Marshall Vandruff
The blob approach simplifies drawing form by starting with loose shapes, building depth, and refining perspective.

It’s been great looking at everyone’s homework for this. Lots of great work, and very helpful to see the range of different subjects and approaches. Anyway, I followed Marshall’s advice and just focused on very simple things. Baby steps, I guess.

Here we are distilling the wisdom of this lesson into blobs. I experimented further with the blob approach, starting by dividing the blob shape into a black and white side to better understand its orientation. It's been fun trying to connect the perspective knowledge from earlier to this exercise! I created some progress charts to illustrate my thought process—maybe they'll be helpful for you!

Playing with blobs and boxes, cross contour lines and scooping out. For some reason I find the transition from blob to box harder than just 3D-fying blobs on their own and then drawing a corresponding boxy shapes. It's like I can't 'see' the box inside/on top of the blob.
Andres Rojas
That’s interesting, I think it’s easier for me to imagine the box after drawing the blob rather than skipping straight to the box.

Lesson day is happy day😄👍🏻 . First watch and draw along for better knowledge infusion, then work it out and get some mileage. Next perhaps some variations on the theme would be the way to go🙂

First attempt at blobbing

Blobderful.
Donna Milligan
Uh oh! I thought I was better than the blob. Turns up I was not. I understood it better after blobbing
Rachel Dawn Owens
Keep on blobbing!
