This is a great challenge.
I can see the value of it .
It pushes you to think of the process
and then to think about effectively simplifying the drawing
while maintaining an understandable ( not for me) image of it.
I've been trying this challenge for sure, but clearly haven't practiced enough.
My attempts are beyond terrible, so won't be posting at this stage.
It doesn't mean I've given up, but I am behind
That said, for me it has highlighted that I need to review previous
lessons and practice more !

Thanks for the Draftsmen on Colour.
What do you think about the book by Michael Wilcox:
Blue and Yellow Don't Make Green
(Or How to Mix The Colour You Really Want - Every Time) ?

It's got good teaching in it, and I first learned about the two-primary system from that book.
My biggest criticism is the title, which I assume is meant to shock us into involvement. It probably would not have sold as well if it were more accurately titled: Blue and Yellow Make Green (but not always).
Perhaps we'll apply this wisdom to our coming Perspective Lesson titles:
Straight Lines Do Not Exist!
Stop Looking and Just Draw!
Stop Drawing and Just Look!
Everything You Perceive is Wrong!
Your Eyes Do Not See Green, Yellow, Blue, or anything else — It's All in Your Brain!
Maybe...
But yes, informative book.
Marshall thanks for the picture plane and planned projection video explanation.
You used parallel lines to find the VP's.
Is there a similar method to working out the FOV without a protractor or does that come down to angle familiarity through practice using a protractor?

Great Video thanks
Oh, I thought this was Marshall's Perspective Course.
Marshalls Perspective on Perspective as mentioned in The Draftsmen?

Hey Dermot! Yes, this is indeed the Perspective course mentioned in the Draftsmen podcast.

Quote from the video: "Sketch Examples"
Are you refering to the example sketches you scroll through during the video?
That's what I've been doing or it that considered copying.
Looking down, lines go up
Looking up, lines go down
I assume the main goal of the exercise is to automate the thinking to muscle memory by repetition using the examples in the video.

Any examples Dermot. Look at all the stuff here...

These demos are great.
When drawing the grids for these demos, how do you determine the line
spacing from the VP's for the grids?
Is there an assignment to follow the demos?
•

The line spacing is up to you. I'm sure you don't want a hundred reminders, nor only nine. You want enough reminders to let you know which way to go with a line.
And there is no official assignment. I will give feedback soon to those who post what they're doing to apply this. Draw things you want to know so well you can draw their forms from imagination!

Hey guys, this is a practice I did a while back. I used seven values, including the white of the paper.
However, I can't create that depth effect or the fidelity of the image without it looking too saturated or too dull. Should I use charcoal, or is it just my lack of skill with values?
I'm thinking about doing a portrait, but I don't want it to still look like a drawing. You know what I mean? I'd like to achieve a depth effect and a shape that's fairly faithful to the reference image. I hope someone can help me.
It's worth noting that I blurred the values. Yes, I know it's cheating a bit.
Blessings to your families and to you.
