Not a lot of free time lately, but I'm still crawling my way through the videos. Here's a bunch of pears I drew for the organic forms. I wanted to picture my subject as well, but unfortunately I got hungry...

Edit:

My first two tries on the simple still life and also the first time to use a "proper" drawing setup, as recommended. My drawing space is very tiny though, which might be a problem.

I have burned through so much paper trying to get a grasp on the perspective drawing, especially the third vanishing point, that I decided to switch to digital for further practice, even though I love my paper an pencil...

Anyway, here's a few cylinders and spheres:

One point perspective was a lot of fun:

Two point perspective was also fun:

And on three point perspective you can clearly see the point where my brain shut down trying to figure out how to handle that third vanishing point:

I'm still not clear on how to pick that third point. Any pointers?

Will update the project once I'm done with the rest next lessons. It took a little longer this time, because I had to do A LOT of repetition on this last project.
