; this really made me have to think about accurate form, but it sure made the exercise feel more challenging and fun! Also for the one at the bottom, I went and did a little peer study of one of Sandra Salem's pages. It's not accurate, but I thought the shapes she choose were so cool! Definitely need to work on accuracy, proportion, and angles as the lessons continue, but this was a really fun exercise regardless!

Wow it looks like you already have a really good understanding of perspective. That is very well executed :O

Changing a frame into a star. The objects are, in order, possible - impossible - possible - impossible - possible.
Daniel Korolik Kogan
That's a really cool idea :3

This assignment was actually harder than I expected. I wanted to create my own illusion, so it really took me a lot of time to come up with an idea and understand how to execute it. My perspective is not perfect, but I wish I understood the task correctly :) I drew the simplest jewellery chest, one time emphasizing it from above and one time from below. Then I tried to think how I can make an illusion out of it, so I wrote "HELLO" in mirror writing to show it from below, but emphasizing the chest as if we are looking at it from above. I really hope it is clear enough, I would love to get some feedback from anyone really, it would be greatly appreciated! :3

very nice, and a Orginal idea! This is also my first time learning perspective, though not intuitive perspective.I suggest to make the lines darker to the side that is closest to you. For example the contour lines that are facing our way, to make them darker. And the ones facing away lighter. On this ⭕️, at that very point tells the viewer whether It’s facing away from us or toward us. Hope this helps!

Big Picture goals for me would be to: 1. Drawing something from a different angle. 2. Learn how to approach visualizing perspective, so it becomes intuitive to segment the environment in front of me to basic shapes and volumes. 3. Learn how certain types of shapes and forms interact with one another in 3D dimension. 4. Learn how to stretch a form and foreshorten it.
