All these tricks are already giving me ideas! Thanks Marshall for the lesson!!

So I followed Marshall’s advice and tried to make an illusion. After sketching some boxes, I cleaned it up with a ruler and added a cylindrical pipe between the two boxes with some misalignment to make it look like an illusion. Not really the best design, but that’s all I could think of. I also did another sketch with just a box with windows. Also realised how hard it is to draw a straight line even with a ruler if I don’t do it on a flat desk.

You dare to lay bare your freehand-vs-straight-edge contrasts — grand act of humility that I trust will help your growth. One reminder: as often as possible in your studies, draw "through the form" to the other side, at least lightly. It may seem tedious, but it gets you in the habit of developing that accountable x-ray vision.

Got em and ready to go Marshall!!

Hello Fellow Artists! I am Chekdot 😁. Besides being able to understand perspective, my immediate goal is to be able to draw vehicles in perspective. Additionally, I struggle a lot with making wheels in perspective. Examples below, some are from a movie, Redline (hope that's OK) which has extreme perspective and some from Evangelion artist Yoshiyuki Sadamoto.

Hey chekdot, These are pretty nice, especially the gesture, they have nice flow. In your first figure you are having some proportion issues, and you need to think about how gravity will effect the forms. The second figure is feeling odd because the left arm is saying we are looking down at the figure, but the figure is looking straight on. I did some quick sketches and some notes so you can see what I mean, I hope it helps :)

Thank you Steve. How could I make the spine/center line less flat?

I went through the fantasy female figure course and learned a lot from it. I started focusing on fantasy female figure. After going through all the courses, I can definitely see improvement overall, but I still don't see this on the same level as Patrick. I understand it takes a lot of practice and time to achieve that kind of mastery. However, I would still love some feedback on this on how I can get closer to the results like Patrick achieves. Thank you very much in advance!

I attempted something similar but with a different pose. Applied, or tried to, what Patrick suggests throughout his drawing. Anatomy is still a learning point for me and having better control over the values as well.

My final submission. This started as a very different idea where a man was supposed to be fighting the snake, but I was unable to get a proper gesture for the man. so now this is just an angry snake. Also I am not good with environments, which I am still working on. So excuse the ugly backgrounds.

Very expressive. Nice job!
