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.

Hello there everyone, it’s been a while. I hope you all are healthy and on the move. while I was waiting for next task, I decided to pick one of the references of last assignments, make some changes in it, and release it as my first step in road to mythic. for this assignment, I used “Krita” and my tool was a “triangle” which I made it out of a square by dividing it into two halves and lowering the angle of left and right lines to middle of square. nevertheless, I made my first block using the triangle method. Then it was time to make some lines vanish and make some of them more visible. This progress helped me see another way of making blocks out of a hexagon, with only one line in the middle. Then I was ready to let the magic in to these blocks and make optical illusions.

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' 😉

Decided to try out another idea!

The airplane pilots als do the perspective course, looking at the sky. Making 2P-grids

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

Played around with bringing shapes forwards and pushing them back and then added some water for the final one...

Worked on this on and off for 3 days & tried a few different designs before realizing my first batch were wrong because I instinctively converged my lines. I'm so used to converging. Finally came up with this one and like how it turned out. I also didn't have a t-square which would've made it easier, but I ordered one. I only used a ruler and triangle. Overall, I think I understand the concept of isometric now, & I'm also dyslexic which made it harder. My brain really hurts haha, but I had fun with the assignment

This assignment was intimidating but very satisfying when you see the optical illusions come to life :)

This was challenging but fun! I started by trying to copy some other isometric illusions and then I tried to draw my own.

Played with a few of the illusions already shared by other students. Appreciate all the material people are finding and posting. Playing with isometric perspective was new for me. It's pretty fun. Nice to be gaining tools to understand illusions.

I did a simplified study of MC Escher’s Waterfall. I had a lot of trouble lining up the zigzagging pathways, but was happy with how it came out. I included a prior draft where I was still working out some problems. Lots of things to learn from on this one. One thing that I might try later is to incorporate the way Escher used the brickwork to lower the tops of each corner to make it seem more like the water could flow up. Great assignment, I really enjoyed studying this.

After watching the video took me a bit to get my head around Isometric perspective. Pulled and image from the net. thought it was going to be fairly easy to copy. As I found out on my first 2 images. I screwed it up badly. I tried to measure the points as if it was regular perspective and none of the points matched up. Had to do a little research to get my measuring points corrected. figured the dimensions of the drawing. then came up with a version of the pic I found on line. was trying to make it look like bricks so inked it freehand. For the next one I will try a smooth ruler finish

I love isometric perspective. Probably because of all those video games that I played back in the day that used isometric graphics. I also love marble runs, so I constructed one. If the WEBP format works it should play as an animation.

Ok been a while since I did any drafted so I thought I’d start out simple. First image is the template I made on bind paper. Next vellum trace over using line weights only and finally adding some tone. The idea was that the right image is “inverted” from the on the left. Also included one of the pages of ideation i did.

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’m going to keep working on this but I figured I would upload before the assignment was due. Marshall wasn’t kidding about the need to remove distractions and push through frustration. Overall, I found it quite challenging but fun. I also learned that it is hard to eyeball measurements and it is less frustrating to take the time to properly measure. I love how changing line weight or erasing/adding a line completely changes the illusion. Looking forward to exploring more.

Hey. Some rough scetches and then I used the the triangle ruler. Im I right to think that for isometric perspective you mainly use 60° angle?

Here is my attempt at Isometric illusions. I am not sure if I completely understand how to use the tools to get the angles correct. I really fumbled around with the T square and the triangles. let me know what you think! Thanks again, I really hope to learn a lot from this course.

Hello all! I tried to do the optical illusion I attached but at some point something went wrong with the size of the cube and the overlap was too much to work with, but I completed the image nonetheless, although something still looks off and I can't quite put my finger on it. Still, had a lot of fun with it and I'm happy to start getting my feet wet with perspective, will try again with different illusions I've seen online and keep practicing I also did the basic isometric cubes and those were quite fun as well
