I'm fighting the urge not to confuse myself by looking into orthos early, I've never heard of it before!

Wow, these drawings are terrific inspirations! Completely blown away!

The collection of images brought together by the community is amazing and also overwhelming. I agree with Marshall when he suggests that we sort our idols into sub folders for different stages of our learning. I have been working on a set of categories to sort my "art heroes" for a while now, because there are so many. I try to analyse what exactly I admire about their work and what I want to learn from them. I made a little chart of the system that I curently use - if you have ideas and suggestions I am looking forward to them. Happy sorting!

I am so friggin psyched for this class.

Here are my notes so far. There are some neat tricks and tips in the review—thanks, Marshall! When studying perspective in a masterpiece, thinking about a slider with two extremes helps to better understand the bigger picture: - instructional (how-to) vs. showcasing for maximum impact - simplified vs. detailed - close vs. far away - huge vs. tiny - inside vs. outside - looking down vs. looking up (into the scene) - organic vs. rigid/mechanical - wide-angle vs. compressed 2D shapes layered on top of each other - strict mathematical rules vs. purposely bending principles for storytelling

Master the basics. Got it!

hi, is there any way to see the pictures like marshalls see its in the critique? like a gallery in scroll down?

Marshall, thanks for sharing everyones critiques. I found it very difficult choosing a selection of pictures for the first assignment as I'm so near the vanishing point amoung the amazing artists that posted their interesting choices of artwork. It's all an education to me. Thanks Again.

I was drawing along while watching the critique video. Sometimes studying feels like eating disliked vegetables or taking medicine—it’s good for you but uncomfortable. But in this perspective course, I feel like I want more, and Marshall keeps us on the edge of our seats, waiting for the next lesson to digest. I’m excited for the next videos. Let’s start creating and learning!

I’m confused as to how to or where to post “assignments” — where did people place these images used for the latest critique in the perspective course.

Every video so far I walk away feeling like I've learned something, and it perplexes me because I am not always aware that the learning is happening until after the video ends. Marshall, your method of teaching delights the mind, and instead of feeling crushed and exhausted as I often am by what I can only describe as traditional teaching methods- I am always left full of more questions, curiosity, and intrigue. I haven't felt this way about learning in a long time. Loved this video! It's really left me thinking and pondering about my initial selection of art treasures, and prompting me to look at art with a new mindset of not just trying to identify any perspective but perspective that is useful to learn from. Upon reflection, I think my fear of backgrounds did lead me to initially pick examples of perspective applied to characters mostly, but I am feeling less daunted already and loving looking at the examples other have chosen. I was most fascinated this lesson by the notion of things 'flattening' as they get further away. I would have assumed they would become more warped, not less. But I can't not see it now.

I love the idea of splitting the works into sub-categories to study specific things from; I feel like this could be useful for any project!

Hypes! @Marshall I don’t know who the people are that criticize you, but don’t be afraid! Read the comments and see all the ❤️🙏! it’s also so much fun to get a small history chunk from your own life like knowing you could draw dr. Octopus xd. Keep up the great videos

I just finished watching this and I’m blown away at how rich perspective is as a concept - and Marshall’s deep understanding of it. I signed up for this course aware of only 1 point, 2 point, 3 point, 4 point, and curvilinear perspective but now it feels like I’ve only scratched the surface. I’m glad we’re in good hands here with Marshall and the Proko team.

What a great collection everyone pooled together. Lots of names I knew, lots of names and pieces I've never seen and was stunned by! Great treasure, everyone! I love seeing what pieces have everyone raring to go! To Marshall - I appreciate that none of these were considered "Bad" treasure, but that you were able to categorize them as things that would be difficult to learn perspective from, simple to learn perspective from, great to study for composition, for lenses, for distance, for playing with perspective, for overlap! I'm adjusting how I'm regarding my collected images, because there were a few that I had collected that, when studying, I disregarded and thought "why did I grab that? This is bad for Perspective." - Perhaps I just need to take a different angle with them. Also, I am ever impressed by how you re-incorporate student names and goals as you teach. Looking forward to seeing how everyone comes closer to those goals over the next year! Pardon my gushing. I'm finishing up a project that has a deadline closing in, so I'm a little extra caffeinated...

Didn't know this was an assignment, ok then.

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!

I don't know how to find these images on the website. How do you find them in the Community section?
