Ooooh, this video shows something that's always been on my mind...I mean for years! How to figure out the horizon if you're looking down at something. Like if I'm looking down at people from atop a small hill. Coool... I'm very behind all these lessons, but I hope to still get somewhere with the course when my time is better! I'm looking at this one here and I'm gonna attempt to add something from what bit I have so far. ^_^ I really want to add my progress pics one day because what videos you've shown that I've seen have been excellent info! I'm really looking at things around me and into my characters and whatnot, with a better eye on perspective! Thank you, Marshall!

One neat thing I noted is that sometimes objects don't ALL have to hit a focal point. I've been one to try so hard to make their edges converge to a single point, knowing that they just won't look how I want.

Foreshortening will always be the bane of my existence, especially with things like fingers and arms. I LOVE atmospheric perspective, and right now I'm using it as practice in Blender 3D. One thing I still gotta practice is adding more things into a scene. Mine tend to look a little...meh. As for the favourite artworks, I'd better dig into my old collections because I can't think of any currently. I did, however, collect several during concept art courses. I'm gonna look then edit this post. :D

I'm currently working in Blender anyway, and I need to get back to sketching ideas sometimes, which I did! I did a few before going into the 3D of it again. Off and on for years, bu I do LOVE 3D play. I want to make stylized, somewhat whimsical works that sell the perspective and don't always look like a "mistake", so making many mistakes anyway, maybe I'll slide some in if they work for whatever I do. Hee hee. :)

I only did a page for this time. I gave myself plenty of things to do, and trying this just once isn't nearly enough. I'll do it again! Since I haven't a compass, I'll use a stencil that I have; I did print off circles first. :P Oh yeah! I started from the bottom right, since I'm left-handed. Much easier to deal with!

I printed a triangular graph pattern but the blue was way too dark. Still, I used tracing paper over it and got myself in over my head! LOL I'll just try again. It's certainly reusable. ;)

"I WILL GET YOU." "HAHAHAHAHAH"

Wonderful video, Phil and Marshall! It's great to see and hear from the artist himself, so I'm getting a lot from these different artists and how they even begin. By imagination? I'm there. LOL!

I'm gonna share progress, I just never have time to make it! No matter what crud I put on the paper, I'll show it soon. Until then, I should be able to figure out the triangles! And...hee hee! That joke. LOL, I can't help but laugh at it. Awesome getting a Bible verse, I like that one! XD

I thought I'd show the couple tries I did with isometric illusion. I realize that I don't get it. LOL I can't figure out how to make the illusion, even if I made a bit of it. I'm not sure where my mindset needs to be. The first picture I used just the protractor and the triangles with a t-ruler. So I didn't mind that way, but I need a bigger place to do this kind of practice. My kitchen table is also a bit small. Heh. The second picture I printed an isometric grid from Adobe and placed it beneath some tracing paper, so I could maybe get a handle on what I'm doing. I think it didn't help the way I'd hoped. I'm better off just using the rulers and not looking at that grid.
