I saw a glimpse of the original pictures before trying to draw them by imagination. i tried to re-interpret the close view with not that good spatial understanding

Good lesson, Gave it a shot. And I think I did okay and places and the first ones were roughest. Which were the tennis court and the volley ball park I think.

After drawing these objects, i came to the conclusion that far objects look more flat and a little bit more isometric while closer objects are more exaggerated

These are very challenging! I've done 4 so far, but I want to do all of them to really get the concept fully ingrained.

Here are my submissions. For the piano, I got it more or less right but didn't consider a wide angle treatment. For the truck, I went all wide angle when I didn't need to and went closer to the left rear corner than I needed to. For the fire hydrant, I went wide angle when I didn't need to. I think I did best on the bird house, for which I made 2 just in case and I think the correct one was somewhat their average?

Proximity exercise 4

Here is my assignment. I think I get the idea but it was harder than i thought. It felt like I had started to get it. Think about the depth and move the vp further or closer to each other, right?   Apart from the fact that figuring out how much the depth changes is tricky and I don’t tend to push it enough. Sometimes I was surprised at how much it can change. I also realized after some figuring out that if you are looking at something at an angle and move closer, the horizon line also changes. I feel lost trying to imagine that change.

Gah, I didn’t manage to finish the second half of this assignment, but i got 4 done… Here are my near to far. I am about a mile off… but things are starting to make more sense. I’ll finish the assignment at some point I promise!

A little study (inspired by Anthony Hernandez), trying to connect the dots.

Keeping the trajectory straight is difficult for some reason. I gotta revisit this assignment again in the future at some point

Here are two sets that I did. Incorrect assumptions on predicting the other picture can really throw things off. On the horse, I assumed the because sight level was about halfway up on the horse and the horse was almost as tall as the building on the close view, it would translate to something like the horse being as tall as the 2nd story in the distant view. I also placed the horizon way too low when trying to predict the distant view on the birdhouse.

Here is my assignment for the Distance focal length assignment. For this, I decided to try choosing the sign photo. I placed my Horizon Line on each drawing where I thought it should be, from both afar and close up. I may have the placement pretty decently, based on previous lectures, so I'll give it a shot on my own. Hopefully, I did decent enough on my own here. It also took me a while to figure out how to place the close-up version of the sign photo myself. Looking at the photo, I thought I did pretty decent here as well. I would love to hear your thoughts. Also, thanks for giving us the reference photos to work with, Marshall. They're a big help to learn from.

Here is my submission, using two of the photos from the "distant focal length" and trying to guess the "close focal length" view.

Hey Marshall! Thank you for these fascinating photos to analyze. I really did my best with them. On a lot of these, I tried to vary the approaches and really push the distortion from the perspective and the zolly effect as far as I could... I hope it worked. With others, I went for the opposite and tried to "flatten" the image... I would have loved to do all of them justice, but on a few, I only had time for a simple sketch. I've grouped those together into a single image. Thanks so much for everything you do!

Here are my submissions and I am pleased to be feeling the space on the close up shots.

While doing this assignment, sometimes the second photo surprised me! For example, I forgot that volleyball courts are actually quite wide (funny enough), and some of the background trees in the Close-up view were a lot smaller or further away than I expected. This was a great exercise to get my brain to think Distant vs Close-up view. I was trying to think, "What would it look like if I could walk closer or stand way further back?". I made a few mistakes along the way, but at least the second attempts look better. Update: I just watched the next assignment on Trajectory. For the volleyball court, street sign and the fire hydrant, have I accidentally thrown off the purpose of a Close-Far contrast??? Because as my above description mentioned, I imagined myself physically walking closer/further, thus changing the trajectory angle.

I copied the distant photos and, for the close-up views, drew from imagination.

Here's my last batch to be critique. Have a good night.

My assignment, worked at far away focal length from the picture, then drew close up view without consulting the pic. Then looked at the picture and corrected the close view using blue pencil
