In this class, you’ll learn more about how to use perspective in your drawings to evoke emotion and add interest and energy to your scene

Many artists find perspective to be a weakness. And it can be hard imagining how shapes and structures appear as we look at them from different vantage points. 

This class focuses on intuitive, freehand drawing tips to keep in mind when drawing scenes from unique perspectives. 

 

You’ll learn:

  • How to determine which perspective vantage point to use
  • Planning out your drawing with guidelines  
  • Using perspective to enhance the message and emotion of your drawing 
  • One, two and three point perspective 
  • How to draw tricky shapes in perspective 
  • Adding texture and lighting 

This class is for people who have some experience drawing, but might be intimidated by perspective or struggle to effectively use perspective in their art. For those completely new to perspective, I’ve included a quick 101 tutorial to get you up to speed!

So sharpen your pencil and let’s get drawing. I’m excited to see what you create!
