I slowly reviewed the xyz labeling assignment over the past few days. I started with the Hexagon to start with something simple, then decided to challenge myself with the stairs, then the right angled shape, last the slope shape 2. I tested out with the hexagon at different angles to challenge my brain, and then I rewatched the segment on the labeling to get it implanted in my head well. Which I believe truly helped me out with this assignment. This one was quite fun, figuring out which sections of each item the labels were and where to mark them. It felt like a great fun medium-sized level puzzle, which I love, so I was so happy to solve this one. I think I actually learned quite a lot about xyz coordinates a little bit. But would still love some input and thoughts on this progress.

My reaction to this video can be summarized as:

This had to be one of the most fun assignments yet in the course. I spent practically most of my afternoon on this one. Coming up with fun, creative ideas from the prompts from both the video and the reference photo. The most fun part was coming up with the crazy ideas I had for this one from all the different prompts. I plan on doing more of these and will try to post them when I draw them out tomorrow. I am not quite sure if I ever got mine Right-Angled, though. It was very hard for me to figure that part out as I drew these. I also went mostly freehand on these and did some with my trusty handy ruler. I had no idea how many different ways we could create brand new stuff using these templates. It was such grand fun. It actually got me an idea from this assignment to work on my own minimalized puzzle game since I'm a self learning GameDev on the side. This was a complete blast. Hope anyone likes these. It also took me quite a while to figure out how to put the cubes and the front-facing cube in different positions. I love puzzles like these. I hope there's more in the future.

This assignment was quite fun to do! It definitely made me better at freehanding boxes of different sizes in 3D space.

I chose to only go with the 9 squares one because it seemed to be the most interesting to me in terms of creative possibilites. Freehanded all of them, the first ones with pencil sketches first and the last ones directly in ink, which forced me to be very aware of each stroke I put on the paper while I was thinking of the shapes in my head. This was definitely a great brain exercice, felt really like solving puzzles to me. Very enjoyable!

Assignment - Orthos to Invented Form 3 - After going through the three plans from the lesson, I figured I'd give it a shot with something a bit more elaborate—still keeping it simple with basic shapes.

I thought I'd go the extra mile on this fun assignment here on Zero Point Perspective. Took me a while to figure out which item I'd use, so I figured I'd use my Playdate console with its cover. It would make a brilliant challenge, which was chosen as I drew my Playdate in front, side, and top views. It challenged my brain and thoughts on each perspective on how to conquer this with its cover. The cover made it quite a challenge yet also fun alongside the process. While drawing it, I thought about how I would view this fun-sized console with its cover onto paper well, especially when I reached the side or top viewpoints that adding the cover and overall sides of the console was quite a challenge yet perceived I belive. Are there any helpful tips for drawing items like this from a zero-point perspective that I could use in my future, especially if it has a flip cover? Any helpful tips I can use for practice would be appreciated. Would love to hear your thoughts on this to Marshall.

Watching this demo on drawing in Orthographic perspective Marshall with the plane, actually really was really educational on how to approach it all. Will give this a try for the assignment on picking a simple object near me n give it a shot.

It was such a joy to watch the whole Critique in one sitting. Thanks so much, Marshall, for including my piece again after a while in this one, as well as the wonderful advice on how to better myself with the One Pointing letters in perceptiveness. I also highly enjoyed the advice my fellow classmates gave me and will apply what was given to good practice in the future. I am looking forward to more fun assignments that will be coming forth in future lessons.

Thanks so much, Michael, for posting the critique video on the first lesson. I learned quite a bit from watching this one. Also, I truly enjoyed the assignment on finding pictures to go on to our first steps of mastering gestures. The stuff I found through my art books, I had, and poses I found were quite a fun challenge to conquer. I'm definitely going to watch the remaining videos soon and look forward to continuing to practice and preparing for the upcoming assignments. I'm definitely going to keep on practicing with this to get better. :)
