250 Cylinder Challenge
7:14 PM, Sunday April 2nd 2023
Enjoyed this lesson. It felt like the real challenge was the box construction being correct, or at least at one side being properly square in 3D space. If that was off than everything else sort of followed suite, which makes sense.
I tried to challenge myself to create true cubes to allow myself to pick any sets of planes in which to draw the cylinder, and that proved quite tough. It often felt like I wasn't gaining ground in determining the proportions of each plane to ensure it reads as a cube. I would often ask myself, "If I foreshorten this plane, what is the rate of forshortening for this other plane, and how large is the plane in proportion to the other?"
I'm assuming that is simply practiced through iterative drawing of different angles of a cube? But if there's any advice there that would be appreciated as well!
