Watching this demo there was a moment of fear, followed by the realisation: 'Oh, It's like the isometric exercise'. That exercise I did not find easy. It was one where I had to walk away and back again several times trying to understand how on earth seeing through cubes was meant to be easy! There just wasn't something clicking in my brain initially but I did suffer through and eventually, sort of, work it out. I didn't feel convinced I got it at the time. It felt like I had managed to fake it just enough to get to the next lesson. It was in this demo I realise I think I did get it. The fear washed away, and I felt excited at the notion of trying to draw a plane. If you had told me I'd be looking forward to drawing a plane at the beginning of this course I would have called you crazy! I have made all my friends look at it. My plane, that I drew. Wonky, sure. Basic- maybe. But it is a mechanical thingy and in different angles even. Wow. something I thought I would never begin to know how to draw. I know my line accuracy needs work but just the fact I didn't feel completely petrified approaching this exercise is a win in my books. Thank you Marshal. I am excited to keep learning. I think I just sharpened my stick into a spear.

First attempts. Theses are pretty fun, learned a lot from watching the demos, and I’ll definitely be doing more of these, because planes!

Especially loved your inside on sped-up drawings. Indeed that’s a dangerous mind-twist that can demotivate

The blob really helped visualize the angles more easily but I had some trouble keeping the convergence consistent. Is there a way to make sure that some angles don’t converge faster than other angles that are in the same axis?

This homework was harder than I thought it would be. I thought it would be interesting to use the images from the first assignment even though I could have grabbed any from my hoard of artist inspiration and long-distance-unknowing-mentors. To try and figure out what about them made them seem like 'good perspective' to me at the beginning of this course. I was very surprised that only some utilized all techniques. I thought for sure they'd have full stars in all categories, none the less I found the results fascinating. For the Optional part: I don't know if it counts as an old comic, but its one I read a lot growing up in the back of newspapers. I didn't really read any other comics. I thought to myself that I wouldn't really find any perspective tricks in it as it's pretty 'flat'... But actually they use a few techniques REALLY strongly. Not sure if the lines getting thinner the further away they are counts as atmospheric but I am pretending it does for this exercise.

I clearly have a long ways to go, but I've been practicing here, there, whenever I can find time to kind of program my brain to do this thing. Here's my favorite little bit that I've done, and the only one I have that's really worth seeing!

Love how this course is touching on HOW and WHEN perspective is used to tackle creative challenges by professionals. I've always seen perspective as this unfathomable and secretive thing, but here it is slowly being revealed. Love love loved the insight into industry practice and pipeline.

His whole vibe through his pieces, even the ones with heavy dropping lines, seems like it always carries a fun/lighthearted emotion. Really enjoyed his process even if I will never fully understand Maya and other 3d modelers.

how you stacked the two triangles in the isometric video explained! Woohoo! All becomes clear in time.

I'm very comforted by the comments below expressing having some challenges with this. So, as much as it's a little embarrassing I feel it's important to share for others as well that it took me 37 minutes and a headache to figure out how to use the triangles to create the generic isometric cube. Yeah... 37 minutes of trying to draw the default cube. It did eventually click, and after a break I returned and tried to draw some objects as optical illusions felt a little heavy in that moment. Flipping the perspective of the chair was quite difficult, and I did resort a bit to free handing some lines so it's pretty messy.
