added comment inAssignment - What is Zero Point Perspective?!
Asked for help
Here are both my pencil sharpeners back from the form study in otho form. I notice now after scanning I got confused at some point: when I was looking at the mechanical one. I could see the interior sides of the top handles and I used a bit of one point perspective for these but now I understand I should have just drawn them as "flat" squares instead. I'm planning to do a second sheet with the other items I did in the form study so I may correct it at the same time.

My zero point perspective project! A mini Galaga cabinet.

The thorough analysis of the images I selected previously made me realise which style of image I like and also gave me a new way to analyse and better understand a composition and how each artist uses depth techniques for unique renditions.
Diminution, Convergence and Overlap have my (huge) preference. Funnily enough, I realised after the course that Atmosphere is also one of them by looking at some other books I have at home but apparently I didn't select any significant work within it. Well anyway it was very instructive and now I look with fresh eyes on old favourite artworks and try to analyse them with these new comprehension of perspective in mind.
Ps: I am publishing most of my comments on this course as normal ones, not the "help needed" ones but I noticed the tag is added automatically after I publish them (and can't remove it afterwards). I also experience sometimes the comment box not appearing at all so apparently comment section is a bit buggy. If needed, I can help and provide informations in order to debug it. And if this one publishes again as "help needed", this wasn't my intention so please don't mind it :)

I was new to this and did these on a (mostly) daily basis since March 6. I really wanted to take the time to practice hand skills and study the 0 to 360 degrees correspondences and angles.
I feel the improvement is already visible in the last ones I did today so I'm happy I made this a daily training.
The templates where also a great help because I don't own a compass currently. Thank you Marshall for making those available to download and in general for this great exercises. Will definitely continue them for a while :)

Very interesting assignment where I learnt to slow down and be much more precise with my lines. I struggled at first to draw them with a ruler so after a half page, I drew the rest of them free hand and that helped me understood much better the process of how to draw optical illusion. I think I might make more later on to really get the hang of it!
Tried again with the tools, one figure a day. I think I'm slowly getting better and found it enjoyable the more I understood how they worked. The star shape illusion in particular was indeed a lovely brain teaser!

This is what I have done so far but I want to spend more time on these in the future. Thank you Phil for this great exercise!

This was a great exercise, surprisingly hard but very interesting to repeat over and over in order to delve deeper into perspective understanding. Loved it! :)
Had some hard time with the volumes when letters where too thin (bottom left) or when I chose to put the point far to the left (bottom right). Did I get it wrong somehow or is it because I reached the limits of one point perspective perhaps?

You did a great job with the skinny letters. The only thing I would really change is to add a line on the inside of the P to show the corner.
With the Let's Draw, I like your idea to change the depth and height of the L. The rest of the letters should end on the same line. You will run into a lot of distortion the further away from the VP you get when it's that close and it may become unreadable if it's not kept incredibly clean.

Hey,
I really love these!! They are actually a staple warm-up I have been practising quite a bit. For my part, I learnt them from a manga artist book and I can definitely say they improved my line assurance, confidence and made me more aware of my physical position when drawing.
One tip I learnt over time and can recommend is to draw the lines in rhythm with one's breath (like inspire while focusing, then expire and draw the line). Very relaxing and helps a lot to remove the "fear" of drawing a straight line.
