We will take up the station point in our next lesson group, and solve concerns for its placement in the following lesson. Thank you for your kind responses, and to those of you who keep the tone respectful (and fun), you have my gratitude, appreciation, and highest hopes. Thanks!

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?

Look at Dave Sakamoto's to see. His example is not dramatic, but it answers the question - the third point simply alters the grid. Everything else is the same kind of thinking as in 2-point.
And remember that "third point" must be "away," that is, In the distance, which you discern by asking which corner is closest.
If it's at eye-level, it can then be four-point, with "away" being both up and down.
But why do that here? This is a tough-enough job for now, and if it gets easy to you (good work by the way), we will soon have opportunities to warp space with warped grids.

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...

Welcome to the world of wide-angle weirdness.
That is what happened here.
But you did the work enough to know how it's done, CB. Good for that.

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.

Any examples Dermot. Look at all the stuff here...

This was a lot harder than I expected. I felt like I did okay when the objects stayed in the same perspective as the walls of the room, but really struggled placing objects with their own perspective in a convincing way. Not sure if some of my struggle was distortion in the room photos I used. Definitely a good exercise that I’ll have to keep in the rotation.

That struggle, Michael, is how you get it.
Good work, and if it;s not all you want it to be yet, it's an great investment in getting easy with it as you go.

I have done 6 of my most recent office, I think 50 may kill me...

They look great, but no reason to do fifty at that level. Fifty is for quick-studies with mantras.
