About this course

This beginner course teaches perspective as a buildable system rather than a vague feel for depth. You will learn to anchor every drawing to a horizon line and vanishing points, construct boxes and rooms in one-, two-, and three-point perspective, divide and multiply space with diagonals, and foreshorten figures and objects correctly. By the end you can draw a convincing interior, a street of buildings, and a fisheye scene from scratch, and diagnose why a wonky drawing reads as wrong.
