Wow, these look awesome!

Hey Moka! Thanks for submitting your drawings, these are looking really cool! I'm glad to see you did 8 of them and were playing with different ways of employing 1pp. One thing that's helpful for me to think about when relating things in space is: as things recede into the background, they become exponentially further away. This is to say, things in the foreground are only separated by a few meters of space, but things further in the distance start receding by kilometers; a small shift in placement in the picture of something in the background will equate to a large distance shift in space. I would keep this in mind when drawing environments like this: things get really compressed the farther away they are, and it becomes a lot easier to imply information rather than sketch every rod on a fence or bridge! I also would love to see you draw using a physically larger frame as well for fun, so you have more room to put information and to create a believable space. I wish you the best, happy sketching!

Hey Brad! Thanks for submitting your drawings. For this, I wanted to point out specifically your use of value in your sketches! I think using value is actually a great way of blocking out your composition and focal points, and it's great that you were using film studies to understand composition more; I implore you to keep doing it! When using value, make sure you keep your shapes and value consistent; it helps our brain understand and group the picture into sections of space. Here is an example of me simply grouping the values to make the picture more readable, without actually changing anything to the drawing or composition. I wish you the best, happy sketching!

Hey! Good work on your compositions, they look nicely balanced. I like that most of the rendering and contrast is in the foreground. Some of your forms are a little unstable and seem to be slanting, especially your building in the third sketch. Be more intentional in the initial sketching stage and include some horizontal and vertical lines to my grid and your art will be much more balanced in the end.

Cool ideas!

I love the staircase ;)

Hi, thanks so much for submitting! I like the gestures of your characters and the amount you were able to include in your sketches. For some of your forms, however, it is not clear what their perspective is supposed to be, particularly some of the blocks and buildings. I'd put an overlay of a 1-point perspective grid on top of your sketches and compare how your forms and lines match up.

wow!

Hey Evan, thanks for submitting. You're definitely on the right track for getting comfortable with perspective! One thing I'd like to point out here is that organic objects, such as humans, animals, clouds, or even (as you have) waves, all follow the rules of perspective! You did a good job on the other compositions, which had clearer structure to showcase the perspective, but when you had to do something organic, you avoided the structure. Big waves like this are almost like a half-closed cone or cylinder, and they still recede towards the horizon line. You can simplify the organic object into a basic shape (like a cone, cylinder, box, or sphere) to figure out the perspective (you might even have to combine a few basic objects together in your head or on the page, if the object is irregular like an animal). Also forgive the shaky lines, I drew this with a mouse, but it was just to illustrate the idea. Wish you the best!

These are awesome. You're using the concepts here correct, it's just at a certain point it's mileage and confidence. I'll get Rembert to do a little bit more of a detailed critique

As much as you want! You're doing a great job here, the goal with this assignment is to really push that idea of one point perspective. Once you understand it you can really go as far as you want with detail

You're doing some cool work here, but I'd emphasize the importance of drawing the grid underneath. If I were you, I'd focus on drawing your horizon line, and convergence lines, then keep them in over the top just to make sure you know where everything is supposed to be. I threw in a rough 1 point grid over the top here and change your horizon line so it's flat. But the concept is the exact same.
