added comment inAssignment - 5 Tricks to Make Your Drawings Look 3D
Asked for help
I have to study Jeff Smith for my art job, so, might as well combine that assignment with this one!
Image 1:
Diminution: 4, Characters clearly different depths and sizes from each other.
Convergence: 1
Foreshortening: 1
Overlap: 2, ground plane helps exaggerate the distance between foreground and middle-distance characters
Atmosphere: 2, the trees on the right fade into blackness, as does the ground plane
Image 2:
Diminution: 3, cart is proportionally smaller than it would be if it was not affected by diminution.
Convergence: 5, cart displays strong 1 point perspective, as well as the floor plane
Foreshortening: 5, cart is in a very foreshortened state
Overlap: 5, characters in front of the door, overlapping the cart, and the sloping ground plane
Atmosphere: 1
Image 3:
Diminution: 2, a little bit with the character sizes
Convergence: 1
Foreshortening: 1
Overlap: 2 tiny bit with the branch at the bottom of the panel
Atmosphere: 4, the way the trees and foliage fades into white in the background
Image 4:
Diminution: 2, the puddles on the path
Convergence: 2, Path ground planes slightly converging back in space.
Foreshortening: 1
Overlap: 2, rocks and branches
Atmosphere: 5, the "grumping" figure in the distance emerging from the solid black.
And he manages to accomplish all this with only black and white at his disposal! So amazing.

how do you guys post pictures on the community? I know this is a dumb question but I haven't been able to figure it out.
When you click in the text bar, a little button that looks like the sun over some mountains should appear in the bottom left of the bar. If you click it, a window should pop up that you can drop image files into. The only dumb question is the one that doesn't get asked! 👍

Gave it a try studying rapids as well.
I found it very clear to start with ellipses then I sketched on top the supporting details. I tried to show the rounded form of water falling off the edges but it was tough. The foam was 😭
Feedback always appreciated!

I applied what was discussed here and I am blow away by the outcome. I used one roun brus and tried to vary the thickness and size of the elipses. I didnt have any reference, i just made something on the spot on scrap sheet of watercolor paper... WOW! this way of thinking about every day things might just be a game changer for me
