Unlock your storytelling potential by learning how to draw in perspective
Too often we let our weakness hold back the stories we want to tell. Don't let perspective drawing hold back your storytelling potential. Professional illustrator David Hohn breaks down the basics of one and two point perspective in a way that is simple and easy to understand.
Every illustration David creates starts with the principles taught in this course and uses perspective in a way to enhance his storytelling instead of hindering it.
In this class you will learn:
-
The basics of one and two point perspective
-
How to draw clean, straight lines and smooth, even ellipses
-
Where to put the horizon line and vanishing points in your drawing
-
What an orthogonal is
-
What the cone of vision is, and how to avoid common mistakes in perspective drawing
-
How to use a square plane as a unit of measurement in one and two point perspective
-
How vanishing points expand and contract as an object is rotated in perspective
-
How to draw multiple objects with different vanishing points in the same drawing
-
The anatomy of an ellipse
-
How to find the major and minor axis in an ellipse

Read MoreDavid's class proves that you can never learn enough about pov drawing! I thought I'm ok at pov - just ok, not great - and now have learned purposes of different pov's, and going beyond using line guides. Learning perspectives can be scary - so technical - David makes it friendly, fun and importantly, in context.

Read MoreDavid Hohn has crafted a linear perspective primer using clear language and excellent examples, including real world photography. As a beginner, I never felt out of my depth, and with the tools and knowledge acquired through the course, I was able to complete the final assignment, as well as have a clear understanding of how to employ perspective in future pieces. Thanks David!
