LESSON NOTES
What's in Premium?
I will show you the single most important takeaway from perspective class. You always need to know where your horizon line is. I use it as a compositional tool to evoke specific emotions in a scene.
In this lesson, I break down the four main camera shot options based on horizon line placement. You will learn how a middle horizon creates a calm feeling and a low horizon makes subjects look epic or intimidating. I also explain how a high horizon gives the viewer power and a tilted angle implies chaos or movement. Even if you sketch loosely without a strict grid, placing your horizon line correctly will instantly improve your storytelling.

Always know where your horizon line is.
It acts as a compositional tool to evoke specific emotions. Shifting the camera angle changes the mood of your illustration from a peaceful scene to an intimidating epic view or a chaotic Dutch angle.
Honestly, this was highly in depth review on how to use horizen lines in our drawings. I actually learned a bit from watching this lecture. REal fun excercise to watch.
Would you say a good exercise would be to plot out some thumbnails like this with an adjective in mind and see how many scenes can you come out with that match that word? Or even having this little example sheets next to you to analyze the composition of your favorite artist?

I would definitely say that!
The "adjective in mind" can evolve into a more specific and visual noun to give us specific and visual ideas... which we will take up in a composition course.
The "little example sheets" get us paying attention to how our favorite artists get their effects, emotionally, with such simple elements as angles of lines!
When this course is done, I hope for us to pursue such skills.
Thanks for your question, Carlos. An exciting prelude!
