Re: Basic 101: Class 3 - Drawing Cubic Objects

Catherine - You're off to a good start .
Remember to check all parallel lines for errors of perspective, until you get the necessary "gut feeling".
Just one example:

BTW, all lines of a set of parallel lines share a VP. Mind that they can be from different objects. Perspective is not a property of objects, it is caused by an optical phenomenon, and the rays of light don't remember where they come from .

I also don't want to make a lot of mistakes because the marks are always there .
And I tried my best not to make one of the die taller than the other but it still looks like that .
Keep correcting the errors that you see, that is the best way to "learn to see". And when you think you saw everything, lay it aside for some hours, and compare again, you'll find more errors . On the problem of faulty lines staying visible, you could have read in the first post of this class how to proceed (the procedure numbered 1 to 8). And if your sketch becomes too confusing, you can always take an intermediate copy of what is correct ("step 6") and continue from there . BTW, you don't need tracing paper if you use a lightbox.
Keep up the good work .

Re: Basic 101: Class 3 - Drawing Cubic Objects

Okay! I tend to get a light box! Well I had some tracing paper lying around but I couldn't really transfer it well on the printer paper so it's still sketchy.

Hopefully it looks better.

Now a day later, do you see? The left dice still looks higher than wide. And I gave only one example of a perspective error, there are more...

Sometimes it is easier, faster, more productive, to restart from scratch. The problem with the left dice is such a case, because all edges must be changed.

You can improvise one



or even use the window in bright daylight, but better not with the sun in your eyes .
