Yes it sure was 😀👍🏻, and a remainder to why it's worth doing this art thing in the first place! And good to get things in, oh well...in perspective. Reminding me to also try and play around with the content and to develop other art muscles and creativity together with whatever fun exercises that will be presented through out the course.

I took my turn at playing around with drawing—just making things up and taking some time to mess around in a childlike way. I hope it’s okay to post it here!

I have been trained as an observational artist. How to break out of that? It's a bit scary, but I felt that it was time to jump off of a cliff and do something like perspective. I wish I had learned more about it earlier. What do I want to accomplish? Oh, who cares. Who do I love? Don't get me started. Let's start with Hugh Ferris - perspective, geometry, light, mood and imagination. Going down that rabbit hole, I could find so many artists who venture into Utopia. I figured I have enough time to take that jourmey. That's it.. down that path.

Hi all! I’m like that guy in the animation :), having studied copying directly from life and would like to crack open and develop better the ability of just inventing and creating from imagination. In this the main thing being able to draw characters/creatures from imagination in different poses and from wildly different angles and view points and distances, looking up/down at them and looking from up close and from afar. Also being able to add in environments as backgrounds, sketch in buildings/ cliffs/trees/ bigger vistas etc. At least to sketch in the layout, then to be developed after ability and need for the image. Overall in these things then aiming for artistically working perspective, something that feels nice, not necessarily absolutely ’correct’ perspective. And being able to better use reference for whatever and being able to take forms and characteristics of stuff and mold and change them according to the things in the image. Also important is developing the sense of form and space in perspective better in order to apply shading over things from imagination. And being able to integrate from imagination and from looking at physical maquettes/models with some set lighting and/or basic computer renderings of such stuff and scenery layouts. (Also I do absolutely not have anything against cool spaceships and vehicles either, and admire things like the Scott Robertson stuff, and being able to design, shade and finish up those kind of designs would be neat indeed. :) ) Collection of favorite drawings by perspective masters: Some selected examples from Kentaro Miuras Berserk, I think he was really good at using a dynamic ’camera’. Changing around both viewpoint and angle and distance , with high/low/level and close up/midrange/bigger overviews and different levels of zoomed in and out. Also very dynamic is Simon Bisley in his illustrations from the Bible so I added five examples of those.
