Asked for help
Here's my shot-in-the-foot of a submission. I just had to pick a Formula 1 car for my orthos, didn't I? With all its fancy curves and swoops and scoops and diagonals and...ya, great thinking Ishaan.
No doubt making this was extremely challenging, and the results are really 'sketchy', no pun intended. The right front tyre looks to be further away from the nose cone than the left front which defies visual logic. A lot of sections were hidden away from view/not clearly defined inspite of the orthos. I also took care to not see the actual car model and relied entirely on only the orthos, so I had to 'make up' a few sections.
I'm not sure if I have it in me to make this from another angle but as Darth Maul once put it, 'pain is the greatest teacher'. Nevertheless, here's something to improve upon as this course progresses.

Ok, on the last assignment, the grid was just messing with my flow. Maybe it's because I had to build it from scratch but it became hard. however. I down loaded the grids for the assignment and all was good. I did have to ge the plane out of my head. so I got one more out and then I worked on a truck from the app.

@Marshall Vandruff you were killing me with that dull lead. I wanted to reach in the video and sharpen it. gave anxiety. 😂😂😂

What can I say. Looked deceptively easy. First tried a diametric plane. did not like the way it turned out. so I went with perspective. I have worked the grid before with simple objects. but the truth is I still have a hard time controlling how I keep the box in the picture plane. I do believe that the front wing was way past the picture plane. If we are going to be working more complicated objects. Will need to make the scale bigger for details. definitely will need bigger paper. I am not comfortable yet on my ability to control the drawing when we get technical with it. make sense?

Liked this one. pretty straight forward. Used the same direction of the boxes for the arrows. made a top orthos. to show the divisions used.

Got the room with the turning table done. I could not for the life of me figure how to do it in graph paper. when it doubt lay down some perspective lines.

Hi,
Can someone give me a bit more clarity on level 3 and 4. Are we labeling them XZ, ZY and XY because it depends on how we interpret the drawing?. I'm more of an initiative person/ artist and struggle with this type of stuff any info would be great.
YOU are labeling the direction you are going. X, Y & Z are just the basics, there are more you can label them and use different colors if you like.

I’ve been trying to practice perspective like this for ages, but it has never felt as good as after watching this lesson.
It’s not even like i learned something I didn’t know before and it clicked, it’s probably just because I needed someone to tell me to go practice drawing objects in perspective.
And I should probably also give some credit to the amazing 3D models.
I labelled some of the lines with their axis. And for those with multiple, I named all of their axis starting with the axes that the line is going through the most!
Great lesson Marshall, feeling like it’s starting to make sense 👍
But I suspect that we’re just getting started!!
Happens all the time. I know the info but there is some disconnect. then you see someone else do it and it clicks.

these were fun. I would like to thank Mr. Vandruff for turning me onto graph paper. Never thought to use it. but now it's go to for plans. will work on the booth and rotating table in the next days. I don't see me using graph paper. but instead setting up a perspective shot .
