Blocks.... better late than never...

I really enjoyed the process for this assignment. I could do it all day. I liked thinking about different way to interpret other sides based on just a top view and then rotating the objects in my mind and drawing them from different angles.

The diagonals in the last picture were really challenging, especially the ones closer to me and more hidden.

Here’s a few that I did from the three orthos in the assignment. Not sure I got the different view orthos correct. It was interesting to do them after the3d versions.

Still playing catch-up

I know, these are not the fanciest ones. But as simple as they look, it required quiet some time drawing them. In any case it is fun doing it.

Late again, but I am catching up :). I wanted to use a little bit the freedom I was given, since the given puzzles were always from one perspective only. So I put in some cats. There is one cat though that should appear on the assignment puzzles so I guess a little mistake happened on your end Marshall :D. Just kidding. Great exercise!

A bit late with this assignment, but it was really fun.

This really is like doing a puzzle. And it took way longer than I thought, the time just flew by doing this. I was I bit unsure about how to interpreted the orthos. Like is the line you see in the ortho only the visible ones or do you see trough it? I went with that you see trough it because that seams to be the case in the examples for this assignment. But then that introduces a new problem which I noticed in the last one I did (down in the right corner). I don't know how to indicate the carved out parts because the lines that would indicate them share lines with other parts... although I realize now that I probably should have erased the outer lines in the top view where the carved out bits are... which mean the object I did is not actually represented by the first ortho, which was the goal... Although lets say I would have put a floating box under each carved out part than the ortho would be okay and actually be representing this object and then the problem is still there, how to you indicate the carved out parts? I'm not sure if I make sense with this. I had a lot of thoughts while doing this but actually putting it down in writing and make sense of them is not that easy.

Hello everyone! This assignment was definitely a challenge for me. I don't know why, but I struggled haha I can imagine and sketch a 3D shape based on the ortho pretty easily (I think). But as soon as I try to think with vanishing points and accuracy and all that, I panic! I didn't know how to give the drawing the right depth in perspective. But I didn't give up and ended up making a grid because that was the only way I could get things right. And it helped! Something clicked in my little brain lol and now I understand why it is so useful to draw boxes in perspective and why it helps when it comes to drawing from imagination. I'll keep practicing this :) This assignment was so interesting. When I started this course I never thought I would enjoy drawing boxes for hours and hours and yet I couldn't stop 😂 Thank you Marshall and Proko team for making such a fun course! (sorry if my explanations make no sense, english is not my 1st language)

Hi Marshall! This was a really interesting exercise/brain teaser. I chose two of the provided ortho templates and invented a number of 3d forms, working over a sheet of isometric graph paper. Overall, I'm pretty satisfied with the results. This is also a great way to practice my technical skill with pencil and pen (I have shaky hands...)

I gotta admit, I was planning on doing at least 2 of each from the template but damn I underestimated how challenging and time consuming this would be. Still overall, it was satisfying to clean up all the lines and make the final 3-D image of the ortho

well at first I could not get my head around drawing these. But then I took out my children’s Lego’s and tried some of the them. I did couple to understand and then it was easier. Here are my interpretations.

I'm having trouble seeing the side view of the patterns assigned to the assignment. So I reviewed the views explained in the video. I can see the value in all these lessons. They are puzzles for sure.

Here’s a stab at one of Marshall’s top view plans. Can get quite inventive but need to not have all the action in top layers so base layers can still be relevant to the view. Good mental exercises 🤯

Kept it simple. The second and third pages are my preliminary drawings.

Template time! I originally was thinking how I could retro fit it into making a robot... and then quickly reminded myself to keep it simple, so here's a kind of a blocky outline of what could one day be a robot... maybe.
