thank you so much for the compliment @Marshall Vandruff it really means a lot. i never feel very confident that i'm doing things well so it's very nice to hear ⸜(｡˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝♡

Great work from many students in this critique!! This morning's practice: (under alternate assignment) I took an earlier post from the rooms assignment and tried to put it in a 5-point perspective. This was hard because the room is L-shaped. So maybe it came out totally wrong, but while following the grid there were not many choices for a change in direction of the walls. I will probably see if this is all wrong after more lessons and practice :)

Super helpful reviews Marshall, will try the perceptual exercise, definitely the fun in perspective lies in the intuitive approaches..cheers

@Marshall Vandruff Ineed help. I'm trying to use perspective to draw a 3/4 head thinking of a cube, and then the same head same position, but rotated back around an imaginary axis going through its ears. OK the rotated head/cube has it's own vanishing points, but where do i put them on the horizon line ? ok again it probably depends if i want distortion or not (and also do i want a third vp - the choice is mine i suppose) but what i c nt get is: compared to the vps of the head/cube in the first position what happens to the vps of the second position? I fell there is a mathematical relation like (stupid example): when tilting back a cube the vps come closer together but stay at the same position relative position to the center of the object?? I'm missing a key here and all my tilting cube and heads results in frustration and a fear of getting it wrong as i have to use my intuition and its got no data to compute around - i have intuitively no idea what the vps should do so I'm stuck! any info most welcome! 🙏

Thanks, Marshall. I’m having a blast with the dramatic and curvilinear stuff, it feels like it’s opening doors with intentioned curves, hand control and weird poses. So I’ve been trying to do more awkward poses and invent my own characters from imagination in those perspectives to see what works and what doesn’t. :3 It’s hard sometimes to figure out how much foreshortening when it’s organic things but it’s nice to see things take shape regardless. Like I made that. He didn’t exist before me 😆

I only had 2 minutes to do this from an armchair - it's all in the direction of the ellipses????

Thanks for your time and critique. I do have a question about the alternate Assignment for environments. Am I right in saying you want us to cover the sides of the image and just draw it as if it was in one point and then slowly reveal more point in the reference and copy those points? Yes? Maybe?

Thank you! It was extremely helpful! The privilege is mine, Sensei!

Thank you so much, Marshall :). These critiques are always so insightful as well as motivating <3. I am currently still playing catch-up with the course, but I am already thrilled for what's to come. Great work everyone!
