added comment inWhy You Need to be Drawing with Grids
Asked for help
To be honest, looking at the grids makes me more confused how to start the line and imagining the position of the object compared to blank canvas. I think its because the grids have too much lines. But after trying it I understood that this tool have the power to speed up our construction process. I prefer the intuitive way tho, makes the puzzle have a more... freedom of solution? It's like I can decide whatever I want, the world is mine to break apart.
So then I tried to work on a blank space instead, and that same canvas destroyed, humiliated and reminded me how one single weird line not going properly going towards vanishing point will makes my head spinnnn.
Also having difficulties with ellipses in perspective, even more so in extreme perspective. The other thing is, how to properly place a rounded ended object into a box? Measuring curved lines into a box seems like there's no way for it to be accurate other then guessing?

I've been having trouble with the ellipse myself, its not as easy as it looks. Lol

Drawing the plane at different angles and getting them to look identical is quite challenging but fun none the less.

Must admit I'm feeling a little discouraged.😞 I'm not sure if I'm heading in the right direction or even improving. I struggle with drawing the aeroplane and getting the wings in the right perspective. When drawing an object from observation I can plan it out to a degree (primative 3D shape of the main object) but but adding other primative 3D shapes to that object is a struggle. I feel like when I'm looking at everyone elses work they all look really precise and gorgeous to look at. I feel like I'm doing something wrong or I'm missing something in the lessons. Any advice would be great.
Had experienced the same feeling as you before. What helped me, is to draw lots of primitive forms and try fitting them into the same setting, have them in proximity to each others, overlap or attached.
It will be a gradual improvement, but eventually our brain and hand will connect it together intuitively.
But pardon my intrusiveness, if this will be addressed and part of the perspective course journey., I believe Marshall mentioned that we are still in the segment of Understanding Perspective, not Mastering Perspective yet, so it's okay for our assignments to be messy and fail a lot. For encouragement, it is helpful to compare your current drawings to your past drawings instead!

Hi,
Can someone give me a bit more clarity on level 3 and 4. Are we labeling them XZ, ZY and XY because it depends on how we interpret the drawing?. I'm more of an initiative person/ artist and struggle with this type of stuff any info would be great.
YOU are labeling the direction you are going. X, Y & Z are just the basics, there are more you can label them and use different colors if you like.
