4 Weeks to Better Perspective Drawing - Challenge

Lesson by

Mark as Completed

Instructions

Since, we're focused on perspective in the Drawing Basics course, let's do a perspective challenge! Each week we'll post a list of objects for you to draw in perspective. That's a drawing a day for 4 weeks (28 drawings!) Make sure to show your construction...

Medium: Any 2D medium, traditional or digital is allowed.

Challenge is open to all participants 13 and older.

Check this page weekly to view new challenges and submit drawings

Deadline

All 28 drawings need to be submitted in the comments below by July 7th in order to be considered for the prize. We will post 7 items at a time each week, but feel free to do them on your own schedule. We know you might have to miss a few days. Just catch up when you can and post them as you finish them. As long as you post all of them by the deadline, you're eligible for the prizes!

Winners will be announced on July 10th during a livestream - Watch the Stream

Prizes

Each winner will gain access to an upcoming new Proko course taught by Marshall Vandruff, and a few surprise prizes.

The Proko Team will pick a few winners from everyone who finishes the challenge based on accuracy, presentation, and creativity. We'll also pick a few random winners! Winners will be contacted via the email on their Proko.com account.

Thank you so much for awarding me first place. It was fantastic to participate in the challenge. I really enjoyed seeing the diversity in the submissions. I would love to take the "Med's Map Course" by Ahmed Aldoori.

This was a great exercise and very challenging. Thanks for creating this challenge. I learned a lot, I don’t often work in digital media so that made for extra learning along with perspective which I also haven’t used a whole lot. I know it’s there but usually I don’t bother with gridding things out like this. Will definitely be working on this more often. Thanks again!

Here's everything in 4 slides. What did I learn this month? Through the constant practice, I gained certain insights about my relationship to perspective tools. 1. Unless it's spatially dominant (e.g., chessboard or throne room), it made more sense to first envision/sketch the object, and then figure out the vanishing points/grids that serve it. Often the vanishing points were way way way off the page too, so I would have to plot the grid, zoom in and and crop the relevant grid, and draw on that. 2. Since usually we are taught perspective with the horizon line and left and right vanishing points, I was surprised at how often from top down product shots the two point perspective would be the top and bottom VPs. (e.g., drums, video console). 3. I would like to do more reimagining of forms from a different perspective when I have more time. I tried this with the fire hydrant, the table and the spacesuit. It's something that takes a lot more brainpower but worth doing. The rest are mostly from photo reference and figuring out what perspective they are from, and reverse engineering from there. 4. The organic forms (the spacesuit, the skull) were hard for me. I wonder if it's also because I I have been studying the human figure/we are attuned to notice mistakes more as people. Maybe if I were a car engineer or architect I would feel the mistakes in cars/buildings more keenly! 5. I got a lot of practice with digital drawing this month, mainly because it was more convenient to show the construction neatly. Sometimes I would sketch and draft manually and then go over the lines again digitally. A huge thank you to Stan, Marshall and the Proko team for hosting this challenge. It was a bit of a part time job (3-5 hours a day), but I'm really glad I did it. There's still much much more for me to learn.

oh, one more: 6. I came to appreciate the design behind a lot of the objects. (e.g., completely blown away by the elegance in the Aura Battler action figure, the Evercade VS video console, the diving helmet, etc.) A lot of thought went into them to make the proportions _just so_.
