I hate perspective painting, so I did it for 100 hours

you're a real one for forcing yourself to do perspective for 100 hours. i avoid it like the plague LOL

The way you just jump into the painting part without procrastinating for a week is really awe-inspiring. Mad respect

As a fellow artist, I so admire your determination to not just shy away from unpleasant challenges but actually do the opposite and actively turn them into a project. And the outcome is absolutely amazing. Your painting skills have always been impressive, the light and shadows and use of colour are already beautiful as it is, but now with the added perspective? Mind-blowing. It looks so comfy and friendly and nice. I wish I could live in this city <3

The most underrated part of this channel is the sick background score and the crisp editing. They put you in the right vibe. 🎉

I teach technical drawing at a technical college in Australia and I have no end of trouble explaining perspective to my students. With your permission I would like to show them this video. It might get it through to them. Cheers, another great video.🧙‍♂

You should make a virtual art gallery where you can showcase all your work. I would absolutly love to have a closer look at paintings like this. I am stunned as always!

wow just watching this and realizing how background artist for either live action movies or animated ones have to go through before computer became accessible enough to do this faster and less time consuming. So seeing you do this is amazing.

I swear learning perspective takes an artist's work for incredible to insane. Perspective gives so much emotion, depth, and storytelling to a piece and I love seeing what artists do with that.

Once again she says "Here's this thing I don't like and need to learn" and does better in a few days' time than I could ever dream of doing in an entire lifetime. It looks AMAZING!!!

God this art is so imaginative and fun. I would love to just fill my entire walls with it.

This painting turned out absolutely stunning! Every time I thought it was close to being done, you just kept on adding more and more detail and it just looked better and better. There’s something that’s just so inspiring to me when i watch your work. It makes me want to learn perspective and painting as well! I hope to some day reach your skill level, whenever I decide to start learning. This channel never fails to inspire and motivate me to try and learn new things, and I just find that so amazing. Please, never stop doing what you’re doing, never stop inspiring people and just being creative.

It is always entertaining to see what you are up to. The only thing I really recommend to have in mind while drawing perspective, is proportions. The painting seems a little bit flat, because the foreground and the background building, have the same size. If a building were that far away, would be so tiny, and have so much more atmospheric fog, most likely to a point where the background building will look like a flat blueish shape. The background competes with the foreground, and our brain gets confused because it breaks the illusion of deep. Maybe that is why you feel something is off. And do not bother with details for all the painting, you can focus all your details on the foreground, it will look great, and you will save so much time/energy. And hopefully, it will be less overwhelming, since you will see the big picture faster.

One of my drawing teachers said that if the object gets too close (or too far) to the vanishing point it can get distorted. I think that's why you thought the castle was looking "weird". But this painting and everything you did in 100 hours is just amazing and makes me want to practice perspective too. I am definitely checking out the playlist you recommended.

Thanks to you and your boyfriend i have been getting a LOT more into art... And for someone who can't even draw stick figures properly.. I have been learning Unreal Engine 5 (because i saw your Blender 100 hour challenge - so it's sort of relative) and i must say... Thank you so much for giving me a new interest and new respect and love for art!! I'm so excited to learn and potentially have enough knowledge to teach others or even start a career out of it! :) Appreciate your efforts and originality! Seeya!

You are the only page I allow notifications on. I Absoutly love your work! My daughter and I used to build fairy gardens and boats for the fairys, to sail the creek. That was 8 years ago. Now she is an outstanding artist, with an imagination so big. I learned a lot from your videos. And was able to pass that on to her. YOU are a great artist!

OMG THE PINKY HAS BEEN MISSING THIS WHOLE TIME? You're amazing

This was super cool. I was in Oslo last weekend and saw your huge fantasy diorama in Outland, it gave me a whole new level of appreciation for what you do and your dedication to honing your crafts. Keep up the amazing work!

Martina, your talent is absolutely insane. I genuinely teared up when you started to add details to the foreground buildings. Maybe it was the music, maybe it was the tiny windows, roof tiles and beams.

I wanted to thank you guys for inspiring me to pick up Blender on your 100 hour Blender challenge! Since I watched it, I followed the tutorials you guys had in the playlist, and since then I havent stopped. Im in love with Blender now and can make amazing compositions I would have never dreamed on before! So tyvm once again, you guys are awesome!

Since you are not doing measured, accurate renderings such as an architectural rendering would be-- you can try this: when you go to the trouble of using a string to establish a vanishing point... two things: more natural perspective has one of the left/right vanishing points closer to the center of the view. Two-- subtle perspectives look more realistic. Here, subtle means the VPs are more distant. Here goes: when you set up your string and you have an area that is to be painted, place a piece of heavy material on the edge of the area (canvas or other material). I use very heavy illustration board, you also use 6mm plywood or thin wood. Now, pick a point on the string that falls inside the illustration board (or etc.). Wrap the string around a pencil. Slowly move the pencil as far up and down the piece of illustration board you can, keeping the pencil vertical to the surface. You now have an arc. Cut away on one side. What you have now is an arc of material-- keep it attached to the art board! -- that you can place a t-square on. This t-square edge will sweep up and down following the natural perspective lines. This is a lot easier than trying to us string! Try it and see. The hardest thing is to keep it all attached. My professor used to work on a huge drafting table and just used small nails to fix his perspective arcs to the board. But he did a lot of crazy things. Back in the day, you could buy perspective arcs with different distances to VPs. Like 80cm or 2m, etc. In 3-point perspective, how far up or down you place the VP from the horizon line, gives different results. Subtler is farther away-- now more easily achievable with an arc shape! If you want to "see" where your landmarks are in a perspective rendering-- extend your vertical lines downward and sketch out squares in the foreground. if you follow those squares back using their diagonal, you will see a perfect "tiled floor" effect, because a 45-degree angle is a part of a square. Even if the square is a little wonky, by moving "into" perspective, you follow the same 45-degree angle back (yes! the "45-degree vanishing point will give you all the construction lines you need). Then sketch your plan, building or streets and where the hills or mountains would be-- use the perspective lines to bring those elements up to the area of the painting. There, you will see how big things should be as the move into the distance. Not a perfect method but gives a good, rough guide! Keep going!
