No clue what I'm doing hahaha. Here's my submissions. I started with some basic cubes. Then I tried a big box segmented into smaller ones. From that I cut out one of the top rows. Then I did a couple optical illusion thingies. And then I tried to draw a camera from memory just to try some ellipses and such. Forgive the poor photos I don't know the basics of to taking decent photos. Maybe Proko needs to put out a PSA for the newbies like me on how to take better pictures for posts? :) This was fun, Sensei Marshall!

Wow how the heck do you draw that staircase?! Where are the vanishing points? So many new things to learn. Thanks for this breakdown, Marshall!

This is super fun! Here's my first try at this exercise:

Waterfall rapids were among the last things I'd expected to see being studied here and my mind was blown! Now I can see so clearly perspective principles at play. So then I decided to look deeper and fell into a rabbit hole. Here's a few more things where perspective can be found :D 1. ☁ Clouds are forms and their under planes are receding. They get thinner and thinner as they approach the horizon. 2. 🍖 This meat is just a simple box! We can clearly see the different planes and how light interacts with them. 3. 🌻 A sunflower field where flowers are receding. 4. 🧼 Bubbles! Let us be reminded that everything in space has different sizes so how they look in perspective is completely individual, they simply exist in the same scene following the same rules. 5. 🐤 And bonus, a cute budgie birb. We can see its contour lines already there informing us of its rounded form! Basically, EVERYTHING and EVERYWHERE that exists has perspective.

Thanks this was helpful!

This is really cool and helpful to see this amazing art broken down into simple concepts. It really helps a beginner "see" the framework underneath. Thanks Marshall!

Need more practice on feet. But I'm showing up everyday!

Hi everyone. I'm actually still in the middle of the Drawing Basics course, and getting close to the perspective part. I didn't want to miss out on the critiques here, so I decided to start with this class a little early. To be honest, perspective is still very new to me. I can barely even draw. In terms of masters, I'm still new to this, so I don't even know that many works where perspective is the key point. I've only seen like two drawings by Kim Jung Gi. I love manga and anime, and know that perspective is essential for drawing; I tried to limit myself to just two mangaka, and ventured out from there. Masashi Kishimoto. NARUTO. I think many in recent years either don't know or have forgotten that Kishimoto can draw like this. NARUTO certainly has its flaws, but the quality of drawing is not one of them. Yukinobu Tatsu. Dandadan. He's just an exquisite artist. I think someone else uploaded this page too. Hiroshi Yoshida. Golden Temple in Amritsar. I was very happy to see his work included in the video, so I decided to put one of his works that I particularly like. Scott Robertson. Inktober motorcycle drawing. Robertson's book How to Draw gets recommended all the time! I haven't bought it yet, but his drawings are clearly that of a master of perspective. M. C. Escher. House of Stairs. I think many of us here have an M. C. Escher work in our posts. Big picture goal. It's hard for me to judge what's realistically attainable in the span of the next few months. Maybe those of you who have more experience with perspective can advise me on this. Perhaps a capstone project where I draw a simple car from an angle, in two point perspective?

Scott Robertson's book is fantastic but it's pretty advanced for newbies like you and me. I got lost pretty quickly. But it looks like Marshall covers some of the same techniques in this course so it will help us understand the book better for sure.

That was a great intro! Nice work, Marshall.

Hello Fellow Artists! I am Chekdot 😁. Besides being able to understand perspective, my immediate goal is to be able to draw vehicles in perspective. Additionally, I struggle a lot with making wheels in perspective. Examples below, some are from a movie, Redline (hope that's OK) which has extreme perspective and some from Evangelion artist Yoshiyuki Sadamoto.

Heyy another Madhouse fan! Redline is amazing.
