On page 37 how to you go about establishing a mirror plane that is the right size and at the corrct angle relative to the tilted rotatated. plane ? :/
That one is triky because it requires that you have more knowledge of perspective grids which he talks about in the next chapter. Try jumping to P 51, which is the one that teaches you how to make the right grid for the exercise. In the video for P 37 he explains the process more throughly: http://scottrobertsonworkshops.com/h2dr/videos/
Regarding the right size, the planes are theoretically infinite. When Scott defines a plane size in the book it's merely for illustrative purposes, plane size doesn't come into account when mirroring, maybe this is the reason for your confusion? Regarding the angle, the only requirement is that it's vertically oriented, like the side of a 2-point perspective cube, and it's also best to keep it close to the tilted rotated plane you're going to mirror.
Wow thanks so much , you helped alot :)
Let's be real here for a second: fineliners can get pricey. It varies from brand to brand, store to store, and country to country, but good fineliners like the Staedtler Pigment Liner (my personal brand favourite) can cost an arm and a leg. I remember finding them being sold individually at a Michael's for $4-$5 each. That's highway robbery right there.
Now, we're not a big company ourselves or anything, but we have been in a position to periodically import large batches of pens that we've sourced ourselves - using the wholesale route to keep costs down, and then to split the savings between getting pens to you for cheaper, and setting some aside to one day produce our own.
These pens are each hand-tested (on a little card we include in the package) to avoid sending out any duds (another problem with pens sold in stores). We also checked out a handful of different options before settling on this supplier - mainly looking for pens that were as close to the Staedtler Pigment Liner. If I'm being honest, I think these might even perform a little better, at least for our use case in this course.
We've also tested their longevity. We've found that if we're reasonably gentle with them, we can get through all of Lesson 1, and halfway through the box challenge. We actually had ScyllaStew test them while recording realtime videos of her working through the lesson work, which you can check out here, along with a variety of reviews of other brands.
Now, I will say this - we're only really in a position to make this an attractive offer for those in the continental United States (where we can offer shipping for free). We do ship internationally, but between the shipping prices and shipping times, it's probably not the best offer you can find - though this may depend. We also straight up can't ship to the UK, thanks to some fairly new restrictions they've put into place relating to their Brexit transition. I know that's a bummer - I'm Canadian myself - but hopefully one day we can expand things more meaningfully to the rest of the world.
