Thumbnails...now that's my speed right now! I'm looking forward to the rest, disappointed that I missed out on joining folks earlier than this. But I'm happy that I can do it on my schedule. :)

Great, I remembered that I joined this course and I'm glad I came back again! I'll be able to really get into the classes soon. I'm doing a bunch of 3D-related stuff, but I do miss drawing. I love that 600-year perspective tale, Marshall! Can't wait to watch and learn from the rest, but that part is so coo. :D

I never thought about WHO I liked and who is a perspective master, but I sometimes feel drawn to certain images because I feel like I'm in the scene. Here are a few artists: For characters, Glen Keane is just awesome with his use of perspective. The characters ARE their world with the movements and foreshortening and the amount of perspective used. Really...animated! I like Feng Zhu's expansive environments, and I'm awestruck by how he makes concepts, including "photo-bashing" and working with the perspective of the world in his pieces. I love the bright and saturated worlds that Jonathan Ball creates, where atmospheric perspective really shows the depth in his 3D work. I find many older paintings and such are not interesting to me. I want to try more semi-realistic, "whimsical", sometimes drastic or kind of drastic and vast environments, but also scenes with characters as the main subjects in many cases. I cannot figure out foreshortening, the turning of cylindrical objects with other objects on them, like spiked collars or patterns on pillars. If I can understand that, grasp it with my crummy understanding and odd depth-perception, that'll be a miracle and pleasant surprise! As for characters, if they're kneeling or just standing, close up or kind of close, how do I know how strong the perspective should be? I'd like to exaggerate some, but not TOO much. Another thing, and I LOVE this, is the atmospheric perspective. I think I'm good at that. It makes the most sense to me and I want to incorporate it more in my sketches, even.
