Thanks so much Marshall on bringing Phil onto us and get to chat about how he got to his job while learning Perspective. This was really insightful to listen to of how he got to where he is now. I am loving these type of videos with the special guests included in the course. They are tons of fun to listen to. Interview is so inspiring truly.

I'm really enjoying these special guest speakers/sessions. It is so helpful hearing how other artists think and how they have honed their process over time.

Love how this course is touching on HOW and WHEN perspective is used to tackle creative challenges by professionals. I've always seen perspective as this unfathomable and secretive thing, but here it is slowly being revealed. Love love loved the insight into industry practice and pipeline.

It’s fascinating to see the different processes and how various tools are used. I would have loved to see the entire workflow, from the thumbnail stage to the final Maya model.
Here are my notes from the lesson. One thing I want to research further is how to transform a 2D silhouette into something 3D. What should we consider when creating an interesting silhouette? For example, design principles like big, medium, and small shapes.

A few years back, when i followed Marshall's first Perspective Course i also watched Phil's Videos on Youtube about drawing and constructing plants and environments. Didnt know you guys knew each other. I also watched Proko and Draw-a-Box ( Which was build by a Student of Peter Hans Workshops i think). Small world.
A long time ago i "downloaded" Maya and some videos from Alex Alvarez, because i saw some cool 3d images in a magazin. Alex is an awesome instructor but what i learned was setting up maya, pushing buttons and nudging vector points and to hate my small 15" Monitor. Maya was completly useless to me. I should've focused on perspective and composition and shape language because that was what i liked in those images.

His whole vibe through his pieces, even the ones with heavy dropping lines, seems like it always carries a fun/lighthearted emotion. Really enjoyed his process even if I will never fully understand Maya and other 3d modelers.
