Google tells me it was aired in... 2008.
Now I feel old, thanks. :D

I'm not particularly familiar with the reference.
But sure, if you believe! :)

Thank you for the detailed critique! I've got to admit, I couldn't really figure out how to apply the texture to the wheels, with how tiny they are. Getting everything to be properly aligned and symmetrical was a struggle already. I think I know now how I could have done those textures. -_-
Oh well, live and learn. I am curious to see how this challenge will change in the overhaul, whenever that happens.

Thank you for such a detailed critique! I will make sure to pay more attention to what my intersections are doing from now on.
And I learned new thing about anatomy of glasses :D I didn't know there were specific terms for the arms.

Thank you for such detailed critique!
Cyllinders in boxes were harder than they seemed, for sure. It took me embarrasingly long time to actually grasp what I should be doing to even get a half-decent one. :)
Excited for lesson 6, though!

I will keep in mind your remarks about building shapes in 3D going forward.

Framed Ink
I'd been drawing as a hobby for a solid 10 years at least before I finally had the concept of composition explained to me by a friend.
Unlike the spatial reasoning we delve into here, where it's all about understanding the relationships between things in three dimensions, composition is all about understanding what you're drawing as it exists in two dimensions. It's about the silhouettes that are used to represent objects, without concern for what those objects are. It's all just shapes, how those shapes balance against one another, and how their arrangement encourages the viewer's eye to follow a specific path. When it comes to illustration, composition is extremely important, and coming to understand it fundamentally changed how I approached my own work.
Marcos Mateu-Mestre's Framed Ink is among the best books out there on explaining composition, and how to think through the way in which you lay out your work.
Illustration is, at its core, storytelling, and understanding composition will arm you with the tools you'll need to tell stories that occur across a span of time, within the confines of a single frame.
