Does anyone know what FOV means ?

Here is a study that I did from a Heinrich Kley image. I know it’s a copy, but I gotta’ start somewhere! Right? My goal is to be able to picture something in my imagination and bring it to life on paper. Critiques welcome!

Loving this assignment so far. But feel its pretty similar to the last one or am I missing something?

3 assignments in 1. The dinosaur fits into to atmosphere of the landscape I thought. First I wanted to make him more mechanical with bolts etc., but that’s still too difficult for me. I love the digital drawings with added colours that some of you sent here.

Would it be a safe assumption that the direction of the minor axis of the brow to ear ellipse will be the same as the head tilt?

This was a bit tricky. I’m not so sure about that “X”, but it is a start. I thought about putting some shading to it, but I decided to leave it be. I might work with it in Procreate or Affinity.

My first attempt playing around with the melted pancakes idea in Procreate.

I am really enjoying this lesson. It inspired me to pull out George Bridgman’s book, The Human Machine. I drew a few of the drawings from the book. I drew a couple of Asaro heads in slightly different perspective views. The Asaro head can be found on Sketchfab. One of them, I somewhat joined the mechanical neck drawing from the Bridgman book. The head at the bottom right was drawn from the Bridgman book, combining the head to the neck mechanism drawings using a bit of imagination. Thinking of modern mechanical parts, I pulled up an image of a pneumatic machine part and played around with the idea of a pneumatic mechanical jaw. I have attached the picture that I referenced. I drew 4 images as the perspective was a bit off on the first two on the right side bottom. I imagine that I will be coming back to this lesson a lot. Thanks a lot for the inspiring lesson.

I got Affinity Photo and Designer last week mainly for the posterize feature as it is so much cheaper than Photoshop. Now, I am going to have to figure out if Affinity can do this? My profile picture was actually done playing around with the posterize feature on Affinity Photo.

The Zolly app is fantastic! I need to work on the perspective of basic shapes and this app is perfect for that. I have been drawing cubes using the app. Also, I made use of the 3D model airplane. Two very useful tools! I have attached 3 sheets of practice. On the page with the model plane, I utilized one of the early lessons by roughing out the plane at the bottom left corner.
