One area where I can at least excell in quantity if not quality. These other sketches put mine to shame. But I do try and fill up sketchbooks fast. This book I filled from 10/8-11/14. I try to watch sketching videos and imitate people I admire like Kim Jung Gi, Peter Han, or Karl Kopinski. I like experimenting with different materials and paper. I like iterating on similar themes and doing comfortable drawings to warm up.

well you do exercise the imagination and isn't that the most valuable thing! Also, these are nice as is and how cool will it be when you start turning the creatures with form in full perspective 😀

Not too much action here in the assignments sections, but hope there are others taking the class though, these assignments feels really useful :) Seems so obvious upon presentation but actually having to do the stuff on paper can be a challenge, especially with the rounded objects. Took an occasional intermission with zbrush also on this one. Using live booleans on primitive shapes, this while staring intently to see and to get a better sense of how they interact when moving them around, and also to check if I had gotten it right. But didn't copy from the screen, tried around first on paper and then went for a drag and stare session and then went back to the exercises.

Literal mind bender :), tried to visualize and draw from imagination from start. But also looked around and found a block of a spongy insulation material to bend and especially twist to get a sense of how the contour lines goes. To take a break and just look and ponder upon at times, then back to the drawing board again.

marching on :), three point felt the wierdest, easy to put the vanishing point to close

Nice with the framing with approach, mindset and reason for the excercise. Now then to get this into daily habit. Neither overdoing nor skipping it but just doing it in a moderate sense and with some variations and see what happens over time :). Not after perfect designer lines, rather beeing more comfortable all over without spinning the page. Also doing it going back and forth, backtracking same line in both directions, to free upp the ability. This also for it to carry over into painting, when it's cumbersome/not doable rotating the canvas

Took some humility to draw cylinders for an hour but glad I did it. Very good practice and helps a lot with making the perspective intuitive. I feel like I restricted my notional vanishing points to the scope of the page, and I realize now that if I had expanded the horizon line beyond the page I could have created a greater variety of perspectives.

Nice :), but seems you did same mistake as I did in one perspective, making ellipses for the cylinder caps. They are all seen full on and kept as circles in 1-point perspective.

Starting out here and I can see that third part will require that box practice and a redo. But suggestion about all parts are still welcome (although given the course age and lack of responses below, I'm not raising my hopes up)

Seems really good over all :), some ellipses here and there on 1 and 3 seems a bit flattened/pinched. On 3, the two above horizon on the left seems off. The sides are parallell and don't extend to vanishing point on horizon. Same with the one in the middle, the diagonal smaller one.

Really good excercise! Thought I knew this but blew the 2nd straight away by making ellipses, ignoring the absolut basics of one point perspective. Glad I realized it though and went at it again it with straight on circles for cylinder caps. Then got brain freeze on starting the 3rd and did as suggested, starting with boxes to lock in the cylinders. To sort it out in my head and to get it better, then made a go at it again.

Didn't really know what to do at first having tried the connected cubes from the lesson, but then started to think about it and to fiddle around. And as was mentioned in class, also good practice just getting to grips with the rulers to be quicker with the lines. And using the Lightbox and doing the iterative approach. Also ordered some vellum, but it's still to arrive.

Yes it sure was 😀👍🏻, and a remainder to why it's worth doing this art thing in the first place! And good to get things in, oh well...in perspective. Reminding me to also try and play around with the content and to develop other art muscles and creativity together with whatever fun exercises that will be presented through out the course.

Thanks Pär B. I'll try to nod toward the other disciplines as we go. We have so much work ahead on this craft that it's nice to remember why we're doing it. Each of these artists seemed motivated by something more that perspective served.
