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.

I did a lot of small ideas, with a similar process using the grid option (attached below). I liked the idea of the pieces floating and worked up two versions. In both cases I started with the top, front and side view. phew made the deadline :)

Attempts during a week. 1st pic is the latest, just try to see how the grid works and the effect of it. 2nd -4th pics are attempts that I am not so sure if that s the top view demonstrating. All of them are based on 1 top view. But it seems like we need to include all cutting and bevel info in the top view if I did all those cutting, when I scroll through others' submission? Or it s just personal preference? Anyway in the 4th pics, 11-13 are more like the ' right ' way of doing orthos? More importantly, I am having fun and this is a part of my submission. I did the airplane one focusing on designing the side view and let the top view be static, but didn't have time to do the 3/4 view. They will probably be very difficult though...

Hello folks, Here's my submission. Before I got started, I thought I'll draw out the orthos first and then make the oblique view but I got so paranoid about potentially getting the oblique view wrong in terms of receding lines and vanishing points that I went the other way around.

This assignment was quite fun to do! It definitely made me better at freehanding boxes of different sizes in 3D space.

I chose to only go with the 9 squares one because it seemed to be the most interesting to me in terms of creative possibilites. Freehanded all of them, the first ones with pencil sketches first and the last ones directly in ink, which forced me to be very aware of each stroke I put on the paper while I was thinking of the shapes in my head. This was definitely a great brain exercice, felt really like solving puzzles to me. Very enjoyable!

Struggling with orthos here. I wanted to see if I understood but clearly don't. I sketched a freehand wall with flower basket and it's bracket (from imagination) obique view, Then drew a Top View and Side View but got into a knot trying to work out how to connect the Obilque View to them. Any suggestion would be great ? :) :(

A few copies from the video for warmup, and then a few actual tries from the given template. Had to clean up lots of construction lines, because too many just makes it unreadable.

This had to be one of the most fun assignments yet in the course. I spent practically most of my afternoon on this one. Coming up with fun, creative ideas from the prompts from both the video and the reference photo. The most fun part was coming up with the crazy ideas I had for this one from all the different prompts. I plan on doing more of these and will try to post them when I draw them out tomorrow. I am not quite sure if I ever got mine Right-Angled, though. It was very hard for me to figure that part out as I drew these. I also went mostly freehand on these and did some with my trusty handy ruler. I had no idea how many different ways we could create brand new stuff using these templates. It was such grand fun. It actually got me an idea from this assignment to work on my own minimalized puzzle game since I'm a self learning GameDev on the side. This was a complete blast. Hope anyone likes these. It also took me quite a while to figure out how to put the cubes and the front-facing cube in different positions. I love puzzles like these. I hope there's more in the future.
