  • 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.

      the guidelines are so the body can be accurate relative to perspective. you can practice figures without the guidelines but when you wanna start drawing them in a 3d space then this is the way to do it.
