added comment inHow to Bend and Twist an Arrow
Marshall,
It was a complete surprise to discover my arrow used as an illustration in this lesson, and I have to admit I’m a bit flattered—haha! I didn’t give it much thought when I drew that arrow, and now that I’ve seen and tried to follow your lesson, I couldn’t resist taking on the challenge myself—this time more thoughtfully.
I hope I passed; it’s a very difficult task but so rewarding to develop this technique "scientifically" and explore this "P.O.V."

Hahaha! We are on a roll and a twist. Thank you Lucie!

those look excellent.
Hey Marshall!
I’ve been completely absorbed by this assignment over the past two weeks. I loved it so much that I kept doing —and redoing— my orthos into full-fledged perspective drawings 😂
When I selected the objects for my orthographic views, I had no clue they’d end up forming this assignment—so naturally I chose some real head‑scratchers, haha. I made all the drawings completly freehand
But honestly, the challenge made it way more interesting—so many ellipses that I’m pretty sure they’ll haunt my dreams!
Thank you so much for the fantastic content of this course :)

Hello Marshall,
Here are the completed exercises. I spent a few hours on them, haha, but it was fun 😃
I did the first three using the templates you provided, then I created two more.
I tried to make the first one without putting vanishing points on the horizon line,
but I'm not sure if I managed to stay consistent.

Hey Marshall,
I’ve been on an arrow‑drawing binge these past few days 😂.
I really appreciated playing around with all kinds of variations, for example:
- tweaking the arrow shapes,
- experimenting with increasingly dynamic angles,
plus a bunch of other sketches I haven’t shared here because they didn’t quite work out (including some shadow studies, etc.).
I had an absolute blast with this exercise—it felt like the perfect excuse to try out a ton of stuff 👀🤭.
Thanks so much!
Hey Marshall,
This assignment was so much fun that I ended up creating each visual twice,
experimenting with different viewing angles each time!
I’ve spent a few hours on them over the past days :)
I hope the annotations are clear enough.
Thanks for these awesome projects!
👋🏻✨🥳

Hello Marshall,
Thank you so much for your feedback on my work 🥰
I tried to correct my assignment following your razor-sharp advice.
I hope this time I get it... I don’t know why I wanted to make it with only 2 vanishing points, but I must be tired because I was visibly unable to keep it vertically straight. It is so much better with 3 clear vanishing points!
Thank you again 👍🏻🤭
And a last study 🤗
It is an old piggy bank that my mother have absolutely love it since I am a child
👋🏻
Such a cute piggy, these are great drawings. I think in the side view you wouldn't be able to see the back legs as they are lined up with the front (side) ones.
Submitting my second orthos study of a vintage dual-blade French herb chopper.
This one tested my ability to balance symmetry (those mirrored blades!) and organic curves (the swooping arch between handles).
Will certainly do more because I love the process of making these studies 👍🏻
Hi Marshall,
I’m excited to share my orthos study assignment for the perspective course! I chose an old coffee pot as my subject to practice breaking down complex curves, ellipses, and proportions into simplified orthographic views.
This exercise really pushed me to analyze spatial relationships and alignment, especially with the pot’s angled spout and handle.
I will do more studies like this one 👍🏻✨
Bye

Here are my melted pancakes 😆
I had a lot of fun doing this exercise, which I will definitely do again in the future!
It's a great way to boost creativity, so happy to know it, thank you very much for all these high quality videos
