I watched the class late night, and next day I was so impressed and inspired that I looked for cars’ pictures to practice what I learned in this class. It was much simpler. Perspective is less fearful now, thank you Robert for this class!

Perspective Exercises - image 2 - student project This Cadillac was very tricky to draw and I wasn’t figuring out how to do this perspective, it was all vanishing points problems I "cheated" with the help of procreate, just traced few lines following che car bottom and the roof angle, the cross between the two was the left vanishing point, for finding the eye level I traced a horizontal line from the vanishing point. the right one was a bit tricky too because it was veeeery far so I had to do few screenshots for having enough space on the canvas. I Think this is someway accurate, and finally I menaged to draw the Cadillac right. Believe me perspective was a nightmare for me, but now is getting clearer! And it’s starting to be fun too!

Perspective Exercises - image 3 - student project progress so far, the Cadillac. The above examples are terrible let’s see in the future updates how figuring out vanishing point will make my objects look like.

Perspective Exercises - image 4 - student project following along the video I did few more exercises. My brain is actually starting to think in terms of perspective, and it’s becoming more natural to capture faster the simpler perspective.
Then I moved on to the loose painting videos.
One of the car was really hard to capture, the perspective was trickier for me, That’s why I invoked the help of procreate again! Perspective Exercises - image 5 - student project

It’s messy, the ‘right’ vanishing point lines should be the pink ones. My error was that I was painting the back of the car with lines parallel to the ground, but I then realized that it was slightly tilted downwards. Perspective Exercises - image 7 - student project

The other examples were simpler, I had so much fun, these exercises are new to me and I learned a lot.
