I wish these episodes had come sooner. I did some warm-up studies and redid this exercise. I also applied some deformations from the earlier exercises.
Additionally, I reviewed how to construct a perfect ellipse and added the process below. I realized I had always used the wrong intersection point when constructing it in detail. I've highlighted the correct blue intersection points here.

Let's see how well I can draw from memory. First, I'll show you how to add and subtract 3D primitives to build complex objects. Then, I'll take a few minutes to observe a 3D model of a whistle, put the model away, and try to recreate it from memory.
I feel like this project and the explanations of how to improve visual memory are a game changer. Super helpful.

Multiple attempts of the whistle from memory from the same angle. Trying to subtracting form, and adding form is interesting it was very difficult for me. But I think I'll keep at it cause it helps me with the shapes
Substraction looks solid, but there are problems with the perspective. The lines need to converge away from the viewer, meaning they need to get closer the farther away from the viewer they get. Check out how in your drawing the distance A is larger than the distance B. A should be smaller than B, because it is farther away.
I added an example with stronger perspective. Notice how distance C is smaller than distance D.
Here’s my attempt. I learned the subtraction technique then made an attempt before watching Stan’s. The third and firth pictures are my attempt at the second game.
My attempts on the whistle and sledgehammer. The whistle turned out okay, but the octagonal faces of the sledgehammer were a bit of a challenge.
Hey! I did this a few weeks back, but haven’t had the time to post or kept forgetting, but here we are lol. This was a pretty fun lesson, but I did have some trouble with the shapes and memorizing the 3D references. Tell me what I need to improve on. Have a great day!
Stan thanks for the whistle demo.
I'd never thought of creating a visual library.
I'd be interested to understand how you'd draw the whistle
where the ball is reasonably visible. I suppose the ball would be more a shading
object (not sure) . The whistle ball is quite complex looking with small
domes on it and it's small.
Any suggestions would be great.

Personally I would just simplify it to a ball. And if i wanted the details of the domes I would just intuitively draw them. The only way to make the domes feel like they are raised is with cross contour lines (or shading).

The thing about memory is it solidifies more when you can make more associations - such as when Stan referenced "a deck of cards" when trying to remember a specific proportion. Watching things like "How its Made" can help you remember the forms of objects. Tying manufacturing, functionality, and appearance altogether. If you can make a song, limerick, poem, mnemonic.
Basically, the more you play the more it will stay.

Watch things like "How It's Made" is just all-around good advice :D
