Foundation

PBC Perspective Bootcamp

Perspective is one of the most valuable skills for a concept artist. In this course, students become fluent in drawing anything in proper perspective. We will cover perspective topics including 1 point, 2 point and 3 point perspective as well as proper usage of ellipses. Developing forms and understanding curves in space will also be covered over the next 5 weeks. Focus: Understanding of perspective, ellipses and proportions. This is an essential foundation for any illustrator and concept artist.

This course is 8 weeks in duration and meets once per week for 3 hours per meeting.

Each week, the online classes are live at the specified time (PST timezone) in a private GOTO-MEETING classroom. Classes are recorded and students can rewatch via stream for the duration of the term. Class links, teachers notes, class recordings along with homework submission will be hosted on a private class DISCORD. The DISCORD link will be sent approximately 5-7 days prior to your class start date to the registered email address.
