My third attempt at L2. Compared to my first attempt, I can say that I've definitely improved. In particular, I like 14 best. For this attempt, I tried increasing the time between studying the reference and drawing from memory, separating them by an hour or so. It certainly increased the difficulty and I found myself having to invent certain parts as I totally forgot how that part of the reference looked. I'll certainly incorporate this into whatever I want to learn to draw in the future. But for now, I think I'll take it easy since this project is so mentally draining...

My third attempt for L1. The last two objects left are, in my opinion, the most complex ones. They have multiple ellipses which caused me quite a bit of trouble. I think the blowtorch turned out not bad, but the meat grinder was pretty tricky. But I can say I've certainly improved my visual library through these exercises.

My second attempt doing the level 2 of the project. I think they turned out not too bad. I realized that immediately drawing a thumbnail of the original reference after removing it helped me focus on designing a different pose. However, I wonder if its against the intentions of this project? Would it be better to just start on the pose immediately? Also, changing the proportions was also quite difficult for me as I didn't know what parts to change and make the pose still seem believable.

My attempts on the hammer and monkey wrench. Matching curves is quite a useful technique! There wasn't any curves to match in the wrench, but I learnt to simplify it to a simple block and building it up from there.

My attempts on the whistle and sledgehammer. The whistle turned out okay, but the octagonal faces of the sledgehammer were a bit of a challenge.

My first attempt at the project. Level 1 was relatively straightforward, and I think they came out not too bad. Deconstructing the object into primitives beforehand helped me construct the object in different angles. For level 2, I think I did okay for game 1 and 2. But for game 3 and 4, I wasn't able to properly visualize the new poses with different proportions. Not sure if this is just an issue of needing more practice? Any critique/feedback will be deeply appreciated, thanks!

My third attempt for this project. First set from imagination, second from reference. I think I'm slowing getting the hang of it, and I'm happy with some of the twisting and general shape of the torsos. Some still look weird, especially when the pose is in a rather static, "standing straight" kind of pose. I'm not sure how to exaggerate those. I guess it will come with more practice I guess.

My third attempt at the project. This time, I focused on lightly blocking out the structure of the house before trying to deform it. I think having the boxy form as the base to begin with is very helpful, and I think the houses turn out quite good.

My post demo attempts. I think they look better than my first attempts after I started thinking more closely about the planes that were visible/angle of the torso. However, some still seem a little off or just don't look that nice. I think I'm having trouble with the proportion between the ribcage box and the pelvis box, which causes the resulting connecting edges to be a bit off.

My second attempt at this project. My L1 houses seem kinda boring so maybe I should push the shapes a bit more. For L2, I may have gotten a little carried away. It went from a tree house to a treehouse creature thing. Nevertheless, thumbnailng at the start did help me quickly generate possible ideas and act on the ones I liked, so it was quite useful.
