I didn't expect to spend so much time on this assignment, but honestly I was just relieved after using the ruler. I hope this class will be enough to never visit perspective again (or at least stave off a few years or decades). Glad to be taking this class with others! The attached photos are steps up to the final image. I originally wasn't going to shade this thing, but I saw more of a flat image than an illusion with just the lines. I hope it works! I don't even know what I'm looking at anymore, time to sleep.

My head was twisting by my illusion! The hardest bit of this practice was the reversing of the perspective. I need used tools for drawing, as Stanley Prokopenko taught me, use the tool that’s already use in your hand. I enjoyed this exercise because it helped me get introduced into the perspective course and to my tools. This optical illusion is one I created, it may look like other optical illusions on online. I wanted to see what I could do with my creativity.

One more for the road! This is my ghost city. To make up for my last drawing, I tried packing this one full of as many illusions as I could. I think I learned an important lesson about quality over quantity, but I still like this one. It was fun to draw all the little ghosts drifting around their environment.

I made this pretzel lookin’ thing. Sketched out the idea, drew it and then traced two versions with different overlap.

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 assignment really broke my brain, especially that rectangular illusion. I'm not sure that I actually inverted it so much as just rotated it. Overall though, it was a fun assignment. Getting those clean straight lines were so satisfying and the tools were fun to use.

This assignment was actually harder than I expected. I wanted to create my own illusion, so it really took me a lot of time to come up with an idea and understand how to execute it. My perspective is not perfect, but I wish I understood the task correctly :) I drew the simplest jewellery chest, one time emphasizing it from above and one time from below. Then I tried to think how I can make an illusion out of it, so I wrote "HELLO" in mirror writing to show it from below, but emphasizing the chest as if we are looking at it from above. I really hope it is clear enough, I would love to get some feedback from anyone really, it would be greatly appreciated! :3

This was harder than I thought! I started with a simple illusion that I found with the cubes. Then I created my own illusion. I was inspired by the Sandro Del Prete arches but as I went on I got more ambitious! It took some brain work but each corner of my arches is perspectively impossible with the others! Thanks for the assignment!

Wow! What a doozy! I kept trying to inject the little perspective I know instead of using the types I was supposed to. It really helps to start with the outline, then add inside shapes, then negotiate-negotiate-negotiate. I never knew how important overlapping lines are! This answers questions as to why a lot of my drawings look like composite poses. I’m probably overlapping the “wrong” lines.

What should I buy for this perspective course?
