Drifter,

Bit of constructive criticism. you can view the item in question by moving your eyes which can create distortions in perspective because you are living in a 3D world, rendering to a 2D world.

Your divsion line of your perspective should be the closest edge of your modem. Therefore all lines going off to the left which are horizontal to the picture plain in the orthographic should receed to your imaginary vanishing point on your left perspective point, likewise on the right. This is simple two point perspective as you only use three point normally with buildings because they are so big.

The lines of convergence are opposite on the lable around the modem to perspective that I learned in school (mind you remember I am a nerd, I drop things through a cone of vision -- had to compete against guys who learned drafting in high school when in college -- you know I really didn't want to take cooking class, would have rather had shop classes, nevertheless, I still passed). But check our your perspective, easy correction.

Uh!?

well, thanks for the constructive criticism sally, that's why i'm here, to learn

i made some changes

if it still looks weird, it is just because that's the shape of the thing - it is quite oddly shaped....

The perspective is much better. Don't mind me, for years I've taken my drawings and held them up to the mirro because I tend to elongate something when it is laying obliquely to me. It happens.

It's all about learning how to see. We think we are seeing but until you draw something in detail, you really have missed a lot.

Good attention to detail.

Nice work. I have one of those too.

In post 284 pauland asked me how i made the chuck in my makita drill

i didn't give a very good answer, so here is the .xar file

and now you will see that it wasn't made all that well at all - but from a distance, it works...
