Perspective I - Introduction
This course is an incredible way to begin your classes with us! While perspective is a fairly common drawing skill in high-school, the actual skills learned often fall short of what is required in a rigorous discipline like animation, especially if you want to continue into Background Design, Layout, or Storyboarding. We created both this course and Perspective II - Advanced because of how many students we had previously worked with that didn’t have some of the important basic skills required to draw full environments — both interior and exterior.
