Hey Dom. These are exercises are tailored to my engine room. Eg for the side spindle I had a hard time going from 3/4 to front 1 point perspective so I did a study on it. The study was trying to do all that while maintaining proportions and dimensions accurately.

Thanks Dom! More studies! Hexagonal shapes in 1 point perspective and how they converge.



How cylinders and ellipses change when in 3 point perspective.



Using architect's method from Loomis to transfer side and front views to perspective.

Been heavily working on my engine room but I don't want to present it until it's more polished. Technical stuff takes time.

Study of ellipses and how their degrees change based on view.

Hey Crank, your studies are improving I can see. Look forward to your engine room update with all your new found knowledge. :woohoo: I started drawing 3d boxes in varies positions to do some studies of my own, I'm trying to perfect drawing robots and vehicles.

Thanks Micro!

Update on my engine room. IDEAS POUR OUT OF MY HEAD LIKE WATER! I could probably fill oceans with all this water! Did the engine room wall in 1 point perspective since it's faster and easier and the final will be in 2 point.

Using the architect's method for transferring ortho views. My particular concern was studying how to transfer slope surfaces.



Tilted objects in 3 point and quick study of axis, planes and two pipes.



So much to study so little time. Need to get back to anatomy. These are from Loomis Figure Drawing.

I'm loving the engine room development. I feel like I could walk around inside it like it's from a video game.

Study of what happens in perspective when you have two L shaped pipes together.



Anatomy study. Trying to feel the pose and get the limbs' proportions correct. Also trying to feel weight.



Scaling of objects in perspective, how to maintain exact dimensions in perspective.
