Hello, I found some images online, I printed them out and had to trace the outline of first one (the arrows) to get my head around the angles. Then I tried it again and played with it until it began to work out and make sense to me. I could have done another final version to clean it all up. The hexagon, again I printed out and used as a visual reference. I went through a couple of false starts trying to figure out how to make it all work with the segments. I finally realized that if I just understood the length of the distance from corner to corner, I could create three lines, one central line and two bisecting lines at the correct angles off the central axis, and it worked. From there I could use the angles to work off of and just kept referring to the reference to make sure it looked right. This took me a long time though, my brain doesn't always see what's in front of me right away, it requires patience, but the end result was pleasing to me. I enjoyed this exercise.

Hello, I'm late to join, but pleased to be here. I'm here to learn only for my own enjoyment. I've submitted some images created by artists that I would like to learn perspective from. James Gurney, I have put a study of one of his Dinotopia paintings here. I liked because it showed the planning stages of the finished painting and show how he is solving the perspective problems that lead to such a believable finished work. I don't have any images of any of his plein air studies but I really admire the skills that allow him to document the everyday world as he perceives it in such a direct way. I would like to understand how to simplify and problem solve to the same end. NC Wyeth, his illustrations always contain so much energy and power. I think as I look back at many of my favorites from Treasure Island, it's his use of different angles and views of the subject, he places us in the scene not just looking on. Dean Cornwell, I really enjoyed this preliminary sketch, "The courtroom" uploaded here. It shows all the planning, and work. If I stop and try to understand all the vanishing points that are in play on each figure, piece of furniture, the room itself, my head begins to hurt. It would be amazing to have that kind of grasp of form in space and have the ability to communicate it. Thomas Schaller, I love watercolor and I have always loved architectural rendering. The contrast of the strong framework and transparent and glowing quality of the watercolor together is very evocative. I want to know how to use perspective to create believable built environments as he does. Hiroshi Yoshida, I have always loved the images created by him but until I joined this class I did not know his name. So thank you to everyone who picked him as an art parent. His work is both powerful and lovely at the same time.
