added comment inProject - Gestural Torso Boxes
Asked for help
Level One, before watching demo videos. Great exercise, very challenging. In some cases I ghosted in a 'straight' box and then drew the twisted shape over the top, that helped me to figure out where to place corners etc. On some of the forms, that had a lot of rotation, I had trouble working out the placement of the contour lines as they disappeared and reappeared from view.

Level 1, pre demo video. I drew one warm up house and a retro gas station. Fun to come up with some ideas and try to put them on the page

Level 1 before watching the demo.
1. Warm up blobs
2. Ginger roots
3. Koi and Seal
I know my pictures may not reflect this, but I've had a real light bulb moment with these last two lessons. I'm finally able to 'see' the 2d form as a 3d (or potential) 3d shape and I understand how to rotate it and move it backwards and forwards in and out of the page.
I've still got a way to go before what is in my sketchbook looks like it does in my head, but I feel like there has been an 'achievement unlocked'.
Thanks to Stan, and the rest of the Proko team, for creating lessons that break these difficult concepts down into achievable goals!

That is a wonderful reflection of your experience @Scott N. So glad to her about your lightbulb moment. This is also how I experience breakthroughs -- once you mentally grasp a concept, it takes some time for you technical skills to catch up. Keep up the great work!

Level 1, before watching demo video. I still don't fully understand the placement of the major axis, so I couldn't quite get the curvature of the ellipses right, that then threw out the projection of the wheels. Also, for my boxes, I often draw some of the lines converging or diverging when they should be doing the opposite. Having said all of that, I really enjoyed drawing vehicles and will practice some more after watching the demo.

Level 1 before watching demo. I did a few attempts of number 2 and 3 but still couldn't get the rotations right, especially on 3!

First attempt before watching Demo. Apologies for the numbering being out of sequence on the pictures. I use an A3 sketch book and I can't take a picture of the whole page at once. Also I draw to lightly. Great challenge, I think I'm starting to get the idea but, as always, I will practice more after I watch the demo video!
good stuff. I skimmed through it and noticed a few things instantly
- Some of your edges don't converge (1,2,7,11)
- I noticed that when you draw the bottom plane of a box, you tend to converge your line very strong (15, 17, 12) which does not align with the other 2 lines converging
- Try to capture the width-to-height relationship of the head in your box. Sometimes I feel like you just drew the box without considering the height and width (3, 19)
If you want me to draw over them just shoot me a message. I am not an expert by any means but if it helps you I am glad to assist

I had a lot of fun with this assignment. I drew a lounge room with a kind of mid-century vibe (bar, record player etc). The sink is placed so it would end up behind the door when opened. My lines got wobbly when I was drawing the smaller lines or when not 100% confident with the placement of things.
