added comment inAssignment - How to Draw Above and Below Eye Level
Asked for help
Learning to draw both Above and Below eye level Assignment was truly quite challenging but I believe I grasped the most of it as I continued on with it. I decided to use a reference of a Victorian House bedroom for mine for something challenging. I started out doing mostly the same type of viewpoint trying out different angles. Then I decided to challenge myself with this one and my art thinking skill onto trying out many different angles of the room and how one shall see it from above or below as well as angled here. I believe I did a pretty good job took me a week n a half to get these 3 pages done. But I am pretty proud of this accomplishment did the timer in my head n first few took me 40 minutes then as i got used to it I got a bit quicker each time. This was such a fun challenge to go through Marshall. Hopefully I got the concept of this assignment pretty decently. I was gonna do more but as I got towards 11 my brain needed a break. Will try and do bit more in time for the critque tomorrow or the next day best I can. Hopefully these look good and would love some helpful tips or advice all is welcome and gladly will put them into my practice.

Also, another note I would like to point out as I was drawing these was that I don't believe I understood the concept yet of how changing lines helps change the horizon line change form quite yet. I could use a bit of help understanding that concept better, which would be appreciated. Also how can I improve by changing my scene view alongside my angles?

I just learned something new from this little lecture on how it can help me with the room design above and below project. Thanks Marshall I'm definitly going to remember this while I draw it.

Even though I missed my chance to be apart of the fun critique videos on the last couple of lessons. I would love to greatly appreciate on what ya did for us with this gesture drawing course Michael. I had such a blast learning on how to approach it more slowly and at my own pace alongside each assignment. They truly helped me opened up my mind a lot more on focusing on the fundamentals of it all way more then when I learned it previously through my college which I appreciate. I sure hope you plan on creating more fun courses like this in the upcoming future. I so would gladly take them as well. This was such a overall fun journey. Thanks Michael.
Once again, Marshall, I apologize for having the assignment on the Grid, making it hard to read. Also, my brain as I was drawing my object again, completely blanked out on putting the grids out, so I apologize on my behalf. I'll just have to get used to thinking and putting my grids out from now on, though, for sure. Thanks for trying your best, though, on giving me a critique though Anyway, I appreciate it. Also, I'll try and start drawing a little more neatly as well.

I returned to re-draw my playdate, the object I chose from the Zero-Point Perspective Assignment. I may have concluded I had trouble doing this one, but I went freehanded to challenge myself and my thought process yet again. Also learned how to draw it using different perspective angles, best to use both third-quarter and angled viewed perspectives this time around. I noticed I made a bit of a mistake, I believe, with the first angled one, so I went back and redid that one. Then I think I have improved using my intuition this round regarding my structure work, which I believe I did pretty well, I believe? I would love some insights on whether I did anything wrong here and how I can improve with training my Visual Intuition when prioritizing structures within my drawings. Any Advice on how to train my thoughts on my visual Intuition?
I also have noticed that after redrawing my item of choice, that I have finally learned on how to focus more on Structure over Detail with leveling up my intuition this round which I call a win, I believe I'm slowly getting the grasp of this now.

Thanks so much Marshall on giving us this treat of a bonus lecture with Kim. I still miss him so it was great to see him again. I managed to befriend him with my trips to comic con through the years little by little showing him my art whenever I made something new from college when I was taking art classes at the time. Was always such a delight on him sharing how I could improve on my art on the pieces I took with me. So this was such great joy to watch.

I thought that for this exercise, I would challenge myself by trying out freehand drawing of the airplane in orthographic perspectives. To gain a clearer understanding of the ortho perspectives we have been learning, I searched for a reference photo to help me out. Additionally, as I drew each perspective in this, I decided to incorporate the arrows we had previously used to add a brain-thinking perspective and clarify the concepts. Hopefully, I did a decent job on these; as usual, it was a super fun assignment.

This was a super fun straight to the point assignment. The one thing I must admit though, I noticed as I was drawing the arrows it was quite challenging on drawing them facing slanted directions but I think I achieved it though. I also noticed I might have not left a bit of room with the arrows with leaving enough spacing with them. I also personally thought to add in some fun directions in there like my curvature arrow on the bottom for good measures. This was a overall fun assignment and another good puzzle to conquer with the arrow direction. I might do a second page n post again tommorow with more fun directions on the arrows. One thing for sure though is when I got to the arrows when I got the top right etc spaces it kind of confused me a bit. hoping I did it right.

Finally found some time to tackle this assignment in peace. For this assignment, I decided to go the easy level and do the hexagon and stairs all freehanded. It was challenging for me to pinpoint the locations on the xyz coordinates on this one, I must admit. I also felt like taking snapshots of the objects I chose to accompany my explanation of how I tackled the assignment. Surprisingly, between the hexagon and the stairs, the hexagon presented the most challenge due to its curvature.
Additionally, to assist me with the assignment, I reviewed the video multiple times and took notes on the left-hand side of the page, which proved helpful. I may have overcome this challenge, but I'm not entirely sure if I did it correctly. I would love some heavy, heavy critique on this, but overall, just as much as I love doing puzzle-type stuff, this assignment was right up my alley as well.

Thank you so much for taking the time to create this critique video, Marshall. I had a bit of a struggle drawing my chosen item, a simple console known as the Playdate, but it was an enjoyable challenge nonetheless. I'm going to start practicing more on this subject with different items.
