added comment inAssignment - Perspective for Drawing Anything
Asked for help
Hi everyone,
Here are some old and new favorites. Moebius, Yang Jialun, Robert Watts, and Antonio Sant'Elia. I appreciate the excellent draftsmanship that each of these four have. The first three in particular have a mastery of traditional perspective, but also composition and staging. Their work has a great sense of depth, and they successfully populate their settings with full figures in the foreground and background (no doubt an effective depth cue that helps with the former point). That talent for creating compositions from a medium/long range with figures in their environment is great for narrative.
My big picture goal is to ultimately improve my skills in those same areas - staging scenes with depth, figures near and far, and solid composition, almost like creating 2D "playsets." I'm hoping that improving my ability to sketch scenes freehand but maintain accurate perspective will make it easier to arrive at a satisfactory layout before sitting down to do a final piece. I'm very excited to sharpen old skills and learn new ones, it's already been fun to jot down names of artists I wasn't yet familiar with!
