It’s cool to see how I can actually draw the scenes in different angles. Also being able to do the 2 point perspective ones. Around a year ago I started with 2 point in the basic course and I tried to do rooms but it was so much harder than 1 point so I could not do it. Every line was a struggle. A nice reminder that I am improving. Anyway i did struggle a bit with the time. I did keep track at first but then i just kinda forgot about it, So i probably did spend longer on some of this. Then i took advice from the comments here and drew out small squares first and then just filled them. Those are around 1-3 minutes. A bit messy but i guess the time limit is there to make us focus on the perspective and not worry too much about other stuff.

I have only done 10 or so of these so far. I love looking through the student work here but I see some of you using 1 point perspective lines for this. How? The drawings look great but when I look around me I just can't 'see' that. Any pointers? Do I just choose a point and wing it??

Great exploration in this assignment, vanishing point placement is something that I wanted to learn in this course. Explored different placements via reference, which gave me some conceptual idea about the effect of it. Definitely a fun one to draw some environment.

It’s a bit like playing chess, be aware of all the moves. I wanted to keep it simple enough to find out what happens when you move the horizon line. Maybe I don’t get it?

Hey again! As I mentioned in my previous message, I just finished drawing these two scenes. For each one, I started with a reference photo, reconstructed it in perspective, and then I redrew the same scene from a different point of view 😁 The first one took me way longer than the second, as you can imagine… 😅 But I really loved this exercise, and I’ll definitely do it several more times!

Learning to draw both Above and Below eye level Assignment was truly quite challenging but I believe I grasped the most of it as I continued on with it. I decided to use a reference of a Victorian House bedroom for mine for something challenging. I started out doing mostly the same type of viewpoint trying out different angles. Then I decided to challenge myself with this one and my art thinking skill onto trying out many different angles of the room and how one shall see it from above or below as well as angled here. I believe I did a pretty good job took me a week n a half to get these 3 pages done. But I am pretty proud of this accomplishment did the timer in my head n first few took me 40 minutes then as i got used to it I got a bit quicker each time. This was such a fun challenge to go through Marshall. Hopefully I got the concept of this assignment pretty decently. I was gonna do more but as I got towards 11 my brain needed a break. Will try and do bit more in time for the critque tomorrow or the next day best I can. Hopefully these look good and would love some helpful tips or advice all is welcome and gladly will put them into my practice.

The last 4... I fought a lot, but I guess I got the main teaching point "looking up, lines go down and looking down, lines go up". I get caught a lot in comparisons unfortunately. Why are others able to make this thing aesthetically pleasing and I am not? So another learning point for me was to just concentrate on my training and progress. But the latter is a really difficult to get into my brain….

Hey Marshall, I think I took your sentence, "30 times and you'll get it, 50 times and you'll never forget," a little too seriously... 😂 After 7 hours and 30 minutes of intensive practice spread over a bit more than two weeks, I've created these 150 little scenes, exploring various angles and points of view. Now, I feel like I can instinctively locate the horizon line and angles without even thinking—it’s become second nature! 😅 The first 50 were 5-minute studies, the next 50 took 3 minutes each, and the last 50 just 1 minute each. Next up, I'll try drawing the same scene from different points of view. 👍🏻 It was a challenging yet incredibly rewarding experience. I truly feel the benefits of the effort deep down. Thanks a lot, Marshall!

I did these not quite following the rules about the timer 😬. I instead focused on noticing carefully when I made mistakes, and then I would try to figure that problem out. but I also did some of them following the time. I hope my questions about the rotated carpet makes sense… I’m glad to know that I can trust that Marshall will clear up any problems I’m having with rotating objects later in the course!

Unfortunately I'm getting started on these a bit late but the best time is always now

Quote from the video: "Sketch Examples" Are you refering to the example sketches you scroll through during the video? That's what I've been doing or it that considered copying. Looking down, lines go up Looking up, lines go down I assume the main goal of the exercise is to automate the thinking to muscle memory by repetition using the examples in the video.

This was a lot harder than I expected. I felt like I did okay when the objects stayed in the same perspective as the walls of the room, but really struggled placing objects with their own perspective in a convincing way. Not sure if some of my struggle was distortion in the room photos I used. Definitely a good exercise that I’ll have to keep in the rotation.

I tried to draw various scenes from different angles. I added a lot of details to practice keeping the proportions of the objects and their relations with the surrounding objects consistent at all the viewing angles. I struggled the most at that. Also, the extreme angles were challenging.

the 2nd batch of 16pcs Starting to get better especially understanding how to tilt all the lines when we move the horizon line up and down. But dont ask me what is that last row, have no clue myself xD

Hey everyone! Really impressed with how many iterations you’ve all managed to crank out this week. Seriously inspiring! I only managed one—got too caught up trying to make things perfect instead of just practicing more loosely. If anyone has advice on how to let go of that and build a more consistent practice, I’d really appreciate it! This is a two-story library inspired by the reference photo attached. It’s a mix of freehand and ruler work. It took me a lot longer than I expected, especially drawing through everything (including the ladder). Excuse the mess. I might go back and clean up the lines later. I wasn’t sure if the balcony and railing make structural sense. Does it seem believable? Also, I struggled with relative proportion. For example, where would you say the couch hits on the ladder behind it? Around the second rung? I just placed things by intuition, but is that what we’re supposed to do when objects are at different distances—or is there a better method? Any feedback is welcome. Thanks in advance! Always learning from you all 😊

Here's my 2nd batch. Next, my scene iterations. Maybe is the mechanical pencil feeling, my carpal tunnel or the fact I'm drawing smaller, but I can't for the life of me draw straight lines as before. I am doing Peter Han's exercise he show earlier in the course as warm-ups. Hopefully they will help. I also bought Stan's Drawing Basics course taking advantage of the sale, and I'm all set for when part 2 of this course drops. Any advice about juggling both courses and these eye-level assignments? I keep forgetting to repeat myself "Looking up, lines go down. Looking down, lines go down" and I think more of XYZ.

I have done 6 of my most recent office, I think 50 may kill me...

I tried to do each iteration with one minute less time. I feel like some of the quicker ones got a little messy though. I did the sketches in ink so that I wouldn’t waste time erasing. Should I try to make them cleaner next time or is ok to keep the messiness?

Digitally did some things around my house and next day some thumbnails of some 3d models I found. Anyone else have the problem of not knowing what they want to draw? Feels like finding interesting reference online is harder then It should be and everything around me is kinda boring. https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/tavern-by-duduoliveira-d2dfb0104cfc45de826cbbc4069f1774
