This is a really nice drawing, and I think the perspective is fine. Do beware of ellipsis, you have a couple that could use some work, but overall, this is good perspective. The only perspective issue is the cat, it's too big. If you bring the cat forward, it's almost as big as the bike. One thing I will say is that with drawings this detailed, sometimes there are tangents, or areas where lines can touch other lines and flatten out a shape. Try to overlap the shapes or pull them farther apart to solve that issue. I did a quick diagram to show you what I mean. I wish you success with your mural :)

This piece is very fun and evocative of the time period. Yes, you may have some small perspective issues that are not technically "correct" if you took a ruler to it and marked it with red lines but I don't think that would improve your work. I wouldn't change anything unless after a few days looking at it something feels wrong and needs attention. Nothing stands out like that to me. I think after you take Marshall's course (I'll be there too), you might look back at this and see things that are "wrong". This looks good. Are you painting it full color?

Finally I realise that your bicycle is leaning a little, so the ellipse of the rear wheel seems to be correct ... I guess I was a bit tired yesterday ...

I am so excited for this course!! I feel like perspective is the block that I need to jump over to figure things out as an artist and it is the thing I struggle with most to solve. I have attempted the anatomy course multiple times, but when I try to get to the part where you rotate a simplified anatomy structure I always fall apart and end up quitting again and again. I would really love to SOLVE this problem this time and gain traction in both skill sets. I am a picture book artist, so my main goal is to be able to place characters into believable, interesting scenes. I would really love to be able to make environments that lie in the direction of old Disney movies like from the 101 dalmatians and the Aristocrats. At the same time, however, I love a huge subsets of artists who break perspective routinely, and in picture books it is currently favored to have a more "naive" look at perspective like these images by Felicita Sala. I would love to know how artists know where to break" the perspective to make more interesting view points. I have included the work of Bernie Fuchs here because they exemplify that sort of quality- where he is using perspective to make his point, but isn't a slave to it. One thing that I keep trying to do and failing at is to draw things from extreme worms eye or birds eye views and I would love to be able to do that more confidentially. I would dearly love to be able to draw a figure from any view without relying so dang heavily on photo reference. The amount of time I spend looking for reference is a crime and I should be jailed for it, but I just don't have the understanding yet. Finally, I am including an image of my own work as a benchmark from where I am starting. I once had to illustrate a 1901 New York scene from a birds eye view. I relied heavily on 3d models/mockups/photos to help me draw it because I don't have enough of a grasp on perspective to understand where I am breaking it. I know that there are a lot of errors in this image but I don't know how to correct it yet. I'm excited to be able to spot what is wrong and know how to fix it for future projects!

I came to the forum to ask just for this thing! I have watched the videos he offers on his website, and they were super helpful. I think he is the clearest, best perspective teacher I have ever seen and I keep checking back to see when this is happening. I've gotten the books he recommended, but a lot of the concepts don't quite click for me yet, so I am eagerly awaiting his course.

Hi again! I did a few more of these but still feel confused about some of the figures, especially when they are bending forward. I am struggling to understand when we see the top or bottom planes of the pelvis. I would love your thoughts! Thanks so much!

Hi there, I was hoping someone could look these over for me and make sure I am not making terrible mistakes. I am a bit confused about things when the model bends forward in some of the poses because I am not sure how much of the box we would see. I would really appreciate any help with this! Thanks!

Hey Jeanne Bowman, I looked at your drawings, and I noticed that you are doing pretty good. There are a few things that I think you could do to make these more accurate. Mostly, you need to remember that the torso tilts back and the pelvis tilts down. This means we will see the bottom of the ribcage and the top and bottom of the pelvis. I did a quick sketch to show you what I mean, I hope it helps :)
