These perspective assignments have been proving to be extremely enjoyable. It's like figuring out a big puzzle.

I don’t normally get the projects done in time for the critique video, so I REALLY hope I can make it into this one! My birthday is the day after the deadline, so Stan, it’s my birthday wish to be included in this critique video 🙏. Anyhow, I really enjoyed this project a lot. This entire course has been a game changer. Some things I found a bit tricky here, were ensuring my value separation between light and dark families remained consistent. When I initially separated darks from lights, I felt like I was going too dark for an average dark, but when I began to place my dark halftones, I felt like my shadows were entirely too light. So it was a subtle dance of pushing and pulling between the two. In person, I felt like the separation was enough, but now I’m second guessing that from the photo. Still happy with the result though, and really enjoyed the process! P.s. Did anyone else feel like this head sculpt has a slight resemblance to Marshall with a long beard? 🧐

That was much more difficult than I anticipated. Especially that last doo-hickie-knotch-thing on the bottom back. Marshall, I think you forgot to include it in the tutorial. And were you singing One Hand, One Heart from West Side Story???

Phew! After drawing 50 rooms at different angles I will never forget... um, what was I talking about? This was a great exercise. It makes you think about how lines recede and converge to accurately depict forms.

Attached are my thumbnails, value study, and a full render. I know the render wasn't part of the assignment, but I was curious to see how it would turn out. Did anyone else notice a resemblance between the statue and Marshall?

Excuse the messiness here,was trying a new pen and marker! will try some harder bend and twists to challenge myself later!

Eyeballing is a lot trickier than it seems, but fun to figure out :)

I liked the grid nod to Tron. At first, I thought it was an accidental pop-up ad on Marshall's screen. The 1982 version is better.

Here are a few orthos I pulled from previous assignments.

I imagined a clear box floating above my head and place the things I want to draw inside it.
