Making mileage… In my head I could do better. I’ll keep trying.

Nice!Making the outlines so much thicker than the cross contours helps with clean silhouettes.
I drew over in two places where I think the cross contours should curve less (because the shape gets closer to the horizon) or go the other way (because the shape crosses the horizon line) - hope you don't mind.
I know what you mean about mileage, good thing it's a fun exercise, makes you just want to do more and more :)

Who knew perspective could be so much fun!

First 2 attempts - will try more!

This was pretty challenging for me. Maintaining the ellipse relations when moving towards or away from the horizon while tackling so many different objects in the same scene was quite hard. Also, drawing through the forms helped. I found myself correcting many mistakes when I drew through the forms. Overall, this was a very helpful exercise.
I have a question. The plane marked in red crosses the horizon. I drew it assuming that a slant cut is made facing us. So, for both the parts below and above the horizon, the top plane is visible. Is it right? It looks alright to me but my eyes are not trained that much, so I am confused. Also, I am not sure how such a plane, that crosses the horizon in this way, can be drawn if the cross-section is perpendicular to the picture plane.
Looks convincing to me but would be cool to get a "formal" answer to your question. I suspect it's something to do with how since the red plane is facing us, it's more of a "front" plane, rather than "top" or "bottom" and so would be visible no matter if it's below or above the horizon.

My torsos seem to be too wide. How close do the knees need to be to each other? My profile one seems to have a disproportionately big head. Is it just me?
The chart on the right looks great to me! I think the torsos might sometimes seem disproportionately stalky, because we represent the limbs as bare bones or even sticks and in reality they would be made up of a lot of muscles too.

Hello, here is my assignment.
It looks as if they have become a little too wide.
Looking forward to the next lessons.
I think it turned out wide because you started iff with quite a wide head, almost square, and so when you doubled that to get the width of the torso, the whole figure became a little stalky. But I actually quite like the stylized look ;)

I want help to understand the line/angle to represent the knee. I understand the aspect of balance and "lightning" shape, but what is that angle representing? I found it difficult to make a decision on how to place the lines representing the legs because I did not really get the relation between the intersectionof those lines in that area.
I had the same problem so I opted for drawing the legs as "bones" with flat joints. I'm hoping we're get into some more details further along.

Thanks for the lesson, I also followed a quick gesture video from your YouTube channel
Very cool how you aded a dynamic pose, it drives the lesson home what this chart is actually for!

This was a brilliant assignment! Such a fun way to practice intuitive perspective. Thank you to Mr Graber and @Philip Dimitriadis!
For anyone working digitally - try drawing on a new layer once your composition gets a bit complicated. You can then drop the opacity of your main layer, draw your new shape on a separate layer, then erase what's needs erasing on the main layer (the overlaps), and then merge the layers. And repeat. I found it helped me a lot to keep it all organized in my head :)
