I'm back drawing again after a few months. So far, not awesome, but I'm just happy to get back to sketching.

Going to attempt level two later. Despite how it looks, this is after many redos, especially on 6 and 8. Hardest part besides figuring how the initial angles were the really small top or bottom parts. It's usually where my boxes become the most uneven.

Was absolutely frightened of my linework, so I tried to keep it as loose as possible to... I guess to avoid commitments? I just wasn't confident I was getting the perspective right. Loosely based on my bedroom.

Good work! The great thing about 1-point perspective is that as long as you're sticking with boxes, you can draw your lines with 100% confidence: every line is either completely vertical, completely horizontal, or radiating out from the vanishing point. If you're lost and wondering where a line should go, just remember that you are restricted to these 3 options. If you want to add a non-boxy element to your drawing (like an oval rug or a headboard), start with a bounding box first to capture its dimensions, then subtract from it to get the object you want. Looking at your image again I think you do a good job of following perspective. What's missing from your room is the room itself. This makes your furniture look like it's floating in space. If you choose to do the exercise again, watch the part of Stan's video where he builds the room itself, then start with establishing the back wall, side walls, ceiling, and floor. This is the foundation on which all of the other elements will rest.

Decided to try out rendering on a master study I was working on. Really enhanced the drawing!

My lines were super hairy and messy, and the proportions were off at first, but over time, my fears decreased, my overcorrecting decreased, and I think my lines benefitted.

The more I do this exercise, the more fun it becomes! I'm surprised because previous exercises frustrated me instantly, haha.
