My first attempt at level 1

Always an interesting and challenging exercise

i wonder if you revise your videos or just finish and post them? Dice Tsutsumi is a very wrong example of an analogous color choice! please correct me if i am wrong if anyone reads this. thanks

Not sure I'm being accurate enough as I feel I put the circles down randomly (or maybe it's intuitively?)

I started this exercise with the ninja mantis with which I had fun trying to curl the antennae. The drunk elephant was fun more because I liked creating this unbalanced gesture than because of difficulty of the cross contours. I didn’t draw big enough to be able to do a clean j9b of the cranium. Doing the elephant ears, I thought about a third subject: drapery with cross contours but no shading

Not a great fan of tanks but still tried one. Actually when I was studying the topic, I realised that the real level 1 cars are the Flintstone kind of cars. A slight upgrade would be an articulated Flintstone car. I actually believe a real car if it is moving is a real level 2 topic: you have to draw 4 different cylinders with their centres being properly in perspective. interesting also I found was drawing a bottle with its label: quite a few different ellipses to figure out and align properly.

Trying another one, more ambitious, with cylinders going along every axis. One thing I struggled with is how to join the chimney cylinders to the engine cylinder - could someone please help? Also, I feel like the perspective is too drastic and it makes the whole thing distorted. Should I have put the vanishing points further away?

i love trucks - i constructed a generic semi with saddle. I don't love tanks too much tho. They are way too present these days for my taste. May they all rust in peace soon.

Much more difficult than I expected. Had to redo and fiddle a lot. And this level 2 is even more fun
