The third day of life drawing

This day was all about scale, using vanishing points to draw buildings and people in scale. We also found out on Wednesday that you can use as many as 6 vanishing points, or was it 5? Anyway it was a lot and it gets progressively more difficult just to keep track of what's going on the more vanishing points you have. This lesson though we used one or two vanishing points. We started drawing a building which I didn't get finished, not even close to,  so we could draw a sitting Gordon in front. I think the idea was that we would draw a street with a 'road' down the middle, draw Gordon in the middle then draw him again in a different pose but scaled down. As I thought this wasn't explained well I ended up just drawing a building corner before I realised it wouldn't work, then got confused and started again. When it came to drawing Gordon I got some of the pose done before he switched. However I couldn't for the life of me scale him down, especially now he was in a different pose so I did the best I could, which wasn't very good at all. Instead, to show I at least understood the concept, I was told to draw a cube, then scale it down which I did very well. Even got around to putting a little shading on it. Gordon then started to do motion poses, I think thats what they're called, where he perform an action like swinging a sword but pose at intervals so we had like a flip book just on one page. Learning from the 5 minute poses I didn't even attempt to draw Gordon in the poses instead I drew stick men which came out quite well. Bit scary when he has two daggers above his head looking like he's about to drive them into you and your mates skulls, tad off putting I found. Still I started adding a body to the stick men but didn't get far due to time constraints. We finished up with another lesson on scale. Gordon sat on a chair, arm on a table with a camera pointing at his hand, which was gripping the edge. This image was projected onto the wall behind and again we were told to draw everything we saw. I got the table, the projected image and some very creepy looking fingers. Given more time I might have made it able to look acceptable but honestly this was a tricky one. Drawing is not my strong point, hands even less so so this was a nightmare for me. Which is why I never got far.

This was the building I started to draw until I realised that
I probably got the wrong idea about what I was supposed
to be doing

Again, sorry for the rotation issue. No matter what I
did I just couldn't get the two Gordon's to scale. Personally
I thought it would be impossible as they are two completely
different images 

The scale drawing I was told to do just so I
could prove I understood the concept

The fighting stick figures I thought worked quite well,
I can always add body mass to them as I have the basic
pose outlined.

I honestly have no idea why I didn't get much done for
this drawing. I think the fingers must have bugged me
because they didn't look right , I tried drawing the head
but it was out of scale with the fingers
which would have annoyed me even more.
