FIRST OF ALL!
If you have not completed the previous 4 courses in this series, DO THAT FIRST!

Each of them is preparatory for this final capstone project series. You will be able to engage with this course more confidently if you have produced high level projects there first. Isometric Diorama is where you create the required reference for this course and you will need to have it available so you can create the compositions in this course.

Welcome to Perspective and Lenses!

This is the capstone project of this series of perspective drawing courses. In this course you will apply all prior experiences in order to use your Isometric Diorama to create original compositions using from your viewers' point of view letting you explore the places only you can imagine!

Below you can see some examples of former students' work where they used the principles you learn in the course to master this skill.

By understanding the relationship of the viewer to the environment, you create a camera in your head that allows you to visualize anything you can imagine.

Please share your progress with me!
