I'm curious as to why you only use parallel lines during perspective. Are there cases where you use 2 or 3 point perspective, and if you did would you apply it during that step?
"Make friends who are artists."
Any proko courses on this? :) :(
also it helps if you dont know who you are talking to so conversation flows naturally. i think i just happen to meet people by accident because i step outside and draw attention by being invested in art. it happened more when i lived in the big city less in my small town. but i met some famous artists this way. but we started talking mostly because of their dog or outfit and the view or such. i chat with everyone nice on the street anyway. because old people chatted me up at bus stations all my life
rephrase this to how to network. how to make friends is a different topic. contacts are supposed to wash each others hands and only possible if you can provide value. friends are just happy to interact because you are a mood boost. however, taking advantage of friends is not nice. contacts can become friends and vise versa but it is more uncommon
Step one go outside...
step two realize artists don't go outside.
Hmm I see your point- HELP US PROKO!

Here is my first attempt after learning how to draw isometric cubes.
https://youtu.be/7t4ycR3fXJ4?si=lXAMt_VYnaugiao9 I used this video to help me learn how to use the tools.
I picked 2 cm as the height of each cube then projected to the corner to find the width of each cube. Cleaned up initial drawing with a light box.
Side note vellum is very expensive and hard to find where I live.
I was intimidated by the idea of a light box but I bought the one in the image for less than a pack of vellum on amazon. It's LED and very thin.
People also use tablets as light boxes and there are guides online.

Thanks for sharing that link. Good to see we're in a worldwide club of learners.
And to thin that the new LED lightboxes are cheaper than a pad of vellum?! Who'd have thunk it?

If anyone else is like me and unsure how to start this video shows the basics of making an isometric cube with a tsquare and 60 30 triangle https://youtu.be/7t4ycR3fXJ4?si=lXAMt_VYnaugiao9
One challenge i had is that I can't flip my cheap plastic triangle well like he does in the video but you can rotate it to get 30 degrees in the opposite direction. As in my example pictures.

Thanks for sharing that link, and showing your transparent triangle. They may be less durable, but they are nicely transparent like good friends.

It kind of feels like this assignment came out too soon. You very briefly mentioned isometric perspective but I don't know the rules or angles to use.
I know the triangles are used but I don't know how. I see you stack them sometimes but the example is cut up so much I can't see what you are doing.
Not trying to be negative but this feels like I should go read about isometric perspective some where else before attempting this.
A demo on basic isometric cubes showing how to use the tools would help me alot.
I agree, I really thought that this course would have more demos in it. TBH I'm a bit disappointed with it so far, these little 10 min clips aren't really helping me sadly and I was excited for the course
Hi, there. I felt that it was a bit fast-paced too. So I slowed down the video and paused multiple times to get an idea for how to use the tools. Hope this helps!

Getting more excited with every video and thinking about what I want from this course.
I do feel intuitive drawing and perspective has always been quite hard for me, but I have been scared to use tools as everyone says they will dull your skills and hurt you in the long run.
I really want to master perspective I think knowing the math and science behind it will help my intuitive side. I would love to able freehand something then use these tools to give myself feedback.
Maybe it sounds silly but. But I feel a little more confident in my artistic future thinking I can improve my skills with math.

As a near sighted person, when I take of my glasses and squint it actually makes my vision more clear. So my two options are no glasses or squint with glasses on.
