added comment inDemo - Simplify Snail and Boots to CSI
This turned out better than I expected but after watching the demo I see differences in the approach I’ll consider going forward. Still working on my straight lines too. Boots are next.

This is perfect! Good luck with the boots 👍

Here are mine, a problem I noticed I've struggled with is that I tend to draw too quickly, I actually drew the untimed one in 20 min (which is why the 25 min one actually looks better). Should I take a breath before putting a line down lol? Other than that I really enjoyed doing this project and I'll try to slow down some more...
Any tips would be appreciated:)

Some ideas I learned from Patrick Jones that have really benefitted my process are that every line is a thought and to work at the rate of your thoughts. It's not about arbitrarily doing something in a set amount of time -- if you think fast by all means work fast. Drawing is an interactive experience that requires you to be fully present and moving with purpose.
The timed studies are a great challenge and force you to focus on communicating the most important parts. You still want to work at the speed of your thoughts, so the adjustment to distill information rather than rushing to get lots of information down quickly.
Just my two cents. These turned out great 👍 Keep it up!

I really like the way tapered lines look and can see them making my pictures looking better already, although finding it difficult to do them consistently!

Looks awesome! It's okay if you don't pull a tapered stroke every time just yet. It will come with practice. Keep it up!

I had a lot of free time at work this week so I finally got around to doing this assignment. However that means I was working with whatever paper I could find lol. I actually enjoyed this tho. I definitely should have put more stuff in the 2nd picture but all in all I think it was a productive session

I really like these. The woodshop scene is really cool, and it's impressive you put the poster in perspective. I did notice that the cabinet is clipping the wall a bit in the first image, so just be mindful of that. Overall, great job!

Nice work, Darren. This is nearly perfect. The only thing I noticed is that the bottom of the back projection of the R's isn't consistent with the rest of the letters. A tiny fix -- this looks great, and I like the colors you chose!

I try to make long movements with my arm and as spontaneously as possible.
•

Really nice! This idea will be covered a bit later in this course, but looking for rhythms in the pose can help you really practice those long movements from the shoulder, and help create cohesion in your drawings. And as usual, using a variety of CSI is great for creating visual interest.
Keep up the sketches, these are looking great!

Here is my most recent stuff, as well as the assignment work I posted in the previous video which is a few days old, more carefully done, yet perhaps less confident as I am noticing mistakes. If anyone else is having trouble with intuiting perpendicular angles from all sort of viewer positions like I am, the transparent forms found on Amazon are a lifesaver - you can look through them to see the way axes progress in any type of rotation or tilt.

Great suggestion with the transparent forms and great assignments 👏

I deviated a bit from the instructions and first took some time drawing each of the eight models from reference and breaking them down into simpler parts. This helped a lot in understanding how the pieces fit together to make the whole.
Not sure if this is “cheating” but I’m just much better at memorizing things when I can understand patterns and connections than random lists or shapes.
I then came back to do the assignment and spent a minute studying each object as a refresh before doing games 1 and 2 from memory. The angle changes were completed from imagination on a blank canvas without referring to reference or the game 1 drawing.

That's a great way to go about this assignment. It makes perfect sense that understanding how the parts of the object interact and function together would help you visually memorize the object and help you draw them from different angles. Keep doing what you're doing!
