Happy that this assignment has got me thinking about the position and direction of objects in space, relative to the viewpoint! I did struggle with foreshortening the boxes and ended up drawing a whole bunch of them as practice before this page. As much as I tried to be consistent with the angles and proportion (without spending too much time on one page), I definitely need a dose a practice for that too!

Trying to play catchup. I decided to challenge myself to draw the boxes and arrows with the reference from the lesson, and then draw them again from memory. How I drew from memory was by remembering which corner/side and their axes were the closest (which I've drawn in thicker lines); this helped me to visualise the approx angle of the scaffolding/construction box before drawing the arrow. The proportions are definitely not accurate, however as Marshall said, it's ok to eyeball it for now as it's not the main focus. The main focus is to Strangely though, I seemed to have all the up/down/left/right arrows roughly proportional to each other. While the diagonal arrows also have similar proportions to each other, but different to the up/down/left/right haha. Great exercise as always, thanks Marshall!

Proportions are a bit off…

These are my flags ... i think the proportions and measurements comes next. regards

I’m really enjoying this process!! Also realizing the three core cubes in the compass are one, two and three point perspective was a revelation

Although late, I did them !

here are my boxes and arrows facing us directly, to the left and right, above and below, above and to the left and right, and below and to the left and right.

From left to right: Above right, below front, above left, above left again, below right, above right, below left, above right, above left aaand i feel like abovish left. 😅

Here's my "Arrows in Every Drirection" and "9 Basic Positions" drawings. I still haven't worked out the Nine Basic Boxes with respect to proportion accuracy, my arrows might improve when I get my head around the boxes. I started using comparison measurement marks on a piece of paper. It got confusind so I started numbering the marks to ensure I was using the correct reference comparisions. I found it easier saying 4 to 5 or 8 to 10, etc, rather than small mark to small mark or big mark to big mark or red mark to red mark. Thanks again for the entertaining video instruction. Any advise as to drawing the 9 Basic Positions accurately freehand would be much appreciated. :)

Definitely takes alot of energy to do this. I find it Really interesting how it boils down to form transformations on a box in perspective. As a beginner people always tell you to draw things in boxes, but knowing how to use the box you created is actually very hard.

I tried playing around with the arrows to improve my intuition and imagination. I'm not sure if I succeeded in my execution, but I'm pleased with the result for now.

Hi! The arrows were a little more tricky than I thought they would be. These are great exercises! Such a good introduction to perspective- I'm really looking forward to the rest of this course. This level of thoroughness and instruction is really incredible. Thank you for putting this course together, Marshall! I'm working actively on overcoming perfectionism and finishing assignments/pieces even if I don't feel they're "perfect." Lots of inner work happening.

Playing catchup, not in linear order! Here is this assignment first. I am very excited to finally get into measuring foreshortening soon. I tried jumping in a little early for the arrows. but some might not be 100 percent accurate! That's ok though, its a learning process!

The arrows were trickier than expected. Especially the Above Left/Right ones. I'm not sure if the difficulty came from the foreshortening or just me doing it wrong (or both). The "improved" Above Left still looks a little wonky to me.

The lessons on arrows look amazing. I'd like to catch up with these, Any chance of postponing the deadline?

Here in this assignment I did look at the boxes and arrows while drawing them. I did not draw from memory. will try to draw from memory at a later stage.

Thank you for arrow lessons Marshall. I am heading the right direction now, and as always I need more time :))
