First draw along and test the concepts, then some practice and try out more. After the blobs with objects, now the pancakes opens up a new way into environments and backgrounds. Awesome 😃. This whole approach is so helpful, focusing first on developing the creative intuitive side.

This was fun for the most part. I tried messing around and cutting/ scooping out mass from these forms. What confused me the most were forms (like the one circled in the second image) where the bottom plane touches the floor, under the horizon line, and the top plane ends over the horizon line. I don't know why, but it just looks weird to me. (I mean, a lot of stuff kinda looks weird in this, but especially those kind of forms.)

Fun to see all the activity in here :), here myself adding some stuff to a plane doing a very loosely A-10 based plane to turn around. Has to remind myself to be sure to check constistency within the basic three sets of lines. Proportions...ah, well..

Thank you for the demo, it feels so well timed! It's really interesting to see what we're currently learning extended in this way.

Gave the plane a go, and after an embarrassing start it took of somewhat. Then moving on to the primitives and basic objects from the zolly app. Fumbling with the spheres and unexpectedly also with the cones. But going from blob->cylinder->box->cone to reason out, especially with foreshortening, made it clearer. Guess the few descriptive lines and connections makes it all the more so important with what's there in order to specify the forms and plane change. Then more primitive forms from the zolly app, with the sun chair not being my proudest accomplishment 😬 but also moving on with some improvement with the other objects. But either way, the brain cells was making some more connections i think. And while trying it out it opens up ways to go about it, as well as putting a light on problems to solve and creating a desire for learning more.

Copy that.

Lesson day is happy day😄👍🏻 . First watch and draw along for better knowledge infusion, then work it out and get some mileage. Next perhaps some variations on the theme would be the way to go🙂

Well, not quite on par with Marshals challenge and cause for celebration... 😄 and also with proportions and vanishing points off. But as a starting point anyway and I feel quite excited about it. I’m somewhat versed in drawing from observation, but when drawing from imagination the pen has hardly to touch the paper before I tear myself down not getting it right. And oh man how awesome wouldn’t it be, feeling free being able to throw more complex things down and turn it around on the page like in some of the examples. And I’m surprised as to how well the blob approach is working for different types of objects, being able to pin down shape and orientation in steps like that. First general coverage and placement with the blob, then feeling out orientation with the contour lines and perhaps an axis or two and then add in a main box in line with this and adjusting perspective.

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.

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.
