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.
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!
