added comment inAssignment - Orthos to Invented Form
Asked for help
Hello out there,
doing the orthos of my simple forms and the isometric oblique seems doable. But the real trouble starts when I try to put them into a 2 point perspective. For what I know so far I can only guess the measurements, right? Or did I miss something?

My favourite thing about orthos is that we can use one/two other views to get measurements or reference points of another view - I find that useful and very convenient.
I felt the charger was a good recap; however, I want to challenge myself for harder shapes in my next ortho.
Hope that it's ok to resubmit my crane orthos, even though I've already posted it in the 'Objects and Environments' lesson (I used the Blob Approach to draw the three-quarter view). The crane orthos was probably more suited to this lesson. The boom was the most complicated part because of all the pendant pipes. Had lots of fun though!
I like your crane so much, its so well done. Did you use a reference or were you able to create one on your own? I'm asking cause Id love to try this one out, thanks for helping me out.

Cool that you made the head turn instead of just making it a completely stiff pose. I didn’t even think about that you can do that, but it obviously works

wow, huge step for me. No ruler, no measurements, done really only by hand from a real life object,…. tada….. a dirt brush ;-)

what a great exercise, I like it a lot. And my new dream for 2025 is drawing my kitchen machine ;-).
I have two questions for Marshall/ the experts:
Do you recommend using the parallel lines on your triangle for constructing? I wouldn't know how to deal without them, but I feel that they are a bit of a source for imprecision, right?
When doing the 3/4 view I simply use the given measurements, one by one, starting by drawing a box with the x/y/z axis, is that a correct way of doing it?

Ok, found a new perspective rule: if you've made a mess, take the golden pen out and you'll see it less.

I find the ones, where the vanishing point is "inside" (?) not very believable. Ok, done by a beginner by hand, which might be the most suitable explanation why. Or is it more readable if I'd put the vanishing point not straight in the middle?

Your shading creates the effect of it being an "interior" instead of an object. When the vanishing point is directly behind the cross in 1point perspective, we wouldn't see any of the 3D effect because it's all behind the front plane. The back plane is becoming visually smaller as it goes back in space. Having the vanishing point off to the side allows us to see the side planes.

Unfortunately I struggled so much doing a stone-landscape. Maybe because I hardly ever drew anything out of imagination or even out of a flow. So I had to incorporate manmade forms to help me out. The result is still embarrassing, but I am here to learn..
I have that in common with you, but I think your drawing is really cool! I love the way you reference ancient ruins. So much scope for this exercise.
