Marshall thanks for the picture plane and planned projection video explanation. You used parallel lines to find the VP's. Is there a similar method to working out the FOV without a protractor or does that come down to angle familiarity through practice using a protractor?
Dermot
Thanks :) Great End. Does that mean the course is over ! :(
@ashfin613
I think there is still a few more lessons left.
Charlie Nicholson
That won't stop Marshall
Dermot
Great Video thanks Oh, I thought this was Marshall's Perspective Course. Marshalls Perspective on Perspective as mentioned in The Draftsmen? :(

Hey Dermot! Yes, this is indeed the Perspective course mentioned in the Draftsmen podcast.

Quote from the video: "Sketch Examples" Are you refering to the example sketches you scroll through during the video? That's what I've been doing or it that considered copying. Looking down, lines go up Looking up, lines go down I assume the main goal of the exercise is to automate the thinking to muscle memory by repetition using the examples in the video.
Marshall Vandruff
Any examples Dermot. Look at all the stuff here...
Dermot
These demos are great. When drawing the grids for these demos, how do you determine the line spacing from the VP's for the grids? Is there an assignment to follow the demos?
Marshall Vandruff
The line spacing is up to you. I'm sure you don't want a hundred reminders, nor only nine. You want enough reminders to let you know which way to go with a line. And there is no official assignment. I will give feedback soon to those who post what they're doing to apply this. Draw things you want to know so well you can draw their forms from imagination!
Dermot
Thanks for the invented 3d demo drawing from orthos views.
@romero505
Hey guys, this is a practice I did a while back. I used seven values, including the white of the paper. However, I can't create that depth effect or the fidelity of the image without it looking too saturated or too dull. Should I use charcoal, or is it just my lack of skill with values? I'm thinking about doing a portrait, but I don't want it to still look like a drawing. You know what I mean? I'd like to achieve a depth effect and a shape that's fairly faithful to the reference image. I hope someone can help me. It's worth noting that I blurred the values. Yes, I know it's cheating a bit. Blessings to your families and to you.
Dermot
I look forward to these animations, brilliant Marshall, thanks. :)
Dermot
Marshall, thanks for the critique. I did print off all 12 box grids and then quickly realised I was in a spiders web of lines, without a clear understanding of the grids and their construction with respect to VP's and Horizon lines. I look forward to the lessons ahead that you mention.
Marshall Vandruff
Working on them now so that you will both understand and, like a rock guitarist, choose your distortions.
Dermot
Amazing explanation and animation. Your laugh was somewhat disturbing, throughout, though! Was Stan hurt during the stunts, in making this animation? I was surprised you put water in the pool! Thanks :)
Marshall Vandruff
Yeah, I got pretty sadistic there, but Stan seems to be more okay with it than getting sung to.
