I really appreciate the feedback @Katt Quiet and @Idon'tknow (wish there was a way to tag you both)
The first cube was definitely one I struggled the most and I think it's because I had the doubt settling in if I wanted to do this self hw assignment. The part I struggled with the most was definitely keeping the smaller parts of the rubiks cube in perspective and balanced(?) like Katt had mentioned the side, middle row growing taller as it recedes. I'll be sure to put more attention to it the next self assignment and to take my time with the cubes (as I've also noticed that the last cube, the downward slope isn't as prominent in my study) :)
@Idon'tknow Could you explain to me what you mean by "subdivide a surface in perspective"? Perspective wasn't my strong suit in college and I think that's my next hurdle that I'm having to jump. And I will definitely be try turning Pokemon into simple shapes! That sounds like a fun exercise and I'm excited to get to it this week
Again, thank you for the feedback!🌞
