"Baby, I got completely lost in your... lines". Kidding aside, this was an interesting one and a fun process, should've probably kept the projection closer to the top ortho. The more complex the top ortho the harder it is to keep track of which line projects where!

The steps look stretched in terms of height. Is this due to the foreshortening or did I screw up somewhere?

Well, I found myself throwing in the towel after 3 attempts at starting over. Maybe my choice of object was too ambitious but I found myself being thoroughly lost and confused about how to proceed with elevations, extensions to the picture plane and their subsequent projections, slopes (especially the gradual ones), extended edges and the works. I feel quite defeated right now. And it's by a dustbin (UK: 'litter bin', US: 'trash can').

Time consuming, but a lot of fun! I think that, for how complicated the object was, I did quite okay. What I am sure I fumbled is the circular chimney part. Is there any way to do it? I did box the ellipse appropriately (although I maybe did not inscribe it appropriately to that box?), but when I saw it in the end, it is wrong. How could I go about it?

I am being late on the assignments and I know I owe no explanation but I want to mention just in case. I have a lot of (good) major life changes going on in real life and they are eating up my time. Once things settle down I will catch up. Everyone's work is amazing and motivating, hope I will get back soon!

First attempt using my brake pad from a previous assignment. If I did my calculations correctly, apparently the top pad isn't even visible from this angle, but I feel like that's wrong. Idk, it feels like you should be able to see at least a little bit of the pad sticking out from under the top plate. Also the Zolly effect was a complete accident, should've put the viewers eye a bit further back

This took me 2 hours and was very difficult because I have dozens of vertical lines next to each other which makes everything confusing. I wonder if the main point of this exercise is to obtain perfect proportional measurements? And if so it personally felt like too much effort and less satisfying/fun compared to repetitive eyeballing proportions.

I decided to warm up for this one by trying 2 variations of the corner on the picture plane. In one, I've placed the viewer directly in line with the front corner, in the other, slightly off to the right. In the former, my X and Z lines projected back to the VPs as expected, and the Y lines were nice and vertical. In the latter, the Z lines ended up not lining up with the Left Vanishing Point exactly. Did that happen for any other reason other than small errors in the parallelism of the horizon lines or projection lines? Would love any clarity. Also, some absolutely ambitious looking projections have already been pulled off here as I can see! Keeping me nice and intimidated for choosing mine!

Shamelessly stole the idea from @Anthony Hernandez and practised one-point projection as well as differently angled objects with distance to the picture plane. I eyeballed the one vanishing point going out of the canvas since procreate wouldn’t let me enlarge the document further. Also I didn’t use orthos for the side / front view on purpose and objects from memory.

this is an excrutiatingly painful experience to me.. It really test your patience, and eventually I gave up doing this freehand. Lines get so messy, so eventually erased a lot of the lines but keep them slightly there to be able to be traced. It seems the vanishing point can still get pretty far that it went outside of canvas, while the right vanishing point is quite close to the object/viewer. I think what happened is, the viewer is too far away from the object, that explains why the object appear more flat similar to Marshall's demonstration in the proximity lesson. Also Since the door/gate is quite close to the eve level, it gives the illusion that it's perspective is wrong, when compared in relation to the windows. i'll probably try more simple examples next time

For the assignment I did several books stacked on a table and then some glasses on top. I figured out the projection for each object individually and then stacked each layer on top. Submission: 1. Orthos of the Objects 2. Table Plan Projection 3. Book 1 Plan Projection 4. Book 2 Plan Projection 5. Book 3 Plan Projection 6. Glasses Plan Projection 7. Everything! 8. Final Image Lines 9. Final Image Color

As promised, another boxier one with multiple simplified projections. Eyeballing the details, keeping it reduced and not adding every tiny detail yet. Also: Blender to the rescue! :D Since I don't have much stuff, I used the cassette player 3d model from Polyhaven and extracted the orthographic views from that (easy with orthographic view in Blender), then drawing and not checking the perspective until finished. Great practise. And yes, I angled the front button too much (wrongly followed the other line back and the thick edge actually doesn't go all around. I need to stop being so damn impatient ...). Oooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga... I AM HOOKED ON A FEELING

The hamster that runs the wheel in my head got quite the workout with this one!

Since I am a minimalist, I have a really hard time coming up with objects to study (a challenge I didn't anticipate lol). I have a lot of round objects, but not so many boxes or only very basic boring box objects (like books). In hindsight I should have started with something boxier. I'll probably use some 3D objects next. Blender to the rescue! :D Definitely a lovely challenge with all the lines! However, I wasn't motivated to do multiple projections with this thin object, but I'll do that too in another try.

I find this very interesting. Being able to find out exactly how much something forshortens is very satisfying. Makes me wonder if there is away to do planned projection from the sideview. My best guess is doing the same thing sideways.

The hexagon shape we did for the xyz episode gave me so much trouble I figured I’d have another go with it and project a hexagonal ortho. This was a serious struggle but I think i got there! I’m so proud haha.

Hi @Marshall Vandruff, thanks for the cool lectures! Really test my brain. I think I followed along correctly however I got stuck at the following. i followed your videos along in reverse, meaning I first did the red box (box at the back of the picture plane); it looked nice. However then I wanted to do the rest of the big box which had the slope (I just stole your orthos) and then it didn’t “fit” on my previous red box…but as I’m typing I found out my red line was not straight!!! in the rebound I corrected the height and then it fitted exactly with the blue height! this experience will stick to me in the future! Keep up the great work

I tried the plane. And I just don't really know how to get the Y axis correct. I think I can use the front view ortho for defining heights only in places where the picture plane is being touched. Well I simply don't understand so far how to locate the heights in complex forms. Here I just went with guessing and measuring and dividing it by eye balling…..

I’m uncertain about parts of this — my intuition told me to extend the line of the edge closest to the viewer straight up and use it to locate all the cap and dispenser parts which are within the square of the top-down view. Certain elements don’t look properly centered — I’m not sure whether my method is wrong or if my lines are just a bit inaccurate.

I hereby solemnly swear I will draw a planned projection of my room and or house using my parents plans for ref
