Hi
A month ago I finished the basic perspective drawing class. I feel perspective is one of my biggest weaknesses. So I dragged my feet doing this assignment. I have done 3 drawing that I am quite happy with. This is the best of the 3 drawings.
Thank you to all of you who have done the final perspective assignment and putting it up on this forum. It was encouraging to see. It was because of this I decided to have ago at it.
Critiques are welcome.
Hi
I am in my late 30’s, a father of 3 and work as a shipper/receiver for a plumbing wholesaler. Most of my working life my jobs have been lower tier physical labour jobs with some exceptions.
I really like the 3 point perspective topic about having dreams, and working towards them. This year i have been pushing myself out of my comfort zone with my art. Wanting to kick my skill level up a couple of notches and trying to work towards my dream of illustrating 1 kids lit book and/or making illustrating a full time job. My goal this year is to have a website show casing my portfolio.
So with this in mind i have some questions:
Is it too late to make a career change into illustration?
Is this dream attainable how did you do it? What steps did you take to get to where wanted to be?
When did you decide to make it a full time gig? Or, did/do you still work a full time job and do illustration on the side?
Is there a well known illustrator that you admire that started their illustration career later in life?
Thanks for taking your time to read.

I am going for a tropical beach theme. Here are my silhouettes. 
Final rendered piece. What do you think?
I too just started the course and I will be doing the first assignment tonight. I am thinking of doing a beach theme lamp. It would be great to go through it with a group of people. My schedule varies as I have 3 kids and a full time job to juggle. I will post on this thread when I have something.
Wow that is awesome. I also like you LEGO model, what ever helps. I should do the same with my kids LEGO.
I decided to do a simple design. 
@PieterVanDerBeek i really like how you have kept the rendering simple, the reflected light of the light bulb is done well. The shadow on the plunger could be a little bit darker. Other than that this is awesome.
@Mairin-Kareli I like the design of this lamp. Amazing.
@Mairin-Kareli so looking at your drawing, I think you’re right, start off drawing it in cubes and rectangles. Or if you want to do a big 3/4 rectangular cube, break it down to 3 sections.
What I have been doing is making an X corner to corner top and bottom on the box and another line connecting the x. This helps me understand the space I have with in the box, also helps keep the 3/4 view of the drawing.
I do like the design, it has a very earthy feel to it.

@Mairin-Kareli do you still need help with your art work?
