added comment inSolving Perspective Problems with the Picture Plane
I exclaimed "Oh so that's why" multiple times throughout the video. The drawing looks a bit off though and I'm unsure if it's just because of the lack of a 3rd vanishing point or I wasn't precise enough or both. It was very interesting either way

Your perspectives appear distorted because they lie outside of the 60-degree cone of least distortion. This limit will appear as a circle on the picture plane, centered on your eye level. To find it in your plan, draw a 60-degree cone with its apex at your station point and note its intersection with the picture plane's edge view. Measure the diameter of the cone at its intersection with the picture plane. To establish that intersection In your perspective, draw a circle, centered on your eye level at your center of vision, with a radius equal to half the diameter you just measured. To appear undistorted, your perspectives of the block need to be contained within that circle.

Unfortunately I'm getting started on these a bit late but the best time is always now
Hey Marshall,
I think I took your sentence, "30 times and you'll get it, 50 times and you'll never forget," a little too seriously... 😂
After 7 hours and 30 minutes of intensive practice spread over a bit more than two weeks, I've created these 150 little scenes, exploring various angles and points of view.
Now, I feel like I can instinctively locate the horizon line and angles without even thinking—it’s become second nature! 😅
The first 50 were 5-minute studies, the next 50 took 3 minutes each, and the last 50 just 1 minute each.
Next up, I'll try drawing the same scene from different points of view. 👍🏻
It was a challenging yet incredibly rewarding experience. I truly feel the benefits of the effort deep down. Thanks a lot, Marshall!

Sometimes you are in the middle of something and you realize that it is going to be very bad. And you see all the flaws and mistakes possible in it. And maybe you start having second thoughts about showing the thing because it really makes all your weaknesses shine through. And did you even learn anything from doing that? You don't know. But you tried and that's gotta count for something.
Message brough to you by: "How hard can it be" behavior.
hm I don't know what to say. I stuck with what I started originally but I think I would make very different decisions next time.

The struggle bus continues. If I follow the grids they force proportions that I don't want, when I tell the the grid lines to leave me alone the line directions don't work. Even if the odd chance of a happy accident happens and the base form looks okay-ish I get completely loss when I need to extrude a form from it.
I tried making the grid lines that go back a bit more obvious with blue. Rather than grids forcing you, I am noticing that there are part of the grid that you aren't following very closely. Maybe rather than leaving the grid lines alone, you could try following them until the end to see why they give you a different result than what you would expect.

I feel like there are multiple problems with each and every one of them but it is what it is
Thank you for your time and also thanks to Lin, Ishaan, and Roderick for their responses. Doing my best not to get too discouraged. Just need to remind myself that we all learn at our own pace and there is a whole lot of class left... I just like smashing the panic button, it's my default state in this life.
I think one of the things we have to accept is that we are all very much not equal, in the most positive way. We might be on similar journeys but we didn't start this course at the same point in the journey and, as it is an online course, we all have different amounts of free time and energy. There are many ways to look at things, one would be that there is joy in the act of learning itself so we can take a deep breath and just simply enjoy the privilege of being here. The other way to look at this is a more down to earth one, motivation is not how you get things done, habits are, I am a firm believer that nothing in this world can beat good habits and hard work. Discipline is not represented by the good days, it is represented by the bad days when you do feel discouraged but you choose to do it anyways.
Either way, I hope this reply was not too uncalled for, these are just some of the things I tell myself everyday too. I do wish you the best and think you are doing great by just pushing forward on your path

I am not quite satisfied with the results but considering all that was going on outside of this course, I tried my best and shall be happy with that at least

Due to the initial form being more cubic, it took me so long to figure out based on what the were the short and long side of it, decided. Figured out that it was the face pointing towards the central object
