added comment inHow to Choose Artworks for Learning Perspective
Thank you for your course Marshall, it has been really enlightening so far, especially (but not only!) the last critique video. Lots of useful info and content I found nowhere else. As Espy said before me, I would definitely enjoy other courses from you, whether you're dealing with the fundamentals of art or more advanced techniques. Looking forward to more !

Asked for help
Hello all, I'm Leïla, very pleased to be here and looking forward to Marshall's course !
I'm a self-taught artist (well, apart from online classes from times to times, I never had a formal art education) and perspective has always been the tricky subject, unless with references. I never draw backgrounds and complete scenery and I'd like this to change. I would like to create full illustrations with interesting composition and a sense of storytelling. Basically, like Marshall said, being able to draw the scenes that often play in my mind without needing the exact reference for the character pose or the environment (which is nearly impossible to find).
Learning perspective and how to effectively apply it would be the first essential step on this long (exciting) road.
For inspiration, It's difficult to have a list but I'm thinking about Hayao Miyasaki, Glen Keane, Moebius, and some 18th century historical engravings (but there are still many artists to think about and a great deal has already been quoted before : Juanjo Guarnido, Kim Jung Gi, James Gurney, Jean-Baptiste Monge...)
