added comment inProject - How to Draw Above and Below Eye Level
Hey again!
As I mentioned in my previous message, I just finished drawing these two scenes. For each one, I started with a reference photo, reconstructed it in perspective, and then I redrew the same scene from a different point of view 😁
The first one took me way longer than the second, as you can imagine… 😅
But I really loved this exercise, and I’ll definitely do it several more times!

I’m in awe. 🤩
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!

Marshall,
It was a complete surprise to discover my arrow used as an illustration in this lesson, and I have to admit I’m a bit flattered—haha! I didn’t give it much thought when I drew that arrow, and now that I’ve seen and tried to follow your lesson, I couldn’t resist taking on the challenge myself—this time more thoughtfully.
I hope I passed; it’s a very difficult task but so rewarding to develop this technique "scientifically" and explore this "P.O.V."
Hey Marshall!
I’ve been completely absorbed by this assignment over the past two weeks. I loved it so much that I kept doing —and redoing— my orthos into full-fledged perspective drawings 😂
When I selected the objects for my orthographic views, I had no clue they’d end up forming this assignment—so naturally I chose some real head‑scratchers, haha. I made all the drawings completly freehand
But honestly, the challenge made it way more interesting—so many ellipses that I’m pretty sure they’ll haunt my dreams!
Thank you so much for the fantastic content of this course :)

Hello Marshall,
Here are the completed exercises. I spent a few hours on them, haha, but it was fun 😃
I did the first three using the templates you provided, then I created two more.
I tried to make the first one without putting vanishing points on the horizon line,
but I'm not sure if I managed to stay consistent.

Hey Marshall,
I’ve been on an arrow‑drawing binge these past few days 😂.
I really appreciated playing around with all kinds of variations, for example:
- tweaking the arrow shapes,
- experimenting with increasingly dynamic angles,
plus a bunch of other sketches I haven’t shared here because they didn’t quite work out (including some shadow studies, etc.).
I had an absolute blast with this exercise—it felt like the perfect excuse to try out a ton of stuff 👀🤭.
Thanks so much!
Hey Marshall,
This assignment was so much fun that I ended up creating each visual twice,
experimenting with different viewing angles each time!
I’ve spent a few hours on them over the past days :)
I hope the annotations are clear enough.
Thanks for these awesome projects!
👋🏻✨🥳

Hello Marshall,
Thank you so much for your feedback on my work 🥰
I tried to correct my assignment following your razor-sharp advice.
I hope this time I get it... I don’t know why I wanted to make it with only 2 vanishing points, but I must be tired because I was visibly unable to keep it vertically straight. It is so much better with 3 clear vanishing points!
Thank you again 👍🏻🤭
And a last study 🤗
It is an old piggy bank that my mother have absolutely love it since I am a child
👋🏻
Such a cute piggy, these are great drawings. I think in the side view you wouldn't be able to see the back legs as they are lined up with the front (side) ones.
Submitting my second orthos study of a vintage dual-blade French herb chopper.
This one tested my ability to balance symmetry (those mirrored blades!) and organic curves (the swooping arch between handles).
Will certainly do more because I love the process of making these studies 👍🏻
