HELP PLEASE. I've watched this first video a million times, but w/out the full plotting to the VP on the right side cabinet, I can't get the inside of that cabinet. Then when adding refrigerator, I can't make the sides line up w/ inside corners of cabinets. What am I missing? Sounds very easy rectangle on the wall & plot it forward. Why isn't this working? Thank you for your responses

In the picture on the right it looks like you have the front and back of the right hand cabinet running to the vanishing point when they should be vertical and the top and bottom corners should run to the vanishing point.

Some rooms in one point perspective and a deer I drew from a photo playing with my new fountain pen. I know I am too heavy handed and need to lighten up on my lines. I left most of the construction lines and didn’t really finish the drawings. I also found this very difficult to make look nice and clean without a straight edge.

Nice work! I’ve wanted to go to the local zoo to draw but I’m too chicken

Are there any good books that go into the Depths of "mathematical Precision" of Perspectiv? I would like tom know what that looks like.

I’m not an expert on perspective but I’ve found this to be a very good book. There is also a volume 2 which I haven’t picked up yet but definitely will.

I really got behind this summer and have just caught back up, first post since May. My lines are a little bit sloppy as I’ve been trying to use the overhand grip.

Hi ! Welcome back with us then ! Experimenting new ways to draw or even new tool is a nice way to add variety in our every day practice and can sometimes help to stay motivated (at least for me). Concerning your submission, your line sometimes look a bit too bold, I think you should sharpen your pencil a bit more often when you draw. You definitely have nice gesture ! Good job. I think you should pay attention to shape design, some arms have a bit the "snowman effect" (upper 5th drawing arm for example) I hope it helps ! Keep drawing with us ;)

The three artists I studied were Carl Rungius, Rembrandt, and Glenn Vilppu. One thing I noticed was that I seem to be losing focus by the end of my drawings and my line consistency is almost like I am a different person by the end of the drawing and the end doesn’t match the beginning.
Andrea Böhm
I think you did a very good job with your Carl Rungius studies being the best. Maybe the Glenn Vilppu misses the fluidity and some of the softer tapered lines of the orginal.

Top - hierarchy of importance, Bottom - shadows and light

I found the penguin somewhat harder than the others so I had to try more times. I drew the hand much faster than the other references. I am enjoying the course.

My level 2, maybe more of combining 2 images rather than drawing from imagination but I’m very happy how it turned out.

Level 1, 2nd time through. I’m still having trouble not leaving enough room on the page.

This has helped me: Make a subtle mark for the top and the very bottom of the image. Also mark the widest points on either side, this helps to define the 'envelope' or 'container' shape.

I'd suggest trying to doca half page drawing, if you over size it will still fit
