Update 2020-08-30: added a few timestamps. Click "Show more..." below. Draw a series of parallel lines of various lengths. Change the angle of the lines: vertical, horizontal, at 30 degrees, etc., but make sure to draw lines parallel within each group, not diverging. For the longer lines, work from your elbow and shoulder, without bending your wrist. Move the paper to find comfortable angles of working. For example, to draw a vertical line, you can turn the paper sideways and draw a horizontal line, moving your forearm from left to right, like a pendulum.
00:15 Draw Parallel lines is the second assignment from Spring 2021 onward.
05:00 to 10:10 Title block again, it takes five minutes, do it first.
16:50 It's good to practice drawing lines at an angle of 30 degrees (isometric projections) as it will help with the drawing of cubes at an angle. This will help avoid views of the cube where one face looks exactly like a square.
