Nice one! Ellipses are the hardest.
Can’t wait to see the final result!
I encounter the first real 2D problem, stupid me. I should have known this. Architectural drawing do have a front, back, side and top views. Currently I do not know, how the bottom looks like, or the back side …

you can draw other sides as well

Looking great, and I also can’t wait to see the finished Grenade.

See easier to go straight to the 3d model! And render.
Good of Grant to draw wonky to encourage 
the students!

Model complete and a quick texture kit.
But as a fantasy grenade, it’s size can be anything.
From a grenade to a mine, a bomb. Even a nuclear reactor … or a paperweight … a lamp
“When device shape follows function.” … at least it shines a light.

Awesome!
Of course without a context it’s really hard to tell what it is 
. It could even be a building or a space ship

Very nice indeed!! You even included a few cracks in the texture.

Your Eevee render looks really good! Nicely done!

Cycles render with different views. I’m thinking about a next level of tweaking.
Some things annoy me. Still looking like a fusion reactor …

The thing to pull of and arm the grenade works well (idk how it’s called). You can consider adding a handle from witch this thing would be pulled off (that’s a kind of signature grenade thing)
Additional texturing looks awesome! The materials now at least for me convey that’s rather not a spaceship or a building.
What you can do to further convey sense of scale is to for example put them in the box or a crate.
Another thing you can add is a label, sth like:
Sometimes the contemporary grenades are marked as well (and IIRC grenades from the past had it as well).

I do not know if Maxantium’s write English …
But I try a next level.
Funny a simple 2D results in so much learning experience.

I like the screw heads in those holes, gives them a purpose, and the little one.
When you are happy with it you can take a render into photoshop or similar and apply a filter that gives the effect of a charcoal drawing or something similar and present it as your 2d artwork!

Awesome! The screw heads really drive home the fact that it’s rather small! And I like the materials now even better on them.

The screw is a bump map. The screw stencil, was created in an other project. Making my own set of stencils. But to be really useful in a future project I need to refine those stencils. They had a lot of noise.

A great way to prototype game assets.

Yes, and see.
My circles are even worse than yours
It all depends on what you are going to do with those 2D drawings.
I use it as a quick sketch. Visualizing an idea in the first stage.
I do that a lot.
Just have fun, follow the course, learn techniques, and practice while doing it.
