250 Cylinder Challenge
7:08 PM, Monday July 27th 2020
This one was a grind; keeping my motivation up throughout the challenge was really difficult.
The initial cylinders weren't hard to draw, but aligning them perfectly to the minor axis seemed almost impossible. I also struggled with keeping the "laterals" of the cylinders aligned with the vanish point: when drawing the far side I had to made of larger degree than the near side, but also smaller, as otherwise the laterals would diverge; it was a lot to keep track of.
Adhering to the constraints of the final cylinders was also complicated; in particular, drawing a perfect square in perspective was not easy. I eventually started making my boxes in such a manner that the largest far edge was smaller than the smallest near edge and that seemed to help a bit. Definitely the easiest cylinders were the ones viewed almost from the top or from the bottom (those in which the two ellipses actually intersect). Maybe that was because drawing elongated objects is harder than drawing shorter objects?
Well,either way I'm glad I've finished the 250 and I'm looking forward to read my feedback. Here's the link for the second part of the challenge; imgur didn't let me put everything in a single album: https://imgur.com/a/pszXw7W
