So amazed by watching this performance of art. This engineering art form. Now I know the answer of many questions I had. It all makes sense now.❤️❤️

I made the mistake of the height it with the smaller room , I measured with a different line than the non forshorten reference

This took some patience but I actually enjoyed the exercise :)

I decided to give my bass amplifier this assignment's treatment. After watching this video, I understood the logic behind extending lines back to the picture plane in the plan view, as well as the logic behind extrapolating height markers back to vanishing points relative to the point that touches the picture plane in the projection. I did have a bit of a mental roadblock for a short while with the little inset cut into the top rim above the dials. I also decided to skip over the dials themselves because that would lead to lines that would need a microscope's attention. I tried to take a photo of the actual amplifier from the same angle that I drew it in, but it looks wildly different in proportion. I'm guessing it's because of the lens of my phone camera, the fact that my drawing is in 2 point perspective only, and the general error that crept in while drawing.

I love these videos, not only for the instructional value but also for the entertainment value. I must admit, I enjoy Marshall’s singing while he draws – it always makes me smile. Marshall, is being a musician another one of your talents? Here I am uploading my attempt at drawing cottage crossing the picture plane. In my case, I wanted to put the horizon line as if the viewer was at ground level. So, the horizon line is near the top part of the cottage door; sort of human height.

second go around was much cleaner and more fun to do :) i was getting less confused keeping track of all the lines and it felt like i made fewer mistakes. it already feels like improvement.

I seem to have misremembered the due date for the assignment...But it's very interesting

With how precise and accurate the technique is, it is so unforgiving of mistakes that if we did one simple part wrong, we have to go back a lot of steps to redeem it. I went into a couple of occurances where I thought it is ready, to then realize there were blunders here and there. Thanks for the demo! It seems that this lesson in particular has the most demo as it seems to be the most difficult one as well so far.. also home for SALE! very chirp!

I wanted to do this in procreate and it ended up being messy business, i had to restart several times. Does this make any sense????

Marshall, thanks for another demo. I get confused between the wide angle to see the whole object as the viewer gets closer, the field of view and the cone of vision. When you draw the VP's at the beginning am I correct to think they are at 90 degrees due to the viewer being closer hence the wide angle larger than the 60 degree cone of vision? Any advice to clarify my thinking (clunk clunk) would be great, Thanks.

I'm trying to muster the strength to re-do my submission, The 3-4 hour investment is daunting, but you taking less than 1 to achieve more is motivating.. Its coffee time

I am boykotting the cottage sorry, but I am not doing that again xD. However, this was very helpful to better understand the struggle I had last time. Thank you. I managed to solve the puzzle already, but retesting the knowledge and engraining it is always helpful and now it was so much easier.

I tried to do one where one object in the scene is rotated, creating its own set of vanishing points. I think it turned out alright, although I did make a bunch of mistakes, but I’m now confident that I’ll understand it even faster when Marshall eventually teaches us how to do it correctly. im very impressed with the course so far!

How do we know its a wide angle lense? Is it the distance of the viewer point?

NOTE: Height error between 23:00 and 24:00 - the same problem as in a previous demo: The height of the planters needed to be taken from the corner of the house on the ground, not from the corner of the shadow overhang. Sorry! Later, at 35:53, I included the correct move when I projected the corner height back to the structure. That's what I should have done earlier with the planters. Here are overlays to call out the specifics. The first one shows the planter error corrected. The second one clarifies how the door was done correctly.
