Love how well you dissect every process Marshall, so happy to have taken up this course! Here's my attempt at creating what I understood from this lesson. A few more manic lines for your enjoyment 😶‍🌫️

gave it a couple tries then came up with one or my own. Ben letting my lead dull out. I can do about half of what Marshall is using before hitting the lead sharpener. I will eventually make it work.

Decided to follow along with the video but without any filter paper or coloured drawing tools. If what you see looks like a mess then it is because it is one.

Arrf these twisted arrows -_-' Marshall warned: expect to fail! And I failed.. I'm not completely sure I got everything of the explanation but the more I practice the more it makes sense so.. Let's fail again :D

Sometimes you are in the middle of something and you realize that it is going to be very bad. And you see all the flaws and mistakes possible in it. And maybe you start having second thoughts about showing the thing because it really makes all your weaknesses shine through. And did you even learn anything from doing that? You don't know. But you tried and that's gotta count for something. Message brough to you by: "How hard can it be" behavior.

Here's my shot-in-the-foot of a submission. I just had to pick a Formula 1 car for my orthos, didn't I? With all its fancy curves and swoops and scoops and diagonals and...ya, great thinking Ishaan. No doubt making this was extremely challenging, and the results are really 'sketchy', no pun intended. The right front tyre looks to be further away from the nose cone than the left front which defies visual logic. A lot of sections were hidden away from view/not clearly defined inspite of the orthos. I also took care to not see the actual car model and relied entirely on only the orthos, so I had to 'make up' a few sections. I'm not sure if I have it in me to make this from another angle but as Darth Maul once put it, 'pain is the greatest teacher'. Nevertheless, here's something to improve upon as this course progresses.

Had another go with this house box thing my kids dinosaur came in. I made some orthos and then did some angles from imagination. By 3/4 I was rushing and making mistakes, so I tried to really slow down and also try and go bigger because I keep going too small by accident. I think bigger allows more precision. By the end one I wasn't managing space well though and fell right off the page...

Hi Marshall, thank you for the kind words about my development. It feels good to know that I'm on the right path! And yes, you pronounced my name perfectly.

I decided to go a bit ambitious and try a real object which is reasonably irregular in shape and form, a replica of the third finger bones of a Utahraptor, from the Smithsonian. It looks a bit messy, especially in the bottom view. Holding it in the orthogonal positions proved to be a bit tedious. I'm certain I've made a mess of the oblique view as well.

Today my heart wasn't quite in it and it shows in the drawing. I'll try to come back to it later but I thought it important to put in the work anyway.
