The field desk

Make a little room for drawing.

Choose a prompt. Set a timer. Keep a useful note. Everything in the notebook stays in this browser unless you export it.

01 / An outing prompt

A doorway and its shadow

Draw one doorway. Give the shadow a single connected shape and leave the surrounding wall mostly open.

15 minutes

02 / A quiet timer

20:00

Ready when you are. No sound or notifications.

The timer uses elapsed time if this tab goes into the background. It does not keep a closed browser or sleeping device awake.

03 / See the structure

Where is your eye level?

A simple two-point perspective model. Move the horizon and compare the two faces. The red guides lead towards the vanishing points.

Schematic study · not a measured buildingEye level

The vanishing points share your eye level. Vertical edges stay upright in this level-view model.
