I’m a wanna be artist that wants to learn properly by starting with the basics. Learn to take time, loosen up and enjoy the process.

After doing one following along with the video, repeated the process by not looking at the previous one.

I was only able to do this one from level 2. Already posted the Level 1 assignments before.
It was really hard not to do shading in the 5 value notan.

These are looking great. The values are clean and the shapes are well designed.

First, I worked on understanding perspective better since I still find it hard to visualize. I did a few sketches to study the object and get a better feel for it. Then, I tried the exercise without looking at my earlier drawings and simplified the shape to match the assignment.
I decided to use a pen instead of a pencil so I couldn’t erase my mistakes. This way, I can see them clearly, remember what went wrong, and figure out how to improve. When I erase mistakes, I tend to forget them and make the same ones again, so keeping them visible really helped me learn.
Now that I saw Marshall’s new video on”the blob approach to form” I saw the amount of mistakes I did with the 3 point perspective drawings 🤦🏻♀️

This one was really hard for me. It is not easy to do perspective. I get so confused. Wanted to do some distortions to the houses but i did not know what to do.

You did great! The perspective on the branches and houses looks excellent!
If you need some help distorting the buildings, you could think of them less like buildings and more like characters. This can influence the design.

I didn’t finish the drawing or was accurate on proportions, perspective and shading to be able to finish in 30min. But it was fun, will do a few more for this challenge.

It took me more than 2 hours to do this and I had to correct the proportions so many times :/ and it still is off on the right side of the face.
