Can you point me ➡️ to where the video is on foreshortening? I care : )

Goals! Key take aways: practice - a lot; observe your subject matter; you must walk and stumble before you can run; simplify; details are icing on the cake; study your principles of perspective first. Inspiring to watch Peter.

Loved this video. Thank you for sharing and being vulnerable. We ‘fail forward’.

With a little help from my friend, @mcminnjesse , I have made a little progress. I followed the same process I had been using for the first two drawings. 1. glance at the reference and then draw 2. look at the reference for one minute and then draw. But the third attempt from memory (rather than just look at the reference for two minutes) was after breaking down the forms (physical and mental effort) and then trying to draw from memory.

Some monsters...

This! I wish there were more than 24 hrs in a day. I need to take Marshall’s course. So much info packed into 18 minutes in this video.

I had to keep telling myself the point of this project was to learn one point perspective, not achieve perfection. A lot of wobbly freehand lines (I really do practice straights a lot!), some weirdness with line direction, my pencil going dull at in opportune moments, etc. But I learned one point perspective along the way.

Thank you Stan for explaining why you included rhythms early and the long term benefits. Helpful. I panicked at first at the unknown. Will practice and fail forward ; )

I’m not level 2 yet, but hearing your deductive reasoning as you thought through each “problem” was enlightening. My approach needs to change, think through each part with simplicity. I’m over complicating it and I don’t break it down into digestible parts. My brain needs to slow down and reason through it.

Thank you for the advice on confidence Stan and the mindset. Struggled with this one.
