How To Draw Figures in Perspective

Рет қаралды 1,019,942

This video is all about drawing figures in perspective. Starting with a simple figure in perspective, we add other figures into the scene, explore working with different planes, seated figures along standing figures, and finish with a drawing of figures populating a city street.
