Introduction to Prop Design - Looking for fellow 'classmates'

I just started posing. I'm not quite there yet.

@Leah "it's finished" is something I need to work on. I suppose I am a perfectionist in that way but also I want my best. Good job for finishing!

This is my progress. Still struggling with a titled lamp head, however I have learned a lot and these are still my 3/4 top view sketch/drawings.
I really had to brush up on my perspective homework (few months back). The light part in the middle one looks heavy vs the coil support but I got the ellipse perspective right. And then I struggled with the position of the last one (with a titled box). Out of the first three which do you prefer proportion wise? Also I wasn't sure how to draw the coil (middle support) in proper perspective -I sort winged it.
Thanks as always,

@Heather-Boyd Nice sketches! I like the middle one - the head being a bit out of proportion gives it character. Maybe it's the 70-30 ratio on the 'weight' that makes it more interesting? The tilted one on the right seems like a hard nut to crack, perspective-wise... but the silhouette is way less interesting so maybe just skip it? :-]

@PieterVanDerBeek thank you so much. The middle one you like best, do you think it be able to stand by itself as a functional believable lamp, because the head lamp is heavy? I am also unsure how the light will project out of it. I need to find similar light sources.

@Heather-Boyd I think the believability would depend on the context / world in which it lives. But you could still tilt the head down a little so it will have more of a projected beam directed downwards, if that makes figuring out the light / shadow of your scene easier... :-]
