I appreciate this demo and I will try to do it on my own a well but can I make a request? I’m struggling a bit with the project of drawing rooms/spaces from the previous video… Marshall can you do a demo of placing multiple objects inside a confined space? I seem to struggle with the camera placement and distortion of the objects when I try to picture myself standing in the room…

I am struggling a lot with self-critique in this course (well, in life…) and I was already thinking about giving up here. Thinking I am not able to keep up with you all. Now this anvil got me back in the game. I think I have never seen one, but I guess mine looks like one ;-) The proportions are probably a little off, I fought terribly with all my line systems - but overall I was able to enjoy the process.

Brain is still hurting, may attempt another one when I'm feeling strong...

Eye balling for dimensions. little nerve wrecking, but fun. video explained all at a nice pace. horn seems a bit short. I am blaming it on the perspective Angle.

fiuhh, 1 down!

First attempt

Calculating perspective has always been a painful thing

Followed Lin’s idea to use the ortho. That helped in drawing along with the video, although I mostly did rely on the instructions. It’s already hard enough to find the right grid, the proportions, all of it. It not perfect, but still… Ta-daaah…. :-)

That was much more difficult than I anticipated. Especially that last doo-hickie-knotch-thing on the bottom back. Marshall, I think you forgot to include it in the tutorial. And were you singing One Hand, One Heart from West Side Story???

I did not use a grid on this, Its a little off compared to Marshalls.😂I drew a race car the other day and played around with the shape of it by Tracing over the original. I thought it maybe be a little quicker when experimenting. I also attempted one of my Orthos that I avoided using during the course because it was so inconsistent. My other Orthos aren't very consistent either come to think of it. 😂

I loved this exercise because I finally understand how curves are just directional averages of planes affected by foreshortening. And how the axes of the ellipse are the coronal, sagittal, etc. divisions of planes which in layman speak is basically just front, side, top, bottom of the object where the direction changes. But I got lost in the lines some where the bonky thingy gets narrower on all the axes and you have to place the bottom of the bonk on the unseen bottom of the base. I ended up gauging what felt not too bad so there’ll be a discrepancy between what’s there and where things should be. I actually suspect the two parts are misaligned because it overfills the base😆 . The people who said looking up is harder than down were right. I should have used your orthos from the video, instead of just the thumbnail video drawing, that one is on me. Still learned a lot, had fun, survived more challenges than I thought I would

Nice demo!!!!

Funhouse proportions executed perfectly. My order for iso paper, also executed perfectly.
