Struggling with drawing in perspective? Other courses seem too complicated and you feel you can’t achieve results?
SECTION 1
BASIC ONE POINT PERSPECTIVE SKETCHING will focus on creating simple shapes that will be easy to draw and provide you with the success you need to start sketching in perspective.
I’ll take you through a step-by-step approach where you can follow along with the videos to help you gradually improve your drawing abilities from basic shape construction to more interesting forms.
After completing the exercises, you will have a stronger grasp of your one-point perspective ability.
Use these techniques as a daily exercise and you will see a dramatic improvement in your sketches.

ONE POINT PERSPECTIVE LANDSCAPE: DRAWING A LIGHTHOUSE
This course expands on the BASIC ONE POINT PERSPECTIVE SKETCHING course by providing you with some realism to your sketches.
