Perspective is my greatest challenge; it's a real slog for me to figure it all out properly. This class clarified and simplified perspective principals. I'm continually pleased with the quality of SVS courses. As a minor production note, often the disparity in volumes between presenter voices (had to turn it up to hear Jake, but then Will's comments were blasting) was jarring. I think, based on what I've seen you chaps doing lately, that this is probably a moot comment moving forward. Anyway, fantastic content - much appreciated!

Thank you Jake Parker and Will Terry for creating this class and teaching it so well. If you are like me, you have struggled with the concepts around perspective. I have taken classes before which 'explained' it but it just never sunk in before. This class presents it all and almost makes it look easy! I am looking for ward to doing the exercises. The NOTES Jake included in the download are priceless. Every student should take this class.

A good explanation of concepts concerning perspective. Though the presentation bogged down at times, ideas about this topic were presented that I hadn't seen before were discussed. Terrific refresher course on one, two, and three point perspective; POV from a camera view angle; size, regular spacing, and arrangement of characters on a receding plane; dividing of shapes in Photoshop; free-handing cast shadow angles; object reflection in a lake; and the application to a creative viewpoint and the arrangement of objects in a room. An excellent course to open your eyes to the possibilities of dimensional space in your illustrations. A course sure to give you a more professional approach to the composing of your work. Highly recommended!

This is a perfect lesson, as it gives you the building blocks of drawing everything in space.

Thank you!

This really helped me with perspective! Thanks Jake and Will!

Thank 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.

Thanks to Jake for sharing his knowledge and skill with perspective. Thanks to Will for fielding questions, sharing insights and sharing the class with us.

Very 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.

I learned a lot that I never knew and brushed up on things I did know!

One 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.

I am very impressed with the way this course was structured. It was very interesting and full of accessible knowledge.

This course covered a good variety of perspective situations without getting too complicated and overwhelming. It's a nice starting off point for beginners. It had a really good way of explaining field of view vs point of view, which I had trouble understanding before. The demos were very helpful. I also appreciated Will Terry's commentary throughout, which added in additional information. The only thing I found lacking was the explanation on shadows in perspective. "Successful Drawing", by Andrew Loomis and "Perspective Made Easy", by Ernest R. Norling have much better explanations for shadows. Overall, this was a well presented course, worth checking out.
