  • This video is all about drawing figures in perspective. Starting with a simple figure in perspective, we add other figures into the scene, explore working with different planes, seated figures along standing figures, and finish with a drawing of figures populating a city street.

    David thank you for this!!! I read the comments and they are right even in master courses they shy away from projecting figures in perspective. You went all the way to 3 point! That’s what’s up!! I hope this vid gets 1million views because you made everything very digestible.
