Arrows Project! Thanks so much for the demo; fitting the arrows into boxes made them a lot easier to draw in perspective. I drew these from memory but forgot to draw any of the arrows going back in space :(

Amu, its so impressive how you make something so "boring" so much aesthetically pleasing. wow.
Anke Mols
I feel a bit lost, don't know properly how to do what I am doing. I tried not to overthink it too much, hope it does make sense now. A little.

they are the "my dog has fleas of an artist", that's what Marshall said. This little sentence pushed me through, thanks ;-)
Marshall Vandruff
Good feeling to know that.

Hello out there, doing the orthos of my simple forms and the isometric oblique seems doable. But the real trouble starts when I try to put them into a 2 point perspective. For what I know so far I can only guess the measurements, right? Or did I miss something?
Marshall Vandruff
That's right. You'll measure them exactly someday. For now, and for a while, guessing measurements!
Li Ming Lin
My favourite thing about orthos is that we can use one/two other views to get measurements or reference points of another view - I find that useful and very convenient. I felt the charger was a good recap; however, I want to challenge myself for harder shapes in my next ortho. Hope that it's ok to resubmit my crane orthos, even though I've already posted it in the 'Objects and Environments' lesson (I used the Blob Approach to draw the three-quarter view). The crane orthos was probably more suited to this lesson. The boom was the most complicated part because of all the pendant pipes. Had lots of fun though!

I like your crane so much, its so well done. Did you use a reference or were you able to create one on your own? I'm asking cause Id love to try this one out, thanks for helping me out.

Cool that you made the head turn instead of just making it a completely stiff pose. I didn’t even think about that you can do that, but it obviously works
Rachel Dawn Owens
I love the silhouette on these. And the addition of color was a great idea!
Anke Mols
wow, huge step for me. No ruler, no measurements, done really only by hand from a real life object,…. tada….. a dirt brush ;-)
Anke Mols
what a great exercise, I like it a lot. And my new dream for 2025 is drawing my kitchen machine ;-). I have two questions for Marshall/ the experts: Do you recommend using the parallel lines on your triangle for constructing? I wouldn't know how to deal without them, but I feel that they are a bit of a source for imprecision, right? When doing the 3/4 view I simply use the given measurements, one by one, starting by drawing a box with the x/y/z axis, is that a correct way of doing it?
Marshall Vandruff
The instruments keep it precise, For this course, think of them as traininbg wheels. You'll let them go when you get some control on your own. And the way you did the box is good, In a coming lesson, that will be a focus — estimating proportion,

Ok, found a new perspective rule: if you've made a mess, take the golden pen out and you'll see it less.

✨ Golden rule of perspective ✨

I honestly like this tip. I'll keep this in mind when I draw.
