For part 1; literally just fill a page with random geometric shapes? Also, is there a preference for traditional versus digital? Some drawing programs have tools to help with perspective drawing.

Yes, for part 1 just fill a page with geometric shapes.
There is no preference for traditional versus digital. If you like drawing on paper, go for it. :+1:
I'm not against using the perspective tools. In a professional setting, you'll be using them. Its good to practice both free hand and using a helper tool. Whatever is comfortable to you.

I kind of combined some of the challenges (I hope that's okay). These will count as my 1-point perspective shapes:

Shapes with center lines:

Shapes with shading:

I haven't started on the 2-point perspective yet; hopefully I'll have it finished by the deadline.

(UPDATE)
I was able to get the 2-point perspective finished. In the end, it wasn't quite as elaborate as I had originally imagined (I kind of made it up as I went along instead of planning it out first). Still, I think it turned out okay though I feel like the shadows may not be entirely accurate; I tried to do them the right way in perspective but it's a technique I need to work on:

Combining is fine with me. Great job on this.

I added it to the rules so others feel ok to do the same.

Looking good; I like the complex shapes at the bottom (I wish I had done more of those).
