added comment inAssignment - How to Draw in One-Point Perspective
Asked for help
It was incredibly difficult to draw the letters but I had a fun time conceptualizing the words. I'm not sure if the subway idea comes thru. I didn't want to add too much detail to the typeface. I tried to add extra windows and a door but it looked too busy.

Beautiful work. I just thought I'd point out that the "SUBWAY" depth lines don't seem to converge to a point, making it technically Orthographic (All the depth lines don't converge, they stay parallel).
I think this is also the case with the "CAKE" depth lines.
Having said that,, it looks great! Very precise work, that's awesome!

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!
There are a few options for this to happen, I want to suggest two, although the more likely choice in this case in my opinion is the first one:
1. A design choice - Ignoring true perspective to satisfy design (as Marshall also pointed out about the big arc in this drawing).
2. the chimney's top is a declined plane, making the close edge (closer to the camera/viewer) higher and the further edge lower. that would mean you wouldn't be able to see the top even though your eye level is above the chimney.
Mind you, there are a few other "mistakes" in this image in regards to perspective.
I tend to believe they happen both due to design choices, and just not making a concious deliberate effort to solve all perspective problems in advanced.
As you study perspective, you will start to notice a lot of "mistakes" everywhere. some are intentional, some are not. As Marshall pointed out at around 00:16:00 - If it's deliberate - Great. If it's accidental and it works - Okay. If it's accidental and it doesn't work - That's when you take the time to solve these perspective problems.
Hope this helps!
