A quick sketch of my telephone at work to see if I'm getting the idea, the one on the side doesn't feel like I'm really turning it in space, I just kind of... Drew it sideways. Any strategies for breaking out of this?

If you're familiar with video games or 3D stuff, a way you can think of it is like rotating an item in wireframe mode. Another way is to look at the object, and to imagine twisting it like you would with a wooden alphabet block in your hands. If its proving to be extra difficult, close your eyes and envision the object as you observed it, then mentally turn around it until you 'see' it in the desired orientation, then just do your best to copy that.

Hi Morgan, apologies for being a bad student, I skipped all the assignments and 2x speeded most videos. My nan passed away last month and she left me a little bit of money that I put towards my art education here. This is a photo of my grandad that my wife took at the funeral and I wanted to get the portrait done before Christmas to give to him as a present. I’ve taught myself everything I know about painting up till now and I’m very grateful I'm able to start learning for real. This portrait wouldn’t have been possible without your lessons and I'm incredibly thankful you took the time to share your knowledge with us. I hope to take things a little slower in the new year and go back over everything at a much more reasonable pace. Happy holidays!

Such a wide range of techniques applied. I found it interesting that Donato’s was the most balanced, it definitely comes a cross as the slickest piece along the collection. The atmosphere in Tedin’s piece is stunning, I have no idea how to study making those forms in perspective!
finally caught up. Sad I’m late for this submission but I’ll be there for the next!

Experimenting with this. I tried breaking it with the horizontal lines. Does the inversion still work?

Here’s a symmetrical isometric design that I ‘lit’ from the right to make it feel more like an object

Pieces that showcase perspective in different ways.
I’m very excited to be starting the course. I’m hoping to catch up and be around for the lessons currently being uploaded!
