I did this with the intention of having fun and play around with the distortion and line weight lessons from The Perspective and Drawing Basics course. I tried to apply a curvilinear effect on the picture but I don't think I succeeded as I would like. Plus I tried to use line weight to show depth and volume, but I don't think I did it well either. And couldn't helped to smush with the side of my hand, I tried to use a paper but it kept felling off. And on top of that I haven't drawn figures in a while. Maybe I shouldn't be asking critique for stuff I do for fun. Perhaps it is because I was trying to have fun that I didn't slow down enough to think things through. What do you think?

Spent a bit more time and applied the 5-p-p knowledge onto a personal drawing. Who knows the place? :D

Here's a 5 Point grid practice I did a couple of weeks ago. How do you guys think it turn out? I did them at work when there was no business going on. What do you see that needs work?

First 5-point-test. Took inspiration from @Stepka 's wonderful cube presentation from the next video comment section. However, here we are not looking outside in but being inside (sitting on the couch), so part of the room is cut off. Rough reference: https://www.pexels.com/photo/house-interior-photo-1428348/

I made a grid similar to Marshalls as I wanted to draw a street scene using some photos from my town,

Alright, so this time I decided to connect the tablet to the computer, fire up Photoshop and attempt a more ambitious 'go with the flow'. Came up with a boxy robot with a drink in his digits and some issues to unload. It's probably wondering why I would attempt going with lines that don't follow the orthogonal lines of the grid and cut across them in 3 dimensions instead.

Putting this here as a little tip for students who may get confused with this one.

No idea what I'm doing.

Baby steps. Had to delete an earlier version - I hope this post has no mistakes. I wonder: Do only in 4 point perspective curvilinear lines come into play? This would make the third image 2x3 perspective.

This lesson doesn't have a deadline. So is not an assignment lesson, right?

Copied the 5 point grids and ‘special case’ 3 point (pic 1), then, I dunno, I heard a challenge from Marshall to try out 6 point. Never dare a fool. After three total failures, I ‘think’ I may have got it, maybe….my conclusions so far; it has to be multiple grids stitched together somehow. Trying to join two 5 point grids at the east VP of grid 1 and west VP of grid 2 does not work, you get a ‘nowhere space’ like on an unfolded globe projection (pic 2). Trying to overlap two 5 point grids also does not work - it destroys the spatial relationships between any objects within each grid (pic 3). Looking at the two examples Marshall showed, the verticals are parallel not convergent, so back to special case three point. But that does not solve the nowhere space problem (pic 4). That was frustrating. Looking again at the examples, there are no East-West VPs even through there is horizontal convergence in two directions. So, the grids do overlap, but their East-West VPs are also clipped…no vertical VPs, no horizontal VPs. There are also more than just 2 grids. I think with 6 point perspective we must ditch multiple VPs in X, Y, Z dimensions and move to a cone of vision ideology - eg 60 deg….so for an entire 360 deg view, you have 6 clipped grids in the west-east dimension, parallel verticals and 6 x 1 point perspective vanishing points (only the Z dimension) to get 6 point perspective…..in pic 5 below I’ve drawn a 180 deg view only, but it is in 6 point perspective. You would double it for a full 360 deg view to get all 6 VPs in the frame. Presumably you could do this with any cone of vision angle but only 60 deg cone would be 6 point perspective! Last observation, any object that crosses the boundary between two clipped grids will be quite deformed - it will have a fold. I see that the armchair in the Elsa Winter example is drawn over a grid boundary with some artistic licence ie it seems to sit outside of the rules for that 6 point perspective projection. Now, I could be totally wrong on ALL of the above, which would be quite embarrassing. But either way I’ll learn something.

First try at the 5 point grid. Feedback is welcome.

Just experimenting.

Here's my step into this quantum realm. I went freehand with ink. Lots of manic lines as getting those curves from VP to VP was a bit of a challenge. Don't know if the results are too satisfactory.

MY GOD I SEE THE WORLD IN 5D!! I see it!!!! 🙀🙀😻😻😻🤩🤩🤩

WAOOOOOO Marshall this is MASSIVELY COOL!i never thought i'd get 5 points but you brought us here on a magic carpet: i get it!! so many thanks! how do with use that with characters? is that part of the second part of the course? (yes kim jung gi is on my mind)😍😍😍😍

This is great! Another lesson worth re-watching. I have noticed this in some of Kim Jung Gi's drawings. Now I know how it works.

Its been a LONG time since ive had so many ideas buzzing around in my head, very relieving, definitely doing more!

Thank you so much. This course is opening my eyes more and more, I am so grateful to be part of this journey.

Thank you for the lesson, Marshall. After watching this I can't help but feel aware the presence of 2 side vanishing points at the edge of my eye vision. Perhaps it's because our eye lens are curve-shaped? It makes me appreciate how wide our field of vision actually are, an opposite of tunnel-vision.. sky-vision? :p Now I can finally enjoy and analyze Omao's perspective showcases. It's so exciting, how many creative ways we can storytell by playing around this concept. For the first art piece tho, I'm not quite certain whether the upper walls bend due to distortion or just being a curved ceiling.
