lol I like the attitude in the last pose.

I chose a stapler for this exercise. The back and front were more complex than i'd anticipated.
I know what you mean. I chose an eraser cause I thought it was going to be simple, only to discover it had more complexity than I thought. You did a great job on the stapler, super clean lines.

I did my assignment using this carving of a hippo that I got while visiting South Africa.
It was more difficult than I thought it would be. Any critique would be welcomed. Trying to keep every drawing the same size was a challenge.
I think you did a great job with the top and side views. For the front side, I think both legs should be on the same level, otherwise it looks like one is receding (see Melanie's demo of the shoe a couple of comments up).
Also, if you try to photograph your drawings without the shadow falling on the page, they will present better and be easier to 'read'. I'm saying it cause I know myself that it can be a struggle to get the light and phone positioned well ;)
Submitting my second orthos study of a vintage dual-blade French herb chopper.
This one tested my ability to balance symmetry (those mirrored blades!) and organic curves (the swooping arch between handles).
Will certainly do more because I love the process of making these studies 👍🏻

Ortho study of a pencil sharpener
Drawings like these make me realise how complicated such a tiny little object I wouldn't look twice at is... Newfound appreciation for sharpeners...

Super sharp
A couple more lettering in perspective sketches. I found a book called Art Alphabets, Monograms, and Lettering by J.M. Berling (I think it might be one of those mentioned by Marshall) and it has lots of cool vintage font examples to play with :)

Drawing along with the demo. Just posting to keep myself accountable and actively learning, not just watching the videos.
Such a cool idea to put the letters into an environment. And I like how they're not all face-on but sideways, makes it more dynamic. Though, now that I think of it, wouldn't that put the letters in two point perspective?

Hey, everyone!)
hope I made it in time! Just rolled in into a course and here is an assignment 😍
The one on the bottom is a full freehand idea exploration - checking out where it would go
And on the top - trying to clean it up using a ruler
+having fun with watercolor and dip pen & ink
[materials I’m currently learning to use… working in ink did come back to bite me on Letter “V”😂]
That was a lot of fun!
wish you all a great day and to put some art into the world!) 🥝
p.s. Ki-Vi - is not my real name, but it’s a pseudonym that stuck around 😋
I love the look of watercolor and ink, it's something I'm trying to teach myself too. Have you found any good courses/tutorials on that? Or are you just experimenting yourself?

I only managed the freehand idea stage, as it took me longer then they actually look. I used some names from the Arts & Crafts movement, and thought it would be good to link the name and type design to the product the artist created at the time. For instance Pugin’s designs In Westminster palace, like his gothic carved panels. Sorry they are still so rough, needs more development and craft :))
