Sketch again

Looks good

I appreciate the effort that's gone into this. It looks like a plaster carving I did for my art O'level back in the 70s. For me it's easier to make physical structures than it is to draw them (crafting is my thing). You might find creating the structure out of foam board, plaster, or some other material enjoyable and you will learn very quickly to think in 3D. The crafter in me makes me want to separate that lower disc from its support and join it to the rectangular piece in front of it with a spindle to make it a moving part although that would be out of character for this project. I get it that you've taken all these pieces and joined them to make a solid structure that could be carved out of one piece. Maybe an idea for another project though! I just added some moving parts to a dolls house and discovered that creating animation is interesting and enjoyable. For drawing, I wonder if there's a computer program to help you develop your skill? You have a range of talent Sunny, and you're never afraid to try new things, always happy to see what you come up with next.

Good start for hard perspective work and some great shading too! Only perspective of the hole in the tall block still needs some work.

Cool Sunnylady, it reminds me of 1960’s futuristic structures. 👍✌️

Thanks to all for commenting and for ideas!
I have not drawn anything similar for almost 20 years. I can’t remember anything how to do it.

@thelandscapepainter - it is really awesome what you do with your crafting and animation! I have never tried anything like this. I want to try clay or welding sculpture but no time for it and no resources unfortunately. Please do share pictures of your projects.
I want to avoid to use any software for now while my brain re-learns everything again.
No, this is not needed to be one piece in particular. At least exercise was not requesting, this sketch is still part of the composition class and this is sort of entry exam to the designers professions /creating portfolio. Looking what 17 year olds can do with such designs on internet makes me so jealous that my brain is so rigid now and experiments do not happen with that playful mood and it is a struggle for me.

@Felix - yes, you are right. This is about perspective . At this moment this is free hand, later it will be done using proper tools. I just need to settle on the design and consider static/dynamic and work with outline and blocking and rhythm. It does not come naturally unfortunately. But I will keep going for sure.

Ah, I understand now. Shading is important isn't it especially a project like this one, it leaves you feeling bare as an artist doesn't it, nowhere to hide. I too was looking at that hole Felix mentioned. Is the shading upside down? Should it be wide at the top and narrow at the bottom as the viewer is looking at it in an upward direction? I don't know, I cant draw. I had a shading issue of my own recently painting a bridge. The painting took 4 hours, it took 4 days staring at it figuring out what was wrong. Art is challenging, but enjoyable, thats why we keep going.👍

I can recommend the course of drawabox.com

It is free and very perspective focused and really helps with building intuition for perspective

Thank you Felix!

Thanks Felix. This is helpful.

Ovals drive me crazy. I will search for a lesson in draw box.

Sunny lady, this looks like a great learning exercise - well done. Have you tried using empty food boxes, paper towel inner cardboard rolls , paper and sticky tape for constructing something like this to physically view it from different angles and then draw from those angles? Also helps for animals and other objects as well. Great family exercise also. Cheers

I believe there are exercises for ovals in the first lesson.

The core is that an oval can fit into a (slanted) rectangle and should be drawn with speed and confidence, even when you're not accurate in the beginning. Accuracy will come with practice
