Try drawing your name or some other text you care about into deep space using one-point perspective. Start with a straight-on view of your name, then extend lines from the corners to a single vanishing point to create depth. This extrudes a flat front plane into a three-dimensional form.

Hi Ben,
The middle E needs a line to vanishing point and the two middle's of the B need lines to the vanishing point. your lucky you have only 3 letters in your name :)
This is probably the most methodical drawing I’ve done.
I finally used the tools that we are supposed to use for this course, and I was surprised by how easy it was to focus on accuracy when I had these tools in hand.
Also very fun though!
I think I finally get why people like Stan Prokopenko compare perspective to math, like as you can see in some of the sketches, it really felt like I was doing geometry.
But it’s only similar to geometry.
I still don’t buy the comparison to math as in general.
Perspective is just not nearly as complex as math. And you don’t have to be good at math to be good at perspective. Like Kim jung gi basically just Leared perspective by drawing a whole bunch. You can’t learn trigonometry by playing around with a calculator. Basically what I mean is that perspective is like other areas of art, like where it can technically be learned by trial and error, and perspective is realistically intuitive, but math is not intuitive at all and it is all about learning the rules.
Marshall I challenge you on this debate and that was my argument 👊
and in the end I had to try and make it look like those cool fonts from the 2010’s. Those fonts were awesome, and cool.
I went for a more ambitious font which created some interesting challenges when extruding the curves. It's not always obvious when a line is necessary to sell the illusion.
This was a bit tricky. I’m not so sure about that “X”, but it is a start. I thought about putting some shading to it, but I decided to leave it be. I might work with it in Procreate or Affinity.
This looks so clean. I like the side by side with the construction lines. This is a great way to learn 1 point perspective.
M is a tricky letter. If it’s symmetrical on the font and back planes, I think that corner on the back would come down a touch further.
The V shape on the front and back planes should run parallel next to each other.
Anyways, you nailed it. And so quickly. A+ 👍
