Just like in the last demo, I’ll be using orthographic views to draw an anvil, but this time we’re looking at it from eye level.

Happy Anvil Day!

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...

the same thing happened for me where the horn got absolutely squished. i must also add, that i for some reason find the first drawing very appealing to look at!

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.

Again, tasting the hellish suffering of doing this freehand.. Also I messed up the length of the box midway through. The middle box/ellipse part is the hardest part since they are too close to the horizon line.

Silly question, but are we supposed to be working off our own anvil Orthos or one of our previous orthos or just following a long with the video?I found myself 2 point perspective paper thought I would give it a try.

This is hardly an assignment. It's a demo to show you things I did not explain with the airplane demos: how to find points "within" a box, on a grid, with more care for proportions.
I recommend that you do your own chosen objects — the ones you want in your brain because you love to draw them.
And I'm happy to see that we both have anvils on our brains.

ANGUISH DE PROFUNDIS HELP ME, OOOH MARSHALL!!!
when a vp is pf the page, or very very out of the page, what "rules" do you use to eyeball a grid from it in a credible manner? draw the lines of the grid from the edge of an ellipse??? this drives me MAD!!!🤪🤪🤪❤️❤️❤️

A bit more measured perhaps (though it can be quick and eyeballed) but if you happen to have Stan’s beginner course he shows one way to do this. I think it’s from Andrew loomis. Start with a horizon level and with two lines towards the two VP directions, then you divide the page border into equal spaces and draw the rest of the lines. This ensures they all go to the same VP even if you don’t take the lines all the way:

Not quite sure that I know what I’m doing, but hopefully in the next one.

These perspective assignments have been proving to be extremely enjoyable. It's like figuring out a big puzzle.

Thanks for the invented 3d demo drawing from orthos views.

Hello Marshall, thank you for the demos!
When watching the demos I’ve been drawing the anvils and arrows myself while following along, but I always choose to draw the object in a different angle than the one that you do in the demo.

I thought that this might make me have to think harder, and make me unable to accidentally just copy without understanding, but I’ve also found that it has some downsides, such as that I sometimes don’t know what I did wrong when making a mistake -I think it would be easier to diagnose the mistake if I could see the correct way in your demo.
