added comment inAssignment - Perspective for Drawing Anything
Asked for help
I want exactly what you said in the video. To be able to control perspective enough so that I can build my own worlds. Or something along those lines. I've played a little with drawing cubes and buildings in perspective, but I find it dreadfully boring, BUT I realize I have to have this skill to some extent to realistically make the worlds I want to make. I mostly practice figure drawing and portraits to be honest, but in future I would love to put the stories in my mind onto paper, so I need the perspective too. I'm excited to see how I draw by the end of this course.
Hi Rembert! How important would you say sketchbooking from life is compared to all the other fundamentals you can always study? Would you say 50/50? Or something different? Thanks!

Hey there! I'm just curious, how many hours did you start to put into your art practice daily before it started to really "click" for you? I'm trying to teach myself and I want to get a good daily habit going that lets me see real improvement sooner than later.
Thanks for any tips and keep going with the amazing content. Can't wait for the new art book I read through the first two in a matter of days!

Scott, just finished going through your character design course here on Proko. How many pages would a beginner at art have to put down of little designs to see some substantial progress? Also, are you adding more to that course and if so, when can we look forward to the next part?
Also, would you recommend using reference for the ideation process? Because I feel like I'm just ripping you off, doing the Pumpkin guys and kind of wanna come up with my own IP ideations... To do so though, I'm not good enough to pop figures out of my head without reference. Even the little thumb nails... or is part of the point to train your imagination? Even with figures. Hopefully this makes sense. I kind of just spat it out.

Alrighty Scott. SUPER excited to be here. Just jotted this down in five seconds, whilst watching your live stream via Youtube. Don't mind my son's beautiful dragon. But this is my first rendition of our beloved Harvester. I bought your premium too and will be uploading my sheets full soon. This is just the first of many. A preview. Can't wait!
There's just no stopping the chaos. Every time I start a page. I start another... Be gentle. Too many cool ideas. This one was digital.
I'm looking over the edge and about to jump off into full blown commitment to my art. I would love nothing more than transitioning from writing fantasy into Illustrating/writing books and children's books. Any advice for a new artist about to make the plunge? I know they're no shortcuts in life but in your honest opinion what would the best way to go about this be if I want my skills to skyrocket over the next year?
Thank you and keep making amazing art!

I think that sounds like an awesome edge to jump off of. Good for you. You won't die bro. I'm serious. You are the descendant of millions of generations of living beings which 'made it'. You will make it too if you don't stop. It's actually in your DNA. You have it in you to survive, and to make something wonderful of your life. All of us alive today are at the spearpoint of time, space, and the process of evolution. That's a pretty cool to think about. It means you're sort of a badass filled within untold quantities of untapped or latent potential. Thanks for the question, and thanks for your support man. Good luck. Use the tools you have at your disposal. Find your path and walk it.
