Here is my submission for lesson two. I had a lot of struggles in this one but it was still a lot of fun like the others.

I'd say the things I struggled the most with was:

  1. Texture. I had a really hard time striking that balance with detail and most of the time it just feels really cluttered to me. Also I just didn't know how to stick to only drawing cast shadows, especially when (to me) it didn't look like Uncomfortable was doing that in a lot of the examples either and rather drew the contour lines of a lot of the textures.

  2. I really struggled with the intersections, especially box against box. For some reason how two boxes cut into eachother just doesn't make sense to me. Like which of the boxes focal points does the cut follow? Or is it a mix of both?

Thank you for your time!

Hey dude, I think your image hosting for your submission is a dud, nothing is really loading and appearing, I recommend you reupload your homework

When it comes to technical drawing, there's no one better than Scott Robertson. I regularly use this book as a reference when eyeballing my perspective just won't cut it anymore. Need to figure out exactly how to rotate an object in 3D space? How to project a shape in perspective? Look no further.
