added comment inAssignment - Perspective for Drawing Anything
Asked for help
Not in order. but the artist featured are Moebius, art of Akira manga and anime (multiple artists, but I'm very impressed by the environmental designs), Junji Ito, Johannes Vermeer, Rembrand, Leonardo Danvinci and Escher,
I can do basic one point, two point and three point perspective, but I mostly run into issues when have to rotate objects, when O need to place subjects in an environment proportional to their size and I also still struggle with cilindrical objects (although I've watched a lot of tutorials and I theoratically know how it works).
It would also be cool to be able to draw more advanced and distorted perspectives eventually.
Hi everyone, I did the Exaggeration exercise from the figure drawing course. and I could use some feedback.
I notice I struggle moving a shape in 3D space. I don't have issues drawing a box in 3D in general, but when I have to take one of them and then "turn" them like in this exercise it becomes difficult. SO if anyone has some practice tips as well, gladly!

I feel like I still struggle too much with the shapes and repositioning them in perspective. I really feel this exersise revealed some lack of skill in the basics. Anyway feedback and tips are appreciated!

Hello everyone! It's been about a year since I worked on this class, but I'm picking it up again. I wanted to ask you all if the invented poses look real and "action-y" enough...or perhaps they look stiff or fake?
Much appreciation for you all!
Sincerely,
Grace :)
I don't think they look stiff or fake at all! Very dynamic. Love the addition of the bananapeel. its hard to give feedback because its pretty good... Maybe with the very first one, she should lean slightly more forward for better balance. Also her hip should be more turned the other way and a bit forward, this way her right (our left) leg automatically is more in place (it looks a bit detached from the hip and to far from the side). Other than that very nice!

Blance+mannequization. My proportions aren't always right I notice when putting side to side haha.
Hi @lwel, very nicely done! I'm no expert, but it looks to me like you've got a handle on mannequinization. I also like that you're dropping the line down from the torso to check for balance--great idea! May I suggest for the lower section of the arm (is that called the forearm? I should know this but I'm not sure...), you could break it up into a cylinder for the part closer to the elbow and a box wedged into it for the wrist portion. That's just one idea, because I remember Marshall Vandruff suggesting in the critique video for the mannequinization lesson that it might be good to think of all the forms as boxes, like you've drawn in a lot of the forearms. One last thing: the hands in these look so good!!

Hey lwel,
Let me start by saying you did a nice job maintaining a good gesture in these.
What I'm seeing is that you are trying to use anatomy in building your mannequin. This makes things much harder, and doesn't help you see the 3 dimensional and perspective quality of the figure. Try using simple shapes to describe the body and limbs. I did a quick example for you that I hope you find helpful :)
I wasn't sure exactly how much anatomy was expected because sometimes the examples defined muscles and sometimes they didn't. But Thank you very much for your feedback!
My latest attempts to mannequinization. I tried getting feedback in the course before but I think I have more luck of people seeing and responding here.
I find this part of the course quite challenging.

I think you should be more aware of perspective. The lines of one side of a box should converge at some point if you were to extend them
hey thanks, honestly understanding perspective is my goal so could u show me an example on how to make them converge, if I’m able to see it I can be more mindful in future drawings

I first drew along with the examples. Then tried to apply it to new poses. But I kind of feel I should be simplifying more than the examples until that goes well and then do more with muscles. I cought myself getting more occupied figuring out details as opposed of looking at the full figure in space.
Feedback is appreciated!
I know it has been 29 days. But your pictures aren't very clear. Maybe you could try darken the lines with a softer pencil or pen, and then photograph outside with sunlight. Also put the camera straight in front and not an angle.
