Asked for help
@Jesper Axelsson Thank you for responding and thank you for your subjections, they really helped, while I don't think I'm proficient at drawing boxes and cylinders, here is what I came up with for the requested exercise.
As per my goals: from an early age I’ve have wanted to draw, I love having the ability to bring to life what only exist in your minds and showcase it for others to enjoy what you have already enjoyed. I used to draw as a child, but I never thought that my skills were good enough so I gave it up, and it was until 2020 when by mistake I purchased a book that by its simplistic approach, awaken once more the desire to pursue the development of this skill, and after taking online classes and other methods, it has led me to Proco to further advance this understanding and further my abilities.
At the moment I’ve been pursuing realism drawing, at first, because as a child I though it to be impossible for me to do it, and who knows, maybe reach higher limits.
I’ve attached also some of the projects I have finished. Thank you!

Hi again @Jonathan Rondon, thanks for taking the time to do the exercise and for posting examples of work that you've done. Really cool drawings!
"I love having the ability to bring to life what only exist in your minds and showcase it for others to enjoy what you have already enjoyed" Cool! Do you have any artists in mind that you admire, who does that type of work? Please share some examples :)
I also saw that you've started taking the Drawing Basics course. That's great! In fact, I just noticed that Stan released a video about how the course will talk about boxes and cylinders (Thinking in 3D), the exact thing that my assignment for you was about. I think you'll really benefit from and enjoy the Drawing Basics course :)
- I really appreciate that you took the time to do the exercise. The presentation is nice and the forms are drawn with care, but there are some errors in the structure that you would benefit from working on. The basics course will cover it, so if you'd rather go through the basics course, and tackle the subject when you reach the lessons, feel free. But if you'd like to practice it right away, Here are some tips:
BOXES
Some of the lines are diverging instead of converging.
When a set of parallel edges move into space, it appears as if they converge to a common point in the distance (vanishing point). The box has 3 sets of parallel edges, each converging to their own vanishing point. Let me know if you'd like further clarification on this. You could check out the Thinking in 3D lesson in the meantime.
Draw 3 more boxes, like in the previous exercise, and focus on making sure that the edges of the boxes are converging correctly.
CYLINDERS
I attached two slides with some cylinder drawing tips. They'll give tips on the shape, openness and angle of the ellipses.
The circular faces closest to the viewer in your drawings, have a really nice elliptical shape😎👍
Draw 3 more cylinders working on the things mentioned in the slides
I hope this helps :) Let me know if you have any questions!

I started to pursue portrait drawing (mainly on my own, through books and online classes) since 2020 and while I'm very grateful of how far my drawings have come, I want to improve the dimmensions and measurements in my drawings, so I've desited to look into the loomis method in order to advance my knowledge of the human skull and perhaps after that, continue learing to become a better artist.
I appreciate and welcome any advise. Thank you!

Hi @Jonathan Rondon, nice studies! They feel clear, controlled and done with good precision. I'll do my best to help you further :)
- I would highly recommend taking the Drawing Basics. The course seems like a lot of fun and people taking it seems to be improving a lot. By strengthening your foundation your head drawings will improve automatically.
- It would be nice to see some more of your drawings to get an understanding of how you apply your skills to different subjects and for finished work :)
Feel free to also share what your art goals are. What type of work do you want to create? Any examples of artists who does that type of work? Please share any examples :)
- The line that wraps around the head that the brows sit on, runs across the center of the sphere, and through the center of the circle on the side of the head. In the bottom right drawing, you have it running through the circle above it's center.
- The angle and shape of the round side plane of the head, and the angle of the feature lines on the face could be improved. How much experience do you have in drawing boxes and cylinders?
Do this exercise then post and tag me (@Jesper Axelsson ) if you want me to take a look:
Draw 3 boxes from different angles from imagination. Draw through as if they were made out of glass; drawing the edges that are on the hidden side (lightly).
Then do the same with 3 cylinders.
I hope this helps :) Keep up the good work 😎
