I love to draw - I mostly work digitally because I am so messy. I'm looking to level up my skills, and hope to get to a point where I can sell prints!

I found this gold dust this morning! I've just had a brief look but feel like it's related to the orthos assignment so will try and study it... Wanted to share in case any one else is into this kind of thing and hasn't found it yet!

Okay…. I bit off way more than I could chew and got all in a muddle. But hey, it was fun. I think counting the non mistakes might be harder!

Okay this one nearly killed me. I'm going to have another go at the back ortho because I tried to do lines to describe the shapes and then I realised afterwards I probably should have done cross contours to describe the forms... But I'd already used ink and it would have been a mess. I guess it's already a mess but nevermind!

Tried a mix of things, measured and intuitive. A bit embarrassed about getting lost and off centre in some places but at least we are beginning to feel it out more. The car is a 3d model, the deodorant is my own observing from real life and the violin is a mix of both. (I did these with a migraine so my apologies for the errors that shouldn’t exist. I’ll be cleaner from here on)

I thought I'd warm up with something nice and easy... Like a couple of simple pieces of Duplo... This assignment is mostly just blowing my mind with how much I take these tiny simple objects for granted.
Started with the front back and side planes pencilling then fine lining those. Then I did the bottom plane thinking I'd get that over with - should have properly planned and pencilled in those circles before inking! Top plane was better planned and placed but I'm sure the proportions are probably off.
Good fun

Ortho study of a pencil sharpener
Drawings like these make me realise how complicated such a tiny little object I wouldn't look twice at is... Newfound appreciation for sharpeners...

I did this one twice. First freehand then using a 30-60-90 triangle to measure and get more accurate lines. I wasn’t sure how to draw curved shapes like the handle when seen as the cross section, so I just did the largest outer shape.
And a last study 🤗
It is an old piggy bank that my mother have absolutely love it since I am a child
👋🏻
Such a cute piggy, these are great drawings. I think in the side view you wouldn't be able to see the back legs as they are lined up with the front (side) ones.

Hi Ayesha, these look good! In the one with the folding table I'm pretty sure your front view is in perspective though. Because you can see where the back table legs attach to the floor whereas they should be in line (behind) the one at the front I think! That was the only thing I noticed that looked off, well done :)
Hi Marshall,
I’m excited to share my orthos study assignment for the perspective course! I chose an old coffee pot as my subject to practice breaking down complex curves, ellipses, and proportions into simplified orthographic views.
This exercise really pushed me to analyze spatial relationships and alignment, especially with the pot’s angled spout and handle.
I will do more studies like this one 👍🏻✨
Bye

Ok, found a new perspective rule: if you've made a mess, take the golden pen out and you'll see it less.
