This was a pretty fun and relaxing exercise, whilst still being a little difficult at parts, I will definetely add this exercise to the more important ones I will be doing after I caught up with the course. I did both level one and two, if there are some problems with it letting me know is something I have so much gratitude for! Personally, I could have tried to make some contours a little more 3d looking, so ill keep that in mind for next time!
Rachel Dawn Owens
Your cross contour drawings are great! You even gave some of the cross-contours corners to differentiate between round and boxy forms. If you want your drawings to look more 3d, you could consider this: Keep it up! I love seeing your drawings.

here is my level 1 and level 2 assignment! I had a little fun doing this and kinda just relaxed with this one since I have some experience with boxes, some look a little weird, but for this project I don't really mind since I just explored some things! If there is something strange that I am not aware of, letting me know is greatly appreciated!

here is my level 2 assignment for this project. I feel like this one has way better wheels then my level one's. I can still see some faults in there like the sphere on top, and someone I made the smaller wheel at the back a little bigger than the one at the front, and my line quality is horrible for this one, but I tried my best at the wheels. I am still very lost about this, and I mostly go on intuition. It seems I will have to spent some time on getting this particular part of drawing right

God I am so embarrassed of these, I have been trying to understand this for over 3 days now, and I am so lost. I even went ahead and watch the demo's but I am still so lost about these elipses/cilinders. I did some elipses/cilinder drawings and warmups before and I did not really think it was hard, but for some reason after watching the demos and the project video I have been beat. I still have no idea how to do those elipses in perspective, and when I do try it, it makes me mess up the perspective of everything around it as well, making it look even worse. I am not even trying to talk down to myself, but it almost feels like my brain has been reset for this or something. If there is anyone out there that can share some advice with me, I will be so super grateful to you!

What helped me finally get it was understanding that the minor axis of the ellipse points to a vanishing point. It's what helps me orient my wheels correctly when I'm doing these. I didn't get it for a long, long time, so I definitely empathize with you. It's a tough thing to get your mind around.
Rachel Dawn Owens
This is looking great to me! This is a tough assignment. I think the 3rd drawing looks the best because the x,y,and z axis angles line up the best.

Alright, with this the assignment is done. This one was a bit harder than the others, and I did have to really think about it more. One note to myself would be that I should just take my time for every single line, and perhaps before I instantly go into the project, maybe loosely sketch my thought process out first to get a better image of what I should be doing. I do like some more than others. The first three images are all first level and have been made after the demo. The 4th is level 2 pre demo and the last one is after the demo. Out of the level 2 projects I like the last one more, since I did put some more thought into it, but of course it can still be wrong. If there are any mistakes, pointing those out to me would be extremely nice and I will be very grateful for those that do! Although it isn't a requirement of course!
Rachel Dawn Owens
Nice! These are really clean drawings. You’re right, sometimes it’s easier to start looser and then draw the forms on top. Especially when you’re dealing with foreshortening. Thanks for sharing!

These are all pre demo and level one. I will be posting the post demos and level 2 assignments sometime tomorrow. I could have made these cleaner and a little more closer to the actual reference, but I had to get my mind into that mindset of really putting things into boxes and not using the other shapes in the hand, so I had to get used to that a little. I have not posted the post demo assignments of the last 2 or 3 projects, and that is because I either got it right the first time, and was minimal change the second time or because I just forgot, so I am gonna look through my folder lol. Of course I wont see a lot of results in just two studies, but I will continue doing them a lot after I finish this course and implement them in my regime. Regardless of that, if there are any points of improvement letting me know is something I appreciate a lot!

Careful with the connection points -- in the first one, it looks like the fingers are coming out of the top of the palm instead of the front plane. I think establishing the position of the palm first may help you. You can use that front plane of the palm to place the fingers so they are all in line. Hope that helps :)

Alright, this was a pretty mixed project for me, I liked it, but at the same time it also gave me a little frustration. All in all, I am not sure how I did for this project. The first image is prior to the demo and the one following is after, so that concludes level one. The level 2 assignments following those are all prior to the demo, and I will be doing some more after watching that. I threw a digital one in there, because I am actually drawing more since I got my wacom. When I study I usually go to the library. So I would do 5 hours of japanese and like 3-4 hours of drawing. Usually I go home after I am done and since my wacom is at home I do a little more, but just some passion projects/ all the warm ups from this course for now. I am still of the opinion that traditional drawing is a wise thing to master as well. But letting go of all of that, if there are any point of improvements or something I could have done better, or should keep doing letting me know does not go unappreciated!
Rachel Dawn Owens
These look great! Especially the traditional drawings.

This is my level 2 assignment. Before I say anything at all, I have no idea why the lines on the roof are slanted, in my sketchbook they are straight even when I put my ruler against them, so I have no idea why. Regardless of that, this level 2 assignment had me stuck not on the perspective part even, but more how to design things like an arcade room. This is why I kinda went out of the box and made it into something different, still implementing some of the arcades however, hopefully that isn't cheating. I did try to keep it more simple than my level one assignment, since I had a clearer vision of what I wanted to do with that one. However if there is anything strange with the perspective with this one, letting me know is always super appreciated and I literally cannot stop saying thank you to those that do! All in all, I still liked this project however!

This is the first level pre demo, I will be doing the level 2 as well, along with both of the post demo versions I will make. I am familiar with one point, two point and three point perspective, but the most I have done with these was drawing boxes. I did draw a street corner in two perspective once, but that was quite a while ago. Not sure if there is something strange going on with this one, so if there is or anything I can improve on let me know! The scene is supposed to potray a road going into a tunnel, with some bushes growing all around the scene, and I just added a whole in the wall cause I wanted to I guess.
@lieseldraws
This looks awesome!!
Melanie Scearce
Looks awesome! The only thing I would say is that the horizon line should be consistent with the vanishing point, so the water/land beyond the road should be on the same line.

Wow this looks amazing - well done! Unfortunally I didnt do this excercise and I am not good in perspective so dont take my word seriously. But the rail on the right side feels a bit off - again maybe it needs to look like this. Anyhow great workl love the tunel and the shadow.

This is all after the demo. I do like these exercises, and I will definitely do alot more of these. I might be too caught up in the anatomy sometimes, but I am not sure. A lot of my own personal studies have some sort of anatomy studies in there so that is maybe why. The overhand grip again was very hard for me. I did feel it is a little more cleaner than last time, but it is very uncomfortable for my hand. I do like some more than others, but overall I am not sure where I should place myself. if there are any big mistakes or things I am doing well I am not aware of, letting me know is something I have a lot of gratitude for!

It looks like you are getting some of the rhythms, but you are also breaking them up over several lines. You could try a few poses minimizing the number of lines you are using, and limit it to C S and I curves. Hopefully this helps!
