Hello! My name is Andrej and Im really looking forward to this course! So I thought I’d simply pick some of my favorite artists, post their work which includes interesting perspective and say what I like about them and what I would like to learn from them. But to be honest, identifiyng the "interesting perspective" part of it was harder than I thought. The thing is, a lot of art that I like doesnt rely on a bombastic and complex perspective. Most of it is about the emotion and vibe that characters give off through their body language, the stories they evoke by little details and how they come alive when drawn in different poses and from different angles. That being said, I would like to mention that Im a beginner. When trying to create such lively characters from imagination, I often struggle because I lack the natural ability to move and rotate forms in specific ways. Occasionally I may get some picture "right" by chance or with significant effort, but as soon as I try to draw the same characters in a different situation or from a different view, its all very inconsitent and just... weird. I think, that the lack of the ability to move and rotate forms is also making it harder for me to properly learn other concepts like proportions and anatomy. I feel like If I learn better perspective now, it will help me to learn those other concepts as well. So my main goal is to get an overal better understanding of forms and their movement in 3d space. And then, I can freely explore ideas and tell stories without being constantly slowed down. I chose these artists as a base for my perspective learning inspiration: - Frank Frazetta - Heinrich Kley - Ian McCaig

Hi, @rinivar . I'm not a fellow student who's taking this course but I decided to go through people's picks out of curiosity. I read your post because I really loved your picks and as someone with a bit more experience I would love to give a bit of advice. You don't need perspective to learn proportion and anatomy and not knowing it won't stop you from that. That being said it can always help especially if you cannot place characters or just simple mannequins in space. Having taken other proko original courses, this one might be coming out for a long while so I suggest you start learning anatomy and proportions whenever you want without waiting for this one to finish. I hope this helps, I don't like giving advices that nobody asked for but I felt it could save you some regret in the future for postponing important fundamentals. Have a great day, afternoon or a night wherever you are!
