added comment inAssignment - What is Zero Point Perspective?!
Asked for help
Tried on with more curves. This one was an interesting combination between flat shapes and details wrapping the shapes supporting the 3d form.

The first page is before watching the critique and 2nd was after. I tried to aim for interesting shapes, but not sure I improved much.

Are there situations/subject matter that you cannot draw as orthos? The hand example is a good one - since the fingers are not ever really in a parallel alignment in hand poses, there will always be parts within the hand that are oblique view…and therefore in perspective/three axes…? I guess the room with lots of objects rotated randomly to each other would be another example. How would you approach these when trying to understand the object before jumping into putting into perspective?
I agree with Randy on this. The more complex the object, the more ortho views you might need. I wonder if at some level of complexity you might even do MRI style cross section views. For example if the object had components blocked on the side views, but which the top view didn’t fully explain. I think the example of the hand was more to say the a standard set of orthos could only describe one pose of the hand. A different pose would require a new set of orthos. So with a very large number of potential poses, you would very quickly have an unmanageable number of orthos. However if you’re just trying to draw one pose in different perspectives a set of well selected orthos should give you the information to do that. At least that’s the theory. I’m a long way away from that!

Definitely harder than it looked, but I can really see how the helps you understand the subject and then envision it in 3d space.

various cross contour drawings. I think I started overthinking it on the rabbits as I started thinking about eye level/horizon line and started second guessing myself. I’ll have to play with it more on the ginger root people.

These were a lot of fun. Ran into some interesting design problems where it would look better to consider more carefully where the walls of the extruded shapes fall in relation to the edges of the main shapes. Some edges lined up too closely to the perspective lines to look good.

Good job though! Makes you appreciated the graphic designers more, eh?

I went with an onion for cooking, a drawing mannequin for art, and a metronome for piano and music.

Really inspiring lesson. I did this one from a picture I took at the museum. I’m going to have to look into more references for mechanical details. I kind of ran out of ideas for how to accessorize.

Here’s some of the ones I did. I really liked the explanation in the demo for how to do boxes with different proportions. That really helped to make sense of how to make better use of the technique.
