added comment inAssignment - One-Point Letters
Asked for help
It was very difficult to do the "Draw the letter twice" method on the Ryo Saeba image. I wanted the extrusion to be shorter than the others, but when it's that short, the lines from the front plane and back plane starts to get confusing. I ended up just eyeballing it, but the "O, S, & A" in the middle just looks weird to me
(P.S Ryo Saeba is not my name but it's kinda similar. The name is from some anime character. I don't appreciate the character but the show is pretty cool.)

Just for fun, I did a study from one of my screenshots from playing "Breath of the Wild". Looking at the two side-by-side, I wish I had made the tower on top of the mountain in the center of the image WAY smaller than I did. Any other critiques much appreciated

I always thought these type of background landscape drawings were so difficult to do. I wouldn't even know were to start when looking at reference. But the pancake method makes this a WHOLE lot less taunting. I might do another one with the horizon line lower like @Pixel's first image. His submissions are pretty cool

I kinda wanna do different fonts, but even this simple style was so tedious to do XD

This was fun for the most part. I tried messing around and cutting/ scooping out mass from these forms. What confused me the most were forms (like the one circled in the second image) where the bottom plane touches the floor, under the horizon line, and the top plane ends over the horizon line. I don't know why, but it just looks weird to me.
(I mean, a lot of stuff kinda looks weird in this, but especially those kind of forms.)
Looks cool :) When the top plane is that close to the horizon (judging from it's side verticals) it would probably be almost a flat line.
(and with the bottom plane there are several ghosted lines, i'd think the lowest seems right, unless the 'island' stretches really really far into the image while also becoming really wide)

I drew one of the brake pads that I was gonna replace for my bike. I'll admit, I kinda cheated on that last one in the bottom right corner. At first I drew it in a way were both pads, top & bottom, were visible. Then when I went to get the actual brake pad to take a photo, I noticed in that extreme top-down view, that you don't even see the top pad. The metal plate completely covers it and only the bottom pad is visible. I couldn't help but redo that part just to make sure my brain understands that bit of perspective.

I remember doing this in my high school science classes on my ol' composition notebook. The grids would help me measure proportion on my humanoid characters (using the "how many heads tall" method). I gotta start looking for those notebooks!

Anybody know were to buy that circular ruler thingy-mah-bob? It's looks really cool and now I want one
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.
