See how Peter Han moves the camera around a figure to explore dramatic foreshortening and wide-angle effects.

That video was sooooo helpful and inspiring! Thank you so much, Peter & Marshall!
Lesson Notes & free scribbles. That's what I wanted to be able to draw all along. Finally gonna be able to integrate it <3

I've always had a problem trying to understand how to incorporate perspective onto something organic like anatomy; especially on something like the forearm that Peter drew here, going towards the camera. It makes so much sense seeing him explain and do it right in front me. He makes it look so easy ;(

Yes, and for him it kind of is easy. But as he has often mentioned, years of work, on these specific skills, accumulates

An attempt without references, trying to visualise an idea.
I love it when i don't know where it came from :)

I like how you draw your figures in thin lines giving them fleeting feeling, making them in tune with your theme!

I tried to draw what Peter drew at the end but with very, very, very limited success. It is a bit frustrating to not be able to intuitively do what he does but that's probably where this course comes in, and I get it. I would especially love dearly to be able to break past the mental block that Marshall and he discuss in this video, which is being too safe with the scaling as the object gets closer to the viewer.
Also, for the last doodle here, I decided to go with the flow and the flow took me naturally to the troll scratching his butt.

You're doing admirably, valuably aware that it's tough when it's new.
The challenge ahead is to try it on something where you make your own original decisions (as you did a bit here) on something new and un-demo'd.
This lesson and the next (on cameras) will focus on that — to get you "seeing" up close views before you see them.

Marshall, thanks for sharing Master Peter Han's explanation of Foreshortening.
It's amazing to watch it develop from a rectangle, Cylinder, Scale,
Scale Change (Sense of Foreshortening), Closer Plane Position Change of the Front and Back (Strong Foreshortening), Front and Back Overlap (Extreme Foreshortening) all within 4.29mins is just brilliant. Although I haven't done much anatomy, but the explanation is easly to follow how he experimentally incorporates it into the human figure.

Yeah! Peter is an advanced Skill-Wizard, and watching him can help us see how it looks when the other skills like anatomy and style mesh with it.

This is such a good reminder to start with simple forms before details.
Brain still always overheating everytime I try to reposition a scene, but knowing that all our technical learning will help easen up this process overtime is why I'm so excited to eventually force Perspective into submission.

Yes! This 'not making sense' completely makes sense. Thank you!

Thanks for Demo. Not a fan of my last attempts, looks like I loose the form and not in a pleasing way like in the demo.
