La perspective

Perspective?

It's not always easy to visualize things while respecting the perspective of our world. So how can we approach drawing them?
Thanks to the introductory courses on perspective, you will see that there are several "tips and tricks" to make your life easier and to accurately represent the environment and thus create consistent illustrations. In addition to the lessons there will also be several practical exercises to aid your understanding and progress.

Drawing Exercise

Because understanding things primarily comes from putting them into practice, we will give you several exercises to do, at your own pace. This will enable you to put onto paper what we explain to you during the course.
These are, therefore, essential exercises for you to progress at your own pace.
