Make perspective work for you!
I'm giving a lecture this Saturday online. Join me
HEREDescription:
Figures versus backgrounds. One is full of life and fluidity, the other rulers and math, or so many artists believe. But what if I told you that perspective drawing doesn't have to revolve around a meticulously constructed grid? What if I told you that perspective tools can even enhance your figure drawing, no math needed? In this session, we're going to learn how perspective works at the most basic levels and how to use the fundamentals of perspective to bring depth any kind of drawing, even characters in a natural setting. We'll then expand upon that and talk about vanishing points, what they are, why they are, and how to use them without overburdening yourself. Finally, we'll talk about how perspective tools can help us position objects in space quickly. By the end of this session, you'll be ready to make perspective drawing work for you and not the other way around!

Welcome to my new site!
Hey everyone! I have a brand-new beautiful website with an incredible back-end created by the magnificent (and fellow Spiderforest member) Alyssa.
Now that my site is more organized and easier to update, I plan to be using it more often. New art will be posted in the "Latest Works" section.
