I love the idea of splitting the works into sub-categories to study specific things from; I feel like this could be useful for any project!
Me too! I was getting the feeling that my choices were very composition focused! Having that validated, being offered a solution, and being taught how to find good references instead is awesome!

I'm fighting the urge not to confuse myself by looking into orthos early, I've never heard of it before!

Nothing wrong with looking ahead if you're interested. But believe me, we will get into them...

I really like that he mentioned the freedom of an artist: you can choose aesthetic over technical truth.
me too, its very refreshing to hear, especially if you've been fixating on the technical stuff!

Marshall, I appreciate how you addressed the choice between accuracy and aesthetics in the final product in the *beginning* of the course! I've had teachers in the past wait until the very end of their long course just to say "non of what you just learned matters", without elaborating further. Seeing it both brought up AND explained so early here is very nice!

Thanks Randy. That was exactly the reason. Respecting this skill, not making it the last word.

I hope that when I examine my choice of works, the fact that they're pretty simple doesn't hinder my learning. Yoshida's work seems to have a lot to analyze and learn from on a piece to piece basis, I think mine will end up being very simplistic, like single characters for example. Any advice from you guys?

Single characters are fine. We've gotta start somewhere!
Remember — this is a mindset. Anything that gets you seeing the way the illusion works gets you seeing.
Drawing with perspective is about foundations and layers. I think you will quickly see how to build on any initial accomplishment and over time create complexity in your work. Don't be intimidated by someone else's finished product thinking you'll never get there. You will just like they did. One step at a time.
Asked for help
Hey hey, people, im excited to get the class started, I forsee much struggle in all our futures but just as many gains! Lets get it!
Big picture, i want pulling off whatever perspective idea i have bouncing around in my head to be as close to second natrue as humanly possible (or at least as close as i can personally get to it)! Now, BIG BIG picture, i want to be able to create striking images using dramatic perspectives to both grab attention as well as tell stories with the help of perspective like the ones i enjoy on social media!
