Thanks for the Draftsmen on Colour. What do you think about the book by Michael Wilcox: Blue and Yellow Don't Make Green (Or How to Mix The Colour You Really Want - Every Time) ?

Here’s my follow along for Anvil demo 3 -my other drawings are on a comment on Anvil demo 2 along with a question! These are fun Marshall 👍

I used the 3D model from the Basics Course so my anvil has a slightly different shape but here are my orthos and the three view points. In the first one, looking from above, I feel like I didn't foreshorten then anvil enough and it looks very elongated. I think the other two are better. Also, it really helped starting with drawing cross-sections of the envelope box (in yellow) - this helped me to see the box dimensional and not just a bunch of crisscrossing lines ;) As I was drawing the eye-level view, I started to wonder: how would one do it in three point perspective? Would the third vanishing point be above or below the horizon and what would it depend on? Or would there be two more vanishing points and the anvil would be distorted as if by a fish-eye lens?

I have drawn so many anvils. Many didn't get seen through to the end because they became lost causes, but here are two I saw through. The one facing away... It might have been a problem with my measurements, maybe it really is that foreshortened, but the horn is barely visible. I could cheat it by elongating my cube and adding it in...

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.
