Wow, this was really tough for me. I'm not sure, why. Maybe I'm just too tired..
LESSON NOTES

What's in Premium?

I will show you how to create detailed thumbnails on location to plan dynamic compositions. We will set up a picture frame and map out one, two, and three-point perspective grids to build a solid foundation. I focus entirely on drawing shapes and forms without relying on shading. Shading often hides mistakes. Skipping it forces you to understand the actual structure of what you are drawing. You will learn how to push perspective and use overlapping elements to create depth. I also explain how to apply line weight to make foreground objects stand out. Finally, I break down a simple trick to accurately calculate repeating details like windows in perspective.

Hey, nice job! The perspective is pretty good on most of your forms. The mannequins could use a little improvement in that they don't fully match the perspective of the setting. The point of view you've chosen has the viewer looking in on the scene from somewhere up high, while the human mannequins seem a bit flatter. Be sure to simplify their forms into basic shapes in the initial sketching stages.

I redrew this scene after Rembert addressed some of the issues from assignment 1. I realized more work is needed on diminution. Even though I tend to disguise errors in detail, I need to slow down and work on my draftsmanship too.

Wow what a trip on this one I had to see the video a few times to be able to get this

Sorry to bother but i noticed that there is a problem from 17:20, the video has a cut but the audio doesn't... I have a question about the tecniques used to get the proportion of more of the same object repeted in perspective. I saw you make the "X" then use another line to ger where the second plane ends, how do i chose this second line? Is there a specific angle or a rule to that?
Kristian Nee
Nice catch! We'll get that fixed asap. And that second line goes through the middle of the line where the first box, and the one you're trying to duplicate meet. Rembert has a tool on his website that might be useful to help visualize it. https://www.rembertmontald.com/perspective-tool
