Great work! Your dream castle is awesome!
I know you posted this a while ago but do you remember how you adjusted the color of the beach image? It looks spot on!
I don't quite remember the order but I do know I used multiple rounds of adjustments. (for example start with color balance, then use hue/saturation, then levels/curves, then go back to color balance or hue/saturation as needed, repeat am many times as needed)
I still didn't quite get the blue of the ocean right, I was tempted to use a selection to adjust it on it's own but I don't think that's supposed to be part of that assignment.
Thanks for the tip!
Hope it helps! I'm still learning Photoshop myself.
No problem, that video was super helpful! I'm really enjoying getting this deeper understanding of perspective drawing. Here was my next try after the video:
I think I finally feel ready to start the 1 and 2 point room and street corner assignments now. (In other words, I'm not sure drawing cubes will be able to keep my attention much longer!)

I've been working on my one point perspective... I'm still having issues with some parts but I'm a lot happier with it than when I first started laying it out.
Not my actual room...
Wow you work looks really good !
Progress!
I thought I'd make the cannons all a little different to make it feel a bit more lifelike, but I feel like there might be more wonkyness going on than can be explained by that... any feedback is always appreciated!
Looks great!
Realy nice ^^19 days later
I finally finished my 1-point perspective... I ended up spending way more time on it that I meant to. I was having too much fun adding all the details to this. I will try not to make my 2-point so complicated because now I'm getting impatient to move on to the figure drawings!
Love this 🤩 So much detail, there is even a second tiny little ship 😆
I had to add something there lol, that empty space in the open window was bothering me >.<
The amount of time and effort put into this piece is apparent, you did a really fantastic job with this!

Well I lied a little bit, I ended up making my 2-point pretty detailed as well, and I did a small extracurricular concept exercise for it too... I think with these I may have been doing some subconscious procrastinating, technical things have always been my artistic comfort zone and I've always had some fear of drawing people, but it looks like there's finally nothing left for me to do but start the figure drawing!
Great work so far and I definitely understand that sentiment about technical things versus drawing people. I think it's because technical things tend to be uniformed and easy with straight or simple lines. On the other hand, people are far from uniformed and that can be nerve racking at the start!
Thanks and that's definitely true. Also it seems like to me there are almost intangible qualities that make good drawings of people/characters feel alive... so far so many of my attempts have just felt wooden and I just have so much trouble getting that alive feel... this is something I'm hoping to learn!
Thanks @marco_cprn97 !
I'm just getting started with the figure drawing but I figured I'd post what I have so far to see if there are any glaring problems before I keep going. I realized I probably drew too many things over my first round, it turned out a bit messy. I also realized the references I picked may be making it harder... it seems like these exercises are easier to do when the limbs don't overlap:
