You can get a ton of free high quality 3D asset scans from quixel.com to use for this memory game.
You'll need to make an unreal engine epic games account and snag them before 2025. Epic is going to put them behind a paywall after 2025 but if you "purchase" them now(for free) then you'll have them available to you forever.
This video shows you how to do it.

There is also the base mesh:

I hope all the introductory videos on materials and stuff are dropped all upfront(or better yet, a bit early) so when October 1st comes we can all hit the ground running. That way we also aren't sitting around waiting for an *additional* week or three just to get get some perspective material and assignments.

Thanks so much for the critiques! It definitely inspired me to continue practicing the 8-step method. I have a question about proportions when drawing a head at an extreme upward or downward angle. When drawing an extreme upward angle, the distance between the base of the nose and chin appears bigger than the distance between the base of the nose and the brow. The opposite seems to be true when it's an extreme downward angle. Also, the amount of underside of the brow that's visible varies a lot between upward and downward angles. Are there some rules-of-thumb that help map out these proportions?

The thing about memory is it solidifies more when you can make more associations - such as when Stan referenced "a deck of cards" when trying to remember a specific proportion. Watching things like "How its Made" can help you remember the forms of objects. Tying manufacturing, functionality, and appearance altogether. If you can make a song, limerick, poem, mnemonic.
Basically, the more you play the more it will stay.

Is there going to be another project and critque? I ask because the estimated number of videos is 20.

I found trying to match the angle from memory harder than inventing my own angle. It was easier for me to just focus on remembering the proportions.
If I had more time I would have done study drawings of the blowtorch and meat grinder first. Those were a lot to try to memorize all at once in just a few minutes.
I went through and wrote down everything I could see I got wrong or missed entirely after I did each drawing.
I used ballpoint pen and really struggled with some lines.

I just purchased his perspective series on his website the one where he uses a chalk Board, I want to invest into this course as well, but what’s the difference between this perspective course and the one from the 90s, I got to be financially responsible with my money
