watching this video I realised every other time I've tried to 'learn' perspective, I've been learning the 'tricks' as you called them with no understanding of how or why or when to use them. In that very sentence I understood why I've been so stuck, and why it's been an up hill battle that seems to go no where. I feel less like it's perspective that is the problem, but the way I was trying to learn. So ready for perspective to become an ally. Thank you again for creating this course. So excited for all that is to come. It looks like it's going to be even more in depth than I could have dreamed of.

I think you're right. As hard as perspective is, it's way easier than learning your native language. It takes a lot of time and work, but the order of how we go about the work makes a huge difference. Regarding how deeply we will go: deep enough. Mechanical Drawing, like engineers use, goes beyond what we will cover in this course, partly because it would take many times longer, but mainly because it's about drawing machinery to industry specs. If you want to go that deep, this will be a strong first-dig. For the rest of us, this is to move beyond perspective as an obstacle, so we can use it as an ally. And you are welcome! I'm glad to get to teach you!

I can't explain how excited I am for this course. No one has ever made the process of learning perspective feel so exciting, or achievable- until Marshal. Some problems I want to solve, is for a start, feeling like I understand what I'm drawing rather than copying or recreating what I have committed to memory. I want to be able to create form from the ground up and wield it like a very shiny sword in my battles against visual storytelling. I'm tired of fighting with a stick. I want to add depth to my character illustrations and I want to not feel so immobilized by fear when it comes to tackling backgrounds. I want to be able to draw characters in different angles and retain the form consistently most of all. Artists I look up to that utilise perspective: - Cutiicosmo - Geoffroy Thoorens - Matt Rhodes - Wendell Dalit - Shiyoon Kim

We will work on simple projects to get you past immobilizing fear, and challenging projects that foster just enough fear to keep you sharp.  May you forge strong stories, and wield deft swords in the execution of your images!  (sorry!)
