Perspective course (Patreon only)
As a child I was always drawing, first more from imagination and from 9 years on I was more interested in drawing from life. When I was about 11 years old, I first learned about perspective. It completely changed my life. I learned that there's logic in the way we see things and how we can put three dimensions on a flat surface. It made drawing more fun and easier.
Whether you want to paint or draw landscapes, architecture, still lifes or the human figure: a basic knowledge of perspective helps enormously. In this perspective course I hope to show you that perspective is not hard and boring. I've made the course for absolute beginners and I cover all the basics you need.
