It looks like a Helix Angle & Circle Maker. I got one from Hobby Lobby not too long ago.

Digital + traditional w/ micron
I feel like the physical paper gave me more stabilization than my actual stabilizer setting! Maybe i should bump it up a touch.

As others have already said, I remember doing a similar assignment on Drawabox and this gave me a good reminder to keep on doing these exercises as warm-ups. I'll be honest, I didn't really ghost a lot of these lines. It feels like if I ghost the line too much, I'll start over-thinking it and freak myself out then fray the line. Or maybe I'm just rusty, who knows ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.(The arrows are the directions I drew the line from)
Nice lines! I also did draw a box and one tip I remember from him was imagine you are two separate people drawing the line. The first ghosts it and plans it out. The second executes the ghosted line - no thinking, just draw the line that was planned in advance.
Another tip I find very helpful personally is from Peter Han in this video: look at the page, not the line. Don't follow the line as you draw it or you will be prone to try and 'correct' it or just to panic and mess it up. Look at the space you are drawing the line on the page, and execute the line.

This assignment really broke my brain, especially that rectangular illusion. I'm not sure that I actually inverted it so much as just rotated it. Overall though, it was a fun assignment. Getting those clean straight lines were so satisfying and the tools were fun to use.

Edit: Forgot to add this in the original post but; Something I noticed when studying these illusions is that lines from (for example) the bottom plane of a cube would line up perfectly with the lines from the top plane of a different cube. And that other cube is in a completely different location in space. I don't think I'm explaining this well at all, but I hope the image helps you understand what I mean. I think THIS line thing is one factor that helps makes these illusions work. I don't know, just a thought ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This was a fun study, but trying to understand the spiral staircase was a real challenge though. I just freehanded it on the bigger thumbnail, but I couldn't figure out how to make it accurate perspective-wise. I tried to imagine it as a cylinder, a cylinder cut in a certain way to make the slope of the stairs. But yeah I don't know. VERY excited for this course :)

Hi @dooby, nice drawings!
- I think I would recommend starting with a drawing of the figure, then putting the anatomy within it. Once you have the proportions and volumes of the figure, you can look for landmarks that help you place the skeleton. Study how the spine relates to the larger volumes (for example: the thoracic portion ends where the 12th ribs attach to the spine)
It helps to do drawings of the skeleton itself, as you've done with the drawings after skelly, since the skeleton is covered in flesh, so to draw it in detail based on a live model, you'll have to rely on your understanding of it.
I did a paintover with some tips.
(Human Proportions – Average Figure )
I hope this helps :)

Exercise 2: Trace Models
Yeah lol number 9 really boggled mah brain, some help on that one specifically would would be greatly appreciated

These are looking good! I see what you mean about number 9, my advice would be to look for the boney landmarks, like the bottom of her ribcage where the skin is pulled tight over it. If you had that placement correct I think it all would have made a lot more sense :)
