This assignment is so much fun! Also using translucent paper to try things out without redrawing the entire image from scratch is such an awesome idea. Curiously, it seems that in Australia the word 'vellum' is not in much use. The only 'vellum' I found in Sydney was an old pack of absolutely gorgeous Arches drawing paper. I wouldn't have noticed it if I wasn't looking for 'vellum' 😉

This was fun! :) I enjoyed both research and drawing part of it. I created a redrawing of Sandro Del Prete on first page, by analysing it first. On second page i copied some random illusions i've found. I did everything freehand, because it is part of the fun, when drawing traditionally imo. I know rendering is not the point here, but i could not resist the urge :) I think i started to understand these isometric optical illusions after this exercise. I had never given any thought about this subject before, tbh.

It kind of feels like this assignment came out too soon. You very briefly mentioned isometric perspective but I don't know the rules or angles to use. I know the triangles are used but I don't know how. I see you stack them sometimes but the example is cut up so much I can't see what you are doing. Not trying to be negative but this feels like I should go read about isometric perspective some where else before attempting this. A demo on basic isometric cubes showing how to use the tools would help me alot.

I spent some time getting familiar with the tools. It's been slow-going. Using them is harder than I thought - but I can see them being quite handy once I get the hang of it, including my attempts at boxes flipped inside out on both bond & tracing paper.

My attempts at this assignment. I like to keep things as simple as possible. I hope these can help some students out there.

I was drawing along while watching the critique video. Sometimes studying feels like eating disliked vegetables or taking medicine—it’s good for you but uncomfortable. But in this perspective course, I feel like I want more, and Marshall keeps us on the edge of our seats, waiting for the next lesson to digest. I’m excited for the next videos. Let’s start creating and learning!

Studies of Dave Malan. Fell like I had some trouble recreating his lines. Happy with the result though. Please critique.

This is the first level pre demo, I will be doing the level 2 as well, along with both of the post demo versions I will make. I am familiar with one point, two point and three point perspective, but the most I have done with these was drawing boxes. I did draw a street corner in two perspective once, but that was quite a while ago. Not sure if there is something strange going on with this one, so if there is or anything I can improve on let me know! The scene is supposed to potray a road going into a tunnel, with some bushes growing all around the scene, and I just added a whole in the wall cause I wanted to I guess.
