Slightly off topic but does anyone else have a pile of french curves that they never use? What are they? What do they want? I wanted to round off some edges on the isometric assignment I've been fumbling with but... kind of at a loss XD Is it really just having the patience of a saint and trying to work out what curve I need to use or can you organize them in some sort of fashion?

Yay, I am quickly catching up to the course again. This was a real great insight on what's to come Marshsall. I already have my pencils and erasers in hand. Plan on stacking up on more of my fave erasers though and will be adding the others on the list for the upcoming lessons this week.

how do you guys post pictures on the community? I know this is a dumb question but I haven't been able to figure it out.

Getting more excited with every video and thinking about what I want from this course. I do feel intuitive drawing and perspective has always been quite hard for me, but I have been scared to use tools as everyone says they will dull your skills and hurt you in the long run. I really want to master perspective I think knowing the math and science behind it will help my intuitive side. I would love to able freehand something then use these tools to give myself feedback. Maybe it sounds silly but. But I feel a little more confident in my artistic future thinking I can improve my skills with math.

I’m gradually expanding my summary notes on perspective, adding a bit at a time. I’ve come across the term plan projection here and there, and I’m eager to learn more about it. Getting my tools ready for a solid learning journey!

Awesome course so far, thanks Marshall!

Lucky my local art store had a coupon this week

The animations are great. 😁 I'm going to talk to my tools. I'll say things like......... "Draw perfect perspective guys"! Then I can say things like, "You Guys are letting me down" ! "Right" and "Simple" and "Freehand" ! Sound good, to me. I fear what's really ahead! 😁 😁 😁

So stoked 🤘

For those using DIGITAL during this course! I have a resource for you! Digital allows us to use hotkeys and line tools, but just like with the ruler in Marshall's example, the freehand is a LOT faster. I'm attaching a recreation of an exercise I picked up years back in school and still use. For practicing freehand lines in digital, you can rehearse the movement by connecting the dots in these columns. The left one is easier, with thick dots to connect, while the right column is a bit more precise. I know it's a simple and maybe goofy exercise, but it really helped me at throwing down straight lines with more ease. I'll have another of these later when we get into Ellipses....

I will get the tool this week :)

Yesss so excited to do this traditionally instead of digitally! GIMMIE THAT KNOWLEDGE

Got em and ready to go Marshall!!

I've always wondered what a T-square is used for! Very useful indeed :D

All set 👍🏼 Quick question, how often will a class be released? I would love to add it to my calendar so I can stay on track😃 I am geeking out on all that has been posted so far.

Nice! I already have the tools…got worried for a moment when Marshal was talking about the protractor…

Marshall really hates that pen :))

Is the Pentel Twist-Erase III Automatic Pencil good? I think it's what Marshal was using in the video but I'm not sure, also anyone got Mechanical Pencil Lead brand recommendations?

Now I have a reason 😁 to visit, my most fav place on earth.. 🫠 art store..

I will get the tools! Also, its cool to see someone else who appreciates the power of mechanical pencils.
