I'm at a total loss concerning the two attempts I circled in red. In the one on the left I tried to create a "rubber torso"--a 360-degree twist, but I simply cannot get my head around it. Somehow I'm completely blocked. If I had playdough in the house I'd have made a model, but I don't. Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks! It finally clicked--what a relief.

Sorry, I had uploaded the pix before writing the note. Here I'm only attaching the sheet with the problem sketches.

It's much harder than I thought--while I was doing it, it all made perfect sense, but now that I'm done, not so much. . . .

It all made perfect sense when Stan demonstrated it, and it looked so easy. But somehow it doesn't work all that well in my attempts, and I'm not sure why.

Clearly, something is profoundly wrong here. But why is it not working?
Head boxes (only level 1) I drew after watching Stan's demo.

Here are my first attempts at head boxes. I'll wait for Stan's demo before I do more (many more) of them.

Morning y'all. HELP PLEASE!! SO... 1 point Perspective w/ VP at right. This one is harder I think, it took me a while, & i'm still not sure if it's right. What do yall think? Looking at it here, the refrigerator is slanted. Should've looked at the pict sooner to double check. Oh well
8mo
This is not 1-point perspective but should be 2-point perspective: in 1-point perspective the boxes face the viewer head-on, but in this drawing they are slanted with respect to the viewer.

My attempt at the assignment, but something seems really off, i can't point my finger on what

I think most of it is correct, but the z-axis of the bottom of armoire on the left and the bottom z-axis of the chest of drawers on the right don't go toward the vanishing point, which makes the two pieces a bit wobbly. The problem is probably that the vanishing point is outside of the picture.

I have an urgent request: I'M STILL STRUGGLING WITH CHECKING MY PROPORTIONS. YOU'RE A TERRIFIC TEACHER, BUT THE 10-SECOND EXPLANATION OF HOW TO USE THE MULTIPLE LAYER FEATURE IN PHOTOSHOP WAS SERIOUSLY LACKING. I DON'T USE PHOTOSHOP BUT AFFINITY PHOTO AND STILL HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO TRANSLATE YOUR INSTRUCTIONS INTO AFFINITY LOGIC. PLEASE SPEND TWO MINUTES ON THIS! MANY THANKS.
