added comment inStraight Line Discipline with Peter Han
I've seen this being implemented in draw-box,dynamic sketching,industrial drawings and some other courses out there and have to say my line quality,pen and arm control has improved tremendously after doing this for a year or so and doing these simple warm-ups for like 10min a day like Peter mentioned really does help!.Even using a fineliner instead of pencil from time to time really promotes the mindset of "think before you make a mark" and getting over the fear of doing bad drawings! So I would definitely recommend this to everyone!

Good comment. And I love that he gives permission to do a little a day: less of a burden, but still in motion.

Asked for help
I did my level best and tried to keep them simple with straight lines and not over complicating for now!(I haven't drawn straight lines in a while so they're a bit jancky here and there😅)

Amazing commitment. If you're not hurting yourself with overwork, you are headed toward great pencil-strength.

I always love Marshall's pen&ink horse drawings!!!,even his simple sketches in his sketch book look like fully rendered pieces.

I have a question about this piece. In the video Marshall points out a vanishing point as the boxes forming the lozenge shape move away from us. I understood from this that our eyeline runs horizontally through that point. Why is it that the top plane of the chimney isn’t visible when it’s below the eyeline? I think I’m not understanding something
Thanks!
Maybe that chimney has a different elivation and doesn't follow the same vanishing point of the entire scene!

What should I buy for this perspective course?
There's going to be a lesson early in the course that goes over that in detail, but if you're looking to purchase some stuff now, Marshall recommends mechanical pencils (0.7 lead if you press hard), paper (bond and tracing paper), kneaded eraser. He'll go over specific rulers so you may want to buy rulers but you won't need those right away!

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.

Marshall, thanks for the short analysis on Hiroshi Yoshida’s Rapids .
00:45 seconds in you mention "Rhythms of dark and light areas" and explain "That's composition and not perspective".
How do you define the difference between Compostion and Perspective?
Here marshall is talking about how hiroshi was able to keep the good/interesting composition intact without losing the form/perspective of water and the rock.
we can quite quickly get lost with rules of perspective/getting things right and this leads to boring art pieces(still correct perspective wise)but overall not that appealing to look at and if we get too lost in composition(light and shadow,focus points,characters placement etc...) we do get interesting pieces at first but forms,perspective and many things will be lost in the process so we will again get a boring piece so it's important to keep these both balanced and that's exactly what hiroshi achieved here.
So training ourselves from this early on to learn perspective correctly in such way that it won't destroy our composition/idea of the picture and vice-versa without intent is very important.

Let's go,after watching his 1994 course i'm really excited to learn perspective from marshall,good luck to all the fellow students in this course as well👍

so I'll also learn forms? :0
This curriculum is posted by one of the mods,and from what i can tell forms will be discussed in this course and they will go more into detail about froms in part-2 portion of the course.
