Here are my rooms! I've always hated drawing buildings/furniture but had a great time doing this assignment. Straight lines are hard :')

Here's my (level 1) 1-point perspective room - boxes only! I wanted my focus during this exercise to be solely on converging all my depth (z-axis) edges to the single vanishing point (as opposed to worrying about my lines) so... I used a ruler. I did a few preparatory thumbnail studies to choose a point of view (based on the horizon line and vanishing point placement in relation to the room / box) I liked and settled on this (above and to the left). I will be back to do this project again freehand :D

This is so cute, reminds me of the game Unpacking :)

First batch! It was a struggle but a fun one. Still getting the hang of the overhand grip and just charcoal, so eh, these are messy. And so are my white kitchen table, my hands, and my slippers. Spent ~20-30 min on each. Would appreciate your feedback! :)

Loved working on this!

Another one.

Attempts number 1 and 2 respectively. Really tried to spend more time on the second one.

Well this was fun, albeit rather challenging!

Adding some of my attempts at playing with the shapes. Saiga antelopes already look so silly and alien, I wasn't quite sure what to do with their design :D

Working on this was super fun! It was a nice way to practice pressure control on my pencil. Hopefully, I'll be able to rely less on erasers with time. And... My proportions were off, so I ended up with a chonkier mouse.

Here's my attempt at Glen Keane. Nowhere near, of course, but drawing this felt really good. I think this was the first time I forced myself to go bolder and use more energy. Still getting the hang of those beautiful tapered strokes :')

Attempted the shadow and light direction method. Found the lighting in the picture a bit confusing, would really appreciate any tips to improve my drawing!
