Let’s draw a monster truck! In this level 1 demo, I’ll show you how I would approach drawing wheels on vehicles.

Here are some post-video attempts. Still messy but, I think they’re better.

Here’s my follow along of the video.

My attempts after watching the demo. The tractor obviously needs work, but surprisingly, the truck doesn't seem too bad.

Second attempt after the demo is a “tractor”

Another try -my fault was to think that all parts should have the same horizon, so now I eyeballed the back wheel and the rest and finished the drawing with Procreate. Maybe it is not correct (the back wheel shouldn't be that big) but I'm glad I finished this assignment at last.

Monstertruck wheels…. I did not see how to approach the construction of those fat wheel ellipses. There is something I still don’t see and I don’t know what - but I think I solved a little bit of the puzzle.

If the wheels are not turned then the minor axis lies along the axle. Stan did say this and used it throughout the video but it was something that I did not get at first and it was a huge "aha" moment for me so I wanted to make that explicit. Maybe someone else can learn from my many perspective struggles.

Ladytruck III. I spent the most time constructing this one so I think it’s a little better.

I’m still struggling but it’s getting clearer. Some of my wheel ellipses still seem wonky but I’m closer to getting the wheels in the right place. I have to send a shout out to Rachel Dawn Owen’s for help with that!!! Thanks again, Rachel.

This is getting a bit easier but I doubt I’ll get to level 2 any time soon. My big Q right now is how to determine the inside and outside of the wheels (without a reference.) I’m having trouble doing that intuitively.

I used a muscle car as a reference. I am excited to keep growing in perspective. I use to cringe at myself trying to do this on my own thanks Stan for all the good information I really appreciate it. Got a lot more I will upload

This is really a box question.
I'm posting it here, as for me it'll help me understand the foundation
box at the beginning of the monster truck.
I looked at earlier videos but didn't resolve my issue.
When you get to the end of the video you ghost in the back of the box (truck) to include the Cylindrical unit ( Turbo Fan). I tried to copy this to the box posted below but it didn't look right. I kept rubbing out the lines as it just looked odd.
I thought I'd draw the 3 point ? initial box and Ghost in the back of the box.
No matter how I ghost it in, it looks weird.
Adding the ghost lines also seems to change the illusion of how I see the box from beneath.
Can anyone advise how to go about this.
It could be that my starting 3point box is wrong ?
Thanks

My last attempt to do the demo, for now. I still got very confused while executing this.

Edit
I think (clunk clunk)
Re - Z-Axis - 15.40 mins into Video.
So the Z-Axis is the same as the minor axis ( wheel Axial) ?

I also Tried Many times to Redraw it again … A very difficult lesson. I did not reach the same result
