Course work: A second attempt at Perspective Project One, Stage Two. Today I did the initial drawing working from an easel, which simplified things somewhat. My vanishing points were a little closer to my assumed horizon line, although I still had one divergent line pair. My final drawing, again with projections in red and corrections in blue, is ~22x106cm. I found it interesting that my error in judging the correct position of the vanishing point tends to increase as the vanishing point shifts away from the midline. If the object of this exercise is to teach humility, it has succeeded.
