Course work: Made another arrangement of books of varying sizes, drew the outlines as best I could, loaded it into the computer, added work space, and drew in my perspective and eye level lines. Because of the confusing number of lines, I placed a dot at the place where each line pair crossed. For some reason, the perspective lines projecting to the right are more nearly accurate than those projecting to the left, with some of my leftward lines being parallel or nearly so. The eye level line as drawn corresponds closely to the observed eye level line. Overall, this is my best effort to date. However, it is clear that a good bit more effort will be needed to become adequate and consistent with my perspective efforts.
Started work on the simplified copy version of the Sir Muirhead Bone drawing on p 14 of the text. After an unsatisfactory start, with some careful observation, I discovered that there are at least three vanishing points, as the structure(s) depicted are sitting upon a gentle hill. Abandoned my initial drawing effort (in which I had failed to recognize the hill) and will restart after further study.
