Thank you. This opened my mind in a whole new level of understanding❤️❤️❤️

Here's a memo for myself when all this fades from my brain as we proceed with other projects. Maybe it's of use - and if there are mistakes in it, please let me know :)

Hi Sita! Really enjoyed your picture plane memo! I’m still learning perspective myself, so I could be off here, but I noticed something in the 'Above the PP' and 'Crossing the PP' cases that might be worth double-checking. I’ve attached a couple of images showing what I mean, based on the idea that true height is always taken directly on the picture plane. Let me know what you think, I'm still working through this myself!

This was fun to follow along with.

Aw, what a happy little Plan Projection!

Here is my drawing, I learn, i can keep pushing the lines down. I will keep the same proportions, as the floor plan.

Great observation!

This is fun! I know that we’re not doing this because we’re gonna draw perspective like this all the time, but I’m wondering whether we’re doing this because it will come in handy a few times, or because it helps us when drawing perspective intuitively more accurately? either way I’m happy we’re learning this.

followed the video. pretty straight forward.

Take 2: Reasonably happy with this other than the very last part. I've tried multiple measurements for the braces but always end up with an ugly tangent in the back right-hand corner. Not sure how I would fix that, I have zero intuition for such things... Any-whosie! Off to the next demo!
Michael Giff
I honestly don't know why I'm so terrible at following basic instructions but... here I am. I can't get the last line to go on it's vanishing point without moving all of the other lines. Can I make corrections without blowing the whole thing up? Or is close enough fine? (it does not feel fine.)

This happens to me all the time when using vps - I think it’s really hard to be accurate enough. I just mark in all the lines from the VP to the corners and if they don’t meet i find a midpoint and use that so both are wrong but it’s near enough for me. If you’re just looking at your box without the VP constructions you’d think huh cool a perfect box in perspective. As a drawing it works. If you’re deisgning something where accuracy is life and death important, then I guess you’d redo it, but to me as a picture its good enough

This cleared up a lot for me, thanks for the demo marshall. I followed along to make notes and used as many colours as I could find and now I'm going to repeat until it sticks

I'm confused. Why do you start drawing a square first? I'm not sure what exactly an assignment is.

I think the square is just a simple ortho shape to project into 3d
