Calculating perspective has always been a painful thing

Followed Lin’s idea to use the ortho. That helped in drawing along with the video, although I mostly did rely on the instructions. It’s already hard enough to find the right grid, the proportions, all of it. It not perfect, but still… Ta-daaah…. :-)

That was much more difficult than I anticipated. Especially that last doo-hickie-knotch-thing on the bottom back. Marshall, I think you forgot to include it in the tutorial. And were you singing One Hand, One Heart from West Side Story???

I did not use a grid on this, Its a little off compared to Marshalls.😂I drew a race car the other day and played around with the shape of it by Tracing over the original. I thought it maybe be a little quicker when experimenting. I also attempted one of my Orthos that I avoided using during the course because it was so inconsistent. My other Orthos aren't very consistent either come to think of it. 😂

I loved this exercise because I finally understand how curves are just directional averages of planes affected by foreshortening. And how the axes of the ellipse are the coronal, sagittal, etc. divisions of planes which in layman speak is basically just front, side, top, bottom of the object where the direction changes. But I got lost in the lines some where the bonky thingy gets narrower on all the axes and you have to place the bottom of the bonk on the unseen bottom of the base. I ended up gauging what felt not too bad so there’ll be a discrepancy between what’s there and where things should be. I actually suspect the two parts are misaligned because it overfills the base😆 . The people who said looking up is harder than down were right. I should have used your orthos from the video, instead of just the thumbnail video drawing, that one is on me. Still learned a lot, had fun, survived more challenges than I thought I would

Nice demo!!!!

Funhouse proportions executed perfectly. My order for iso paper, also executed perfectly.
