You are reminding me that there is a reason I now introduce students to Plan Projection early in their training to get that question out of the way. But as much as it relieves tension to know that their is an exact way to project, it's much more valuable to imprint the proportions of the cube into the brain by practice. Not practical to always be projecting plans. Much better to sketch and say "that looks right".

I do agree - as with learning a foreign language, better to go for it and risk some grammatical errors. Still, it's good to have a dictionary and a basic grammar to refer to. Very pleased to be able to check - it's not so intuitive how one side can foreshorten so much more than the other.

Solifer - Isn’t it so refreshing that you have know problem understanding something very clear in your second language. He is good!

Love your voice.

I'm working on series for 2020 that will be more comprehensive, but surely Mizo - you know of Scott Robertson's books and videos, right? It's all there, done very well. Here are my reviews of my favorites in book form: www.marshallart.com/reviews/draftsmanship/

he is a great artist with stunning works but i have never seen someone explaining perspective the way as it should be for example as you did with the old intro to perspective series the enthusiasm in your teaching makes me absorb info faster which i don't forget, also when you explain a matter you put in your considration the student's Brain , most of the lessons out there for art they skip that considration and they go directly to explaining the last experiance they have acquired and forgetting explaining the first steps they followed to reach to that point of knowldge which makes their lessons more like " how to draw a face" and after watching it the student will copy and draw only that same face for the rest of his life :D i believe that art is a cumulative science you never understand what's over the surface unless you had dived into the deep at least once. so what about someone you are trying to explain to him what's over the surface ! will wait 2 more years :) thx for the books link and btw i'm advanced perspective user the best books in art and perspective i had read are books back from 1800 -1900 : just one perspective plate of theirs is worth 100 books of nowadays books i'm just looking to Add more and filling the empty holes in my art knowledge's pillar

Thank you for the kind words Mizo! Indeed, that is one reason why I'm taking so long - I work to see it from "the student's brain" because I found perspective so hard and wished someone would make it easier. Your words encourage me, and I am on it...!

welcome, through my perspective study since 2005 which is very tiny compared to you, perspective is hard and impossible and can make student frustrated only if the student started on the wrong foot and learning from wrong sources with wrong sequence in curriculum order, that's why it is very dangerous to study it as a self-taught material perspective Spells should be taught by Gandalf :P and the funny fact after learning it the right way it turned out i was familiar with the perspective since i was born and since i had started seeing the world with my eyes, it turned out i was able to recognize the perspective language long time ago but i wasn't able yet to write it on paper

Did it help you understand perspective better?

I think it's best to study them alongside each other because they are interrelated. It may not seem so - buildings and boxes seem so different from torsos and hands, but Proko is going about it in the tradition of the old masters - learning the body and how to show it "in space". You could spend a year on both subjects, more or less alongside each other, each contributing to the other.

Marshall Vandruff Thank you for your answer Marshall!!

Looking at the head as a box instantly helped me tie things together... Even though I studied the planes of the face and how to draw features before that, it was still hard to place them right. And perspective is like instant help. You don't even need to know perspective perfectly in case of the head, just know where approximately will the lines converge, but it's a big-big help. Shows how useful perspective is. I think Loomis even said that it's probably the most important subject for an artist. PS Sorry for intervening.

Max Webster Hello Max! No need to apologize, I appreciate your comment. :) Any advice and experience is useful for a beginner, thank you for sharing yours!

So true. We never did anything in 'art lessons' except mess around with paint. We were also not taught anything about evolution (UK, 1970s). I hope this has changed, but I'm not sure.

If you mean the technical quality - really low. It was shot with a home video camera in 1994 (you can see the samples in here around 21:30)... so don't buy it for polished camera work - the value is in the lessons.
