Thank you!
It turned out to be a really fun assignment!

I realized I had the perspective wrong, so I reworked it

The walls on the left house are still crooked if you are looking to get accurate perspective. It can help to just keep it simple and use 2 point perspective if you need to, any vertical lines will just be vertical on the page. If you are going for 3 point, make sure that each vertical line is aimed at the same vertical vanishing point.

While practicing and doing the technical assignments Marc encourages everyone to use the most refined lines possible to increase accuracy and easily identify problems.

Keep at it and keep posting your progress! If you have troubles with figuring out which lines are still wrong in the house feel free to ask.

Okay, so I took Peter H 's advice, and reworked this again... since it was supposed to be two point perspective and not three point .

Looking much more better!, i think you just need to check the windows turning the corner they are a bit off.

As far as a technical aspect goes, much better! I can see the converging lines tell where the vanishing points are. There will be a section in one of the perspective videos about how to measure the foreshortening of boxes by finding a mid point and drawing diagonals.

I am not sure if I mentioned it before, but I do adore the sketchy and whimsical look of those first images, very fun, very alive, a joy to look at. They just aren't technical exercises which is what a lot of the early lessons are about.

Its looking good, keep at it!

Projects from the photoshop class-- I'm feeling much more comfortable using shortcuts now :wink: That said, the digital manipulation was not something I enjoyed-- I'm pretty okay with color correction and photo adjustment, but the other projects were... stressful.

Thank you!
This really brightened my day.
I hope that I can challenge myself by drawing what I really want to draw but still follow the rules of the assignment-- hopefully it won't slow me down too much. Perspective is not something that flows naturally for me.
...I also redid the piece again.

The last assignment from the anatomy class

I like your perspective assignments they look really cool. I hope you don't mind a bit of feedback on this figure drawing.

You did a good job with this one but I noticed that the elbow and knee were just a bit off, both have just a bit of foreshortening. I drew the red lines to show what I mean. One thing I've found helpful is to find the lines between unrelated landmarks ( like the nose and the knee in this drawing ), and then use those as a guide.

I hope that's helpful and keep up the good work!
