added comment inAssignment - How I tipped the Arrows
Asked for help
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.

This was a quite challenging, my page wasn't big enough. Also think I put to much detail and chose to hard a subject. Also the doors just came off.🤣

Loving this assignment so far. But feel its pretty similar to the last one or am I missing something?
The first video was released as free content, whereas this video is a premium continuation of the first video. It has information that the first video did not have. Proko releases some of the videos for free as promotional material to get people to purchase the full courses. The free content on Proko YouTube is what attracted me to proko.com. Good job with your drawings. Cheers!

I did my assignment using this carving of a hippo that I got while visiting South Africa.
It was more difficult than I thought it would be. Any critique would be welcomed. Trying to keep every drawing the same size was a challenge.
I think you did a great job with the top and side views. For the front side, I think both legs should be on the same level, otherwise it looks like one is receding (see Melanie's demo of the shoe a couple of comments up).
Also, if you try to photograph your drawings without the shadow falling on the page, they will present better and be easier to 'read'. I'm saying it cause I know myself that it can be a struggle to get the light and phone positioned well ;)

Hi Marshall,
Here's my assignment.
Sorry about the picture quality.
If there's anything missing let me know.
Thanks,
Ash
