Read MoreThank you, Jake Parker for this incredibly comprehensive course on drawing in perspective. My own observation regarding vanishing points is that there are infinite numbers of them. Objects define vanishing points and not the other way around. There are no straight lines in nature. Man thinks and draws and creates in straight lines, though, and that is why cityscapes and room interiors line up with only a few vanishing points. I write this not to contradict anything you have taught because everything you are teaching is correct and very applicable. Instead, I am writing this to answer the question asked by your students, “How do you know where to place your vanishing point?” The answer is simple. The vanishing point is dictated by the object and not the other way around.

Read MoreOne of the best courses here! Now I can say I know perspective. Great class, very informative and well planned course. Another one that changed the way I draw, for the much better. The exercises do help and I was able to complete all of them, happy because thanks to the explanations I knew what I was drawing and why.

Read MoreVery good class. It does include a lot of important aspects of perspective. The only down side I found is that the information on figure perspective is minimum and I saw nothing about figure foreshortening. Yet it's excellent for structures.
