I launched a new FREE app with the help of the team behind the Skelly app! The app is called ZOLLY and is designed to help you practice perspective.

Thanks again for access to this brilliant perspective course.
There are so many creative folk on this course.
I've been practicing to draw Freehand, some simple items as instructed
in an earlier topic.
First in 45 degree view and then repositioned (imagined), as you explained.
I'd like to better understand how to think this imagined view through manually first.
Are there more lessons coming with this thought in mind before using such a tool?
The Zolly app looks amazing Marshall.
Are you saying Zolly's an essential tool to continuing in your course moving forward?

An essential tool? Not at all! Artists have been mastering perspective long before the Zolly App!
But for the past six months, we have worked to create an app we wished for. If it seems to you like it will help, it probably will. We put a lot into making it easy to use.
Regarding your question about "how to think this imagined view through manually first", it may help to review the reminders:
One is that if you are having trouble, begin simply with blobs.
Another is that precise positioning will be found in the three axes of a block. Soon.
Another is that for most students, it requires work to conjure a new position. Take time to envision. Understanding is important, but so is the ability to "see" what isn't there — a skill worth practicing.
Perhaps the most important reminder is the answer to your final question: not only are there more lessons to come about this, the whole course is about this! Drawing what you imagine...
I hope this helps, Dermot; Zolly App or No Zolly App.
