Trying to free hand these is such a pain but still I'm satisfied by how these turned out😁

Yeah my biggest problem is rushing through the process despite knowing that whatever tutorial,lesson etc i'm watching is sped up and trying to mimic that unrealistic speed which inevitably leads tooo so many mistakes and that leads to even more time fixing them. i'll try to think before making a mark on the page and slow down things a bit. this was really helpful👍

Hello, for this assignment I started with a matchbox, something very simple that would help me understand my frequent mistakes. Then I moved on to a ceramic house and finally to a mouse, which was not easy at all. While making them, I watched the following video, The Blob Approach, and tried to apply that method to the mouse.

Hi, Please feel free to have a browse through some of my drawings and feedback is always welcome! I'm going to ramble on a bit with my experience with this assignment. This was a whole lot of fun, although it did take me a while to get through! I spent roughly a day on each page, except for the planes which took longer. I found that drawing very boxy shapes like my cat eared note holder, toy train and earphones case were not too difficult to draw. They felt very much like drawing simple boxes with a few little marks here and there to show a change in form. the clock was much more challenging as I was turning a cylinder into a box and that kept throwing me off from getting the positioning of the alarm bells right. it was also really difficult to figure out how I wanted to rotate those alarm bells so I settled for just having them float on top of the main body and focussed instead on the perspective of the simpler forms. Finally, the planes! I took these on as a challenge after watching Peter Han draw his train! It was a lot of fun and I noticed a shift in how I look at objects from "this is a plane" to "this is a war plane designed to be light, fast and powerful. it needs to mount its guns here..." and so on. that part was fun! getting the perspective right was much more challenging though! I'm finding that trying to fit multiple boxes in the same world and make them look like they're aligned is so much more challenging than drawing individual boxes. And the scaffolding of perspective lines can be really easy to get lost in if I'm not focussed. this was also my first time using tracing paper and though I liked how clean my results ended up, It did make me realise that i quite liked the charm of having some underlying construction lines. anyways, lots of learning and lots of realising how much i have yet to learn! I will do my best to get my future assignments done in time for the critique :)

Work has been hectic lately so couldn't find time to do these assignments on time,but i still want to share these with the community!,i like how some of these turned out and some not but i don't know how to do orthographic constructions that well so i hoping i will get a grasp of them in the future lessons😁

I've seen this being implemented in draw-box,dynamic sketching,industrial drawings and some other courses out there and have to say my line quality,pen and arm control has improved tremendously after doing this for a year or so and doing these simple warm-ups for like 10min a day like Peter mentioned really does help!.Even using a fineliner instead of pencil from time to time really promotes the mindset of "think before you make a mark" and getting over the fear of doing bad drawings! So I would definitely recommend this to everyone!

I did my level best and tried to keep them simple with straight lines and not over complicating for now!(I haven't drawn straight lines in a while so they're a bit jancky here and there😅)

I always love Marshall's pen&ink horse drawings!!!,even his simple sketches in his sketch book look like fully rendered pieces.

I have a question about this piece. In the video Marshall points out a vanishing point as the boxes forming the lozenge shape move away from us. I understood from this that our eyeline runs horizontally through that point. Why is it that the top plane of the chimney isn’t visible when it’s below the eyeline? I think I’m not understanding something Thanks!
