Another challenging assignment! These are my best examples. I struggle with line dyslexia although I understand the purpose of drawing through. (I apologize if the size is too large when I post. I'm trying to figure out how to change that.

Drawing from imagination is very challenging for me. Paying close attention to the X, Y, Z axes made it possible. I had what I wanted in mind and made the "plans" then drew the oblique view.

Here's my attempt with a satellite radio receiver in a bracket. Looking at it now, I can see where I missed with the back 'knob-screw' thing.

Excellent, Sarah!

I was surprised this assignment was so difficult for me as I did this all the time in my middle school years! My struggle came when I was trying to draw the letter further back. Once I started, line dyslexia kicked in, and I became frustrated. Intellectually, I understand why it needs to be there but I went more intuitively, to get it on the paper. I did a single letter with colored sides just to try to figure it out. Drawing 1-D from reference does not frustrate me as drawing from construction. I will be practicing more 1-D construction.

I enjoyed Melted Pancakes, and have more done but they are far too messy to post. I like the way I'm learning to combine organic and geometric. Great warm up exercise for me!

My other Level 1 value studies.

Here is my Level 1 A value studies. I noticed the mood of the portrait changed with the change in value composition. I'll post Level 1 B here later. (It's been nearly a year since I posted but I have been following along. I am trying to overcome my messiness!)

Nice start! Thanks for sharing!
Sarah NP
I can see I need more practice keeping the proportions when I switch to drawing from imagination/memory.
Marshall Vandruff
A worthy self-diagnosis, Sarah. But you are onto a good start.

Thank you, Peter Han for sharing your sketchbooks! I'm awestruck!
