Thank you, the encouragement means so much. This changes my whole outlook on those moments when you know something is wonky but no matter what you try it just won’t look right. Appreciate this class, appreciate you and all the people here I get to learn from (especially @Smithies because our crits are often together 😆 I feel connected)

LESSON NOTES

What's in Premium?

In this premium lesson, we dive into practicing arrows in every direction. You'll learn how to simplify complex curved forms into basic shapes to better understand their structure. We'll discuss transforming twisting arrows into blocks to clarify direction and prevent misinterpretation, using the principle of diminution to convey depth effectively.

We emphasize the importance of practicing the basics and redoing exercises to build a strong foundation. If you're facing challenges with perspective, we'll guide you on thinking in terms of X, Y, and Z axes to improve your drawings.

You'll also learn how to apply these skills to more complex objects, like airplanes, and understand how perspective changes with orientation. Finally, we'll preview upcoming lessons on establishing perspective using eye level and horizon, and finding hidden points within structures.

Let's review your arrows and planes assignments, focusing on form, perspective, and simplifying complex shapes.

Thanks for the critiques and learned a lot! Great point on play vs discipline…I definitely tend toward play and sometimes get too carried away by sudden ideas and concepts that I don't quite have the skills to pull off. Creates a sloppiness which I need to work on. So, will focus on more focus, in a disciplined way!

Agreed. There were so many inspiring drawings in the community I can't wait to study them. @Lin those foreshortened arrows are so good @Josh Drummond @Lucie VERGNON and @Blondie the good with your curvy ones, @rupertdddd with your insane aeroplanes and so many more of you wonderful classmates. Your technical skill is so inspiring and keeps me motivated to draw more! Thanks Marshall for the lessons and critiques!
