I love airplanes! I have a bunch of models and I doodle them during meetings and phonecalls. They are challenging in terms of perspective and memorizing proportions.
These are sketches of Mig-15 and F-68 Sabres - they are early jet era planes and quite "blobb-like".

Here, I stayed with the construction theme and sketched another piece of heavy machinery.
I started by focusing on the simple geometry and then added more details in the second sketch.
It is skewed. Which is funny cuz this happens to me too when I draw analog and don't sit upright ... you kind of "project" at an angle onto the paper. When you flip it horizontally it becomes apparent - but that can be easily fixed in Photoshop.
The bigger issue: the two vanishing points don't share the same horizon and for 2point-perspective the vertical lines should be paralell. I am not sure if it is a good idea to work without any vanishing points.
But, what do I know.

I find it hard to motivate myself to do these studies ... I guess because they don't challenge creativity.
I know. I am also not keen. However, I am trying to come up with my own compositions of my own drawings and checking if I can match it with a master that inspires me with the values. But I feel I spent too much time finding the right ones ... and that on top of everything else going on in the tourism high season, I am a parttime artist but the months december to march always are very minimal artist...

Hello, all. I had a question about the cross contour lines for the digger. It appears that they would make an arrow head towards us but since they are going up and away should they not be reversed? Or does the rule change when our eye level is so far below the object? Thanks for any responses.
Sorry. Can't help you with the blob. I am not sure how much blobs are really helpful or confusing. I am an oldschool box guy. Yes they have hard edges on the outside but they have a good heart. They want to help you by showing you exactly how perspective is effecting them. They show you the way to the points where things seem to be vanishing. They are your mentors. Your companions. They will always help you when you are lost in space.
Boxes are awesome.

Excavators are fun - but I like Graders even more. They are so weird looking machines with a long nose. Almost like the Borzoi of the construction machines.

I animate 2d and 3d and I like exploring hybrid options where I combine 3d for planning and tweening complex stuff and then use it as an aid for the 2d animation. But it goes both ways. Many animators I know improve their 3d animations, by doing scribbeling over their keyposes to optimize silhouettes and readability. It just makes sense to use the advantages of every tool available.
