I have tried to figure out a robot project for years and then I saw a figure drawing exercise that used two-point perspective. I thought that this could be the way to draw robots as well. The assignment will require students to draw a futuristic robot, with a sidekick, in perspective under the theme of athletics or outdoor recreation. My example is of robots, scuba diving with a goldfish in its robot and all in three-point perspective.

Due to the advanced skill involved, I think the white and black styling made by colored pencil on grey paper helps to simplify the project. I left the perspective lines, so that students can see how the robots were made.

There are three warm-up assignments to get ready for this project. The first is a still life drawing assignment to practice shading, then a perspective project and then figure drawing.
