      Oh my goodness. I just realized everything I learned about solving optics problems in Physics applies to my perspective problems and think I solved a composition! Mind blown.

      Thanks to that Mastering perspective class and the careful graphs of my youth!

      I've spent hours trying to adjust camera angles and five minutes into the video I just "see" the missing point. So glad I got the subscription. I feel like it's really helping me learn how to think for illustration and construction. 💕

      Was worth it to do the life drawing stuff to learn accuracy first but feel like this is really helping!

      Done fangirling. 😛

            Do you think this is maybe also to do with something Sean McCabe at SeanWes refers to as the Power of Seven, whereby you need to hear something at least 7 times before it clicks and you fully understand it?

            It's just, I finished the Mastering Perspective course last week and I am still feeling arghhh about my understanding of perspective. Took me so long to finish this one as well, like months, as I started to almost fear sitting down to studying … I found it really really hard studying perspective in a way that I don't normally find with learning other areas of Art.

            It is funny though, because a few nights after I finished the course and exercises etc, I sat down to do some perspective sketches and while I felt like I had really struggled with the course, I realised I had actually learnt a lot more than I thought. I think If I replayed this course, I would learn a ton more … maybe if I reply it seven times, I can have a breakthrough like you too 🙂
