2.1 What Is Perspective, and Why Does It Matter?

There are a lot of misconceptions about perspective, but it's actually an extremely useful tool for artists. You just need to understand it to use its power! In this lesson, I'll show you what depth is and how our brain makes us see it in 2D images. Simply by being aware of this, you will be able to make your drawings more accurate. You will learn how to rotate an object in a 3D space and how to create a proper relation between the local and global axes.

Monika Zagrobelna
I'm a Polish artist with a great passion for creating new things—whether by drawing, digital painting, or photo manipulation. I have 10+ years of experience in using Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator, both for graphic design and for creating unique works of art as well. I hold a degree in graphic design, but nowadays I work as a freelance illustrator and a tutorial author. I specialize in creating realistic art, especially of animals, and I'm good at designing imaginary creatures in a realistic way. I'm a big fan of dragons and feline creatures! Because I learn the best by teaching, and I love sharing my skills with others, in my free time I like to create educational posts on my own blog. I also share the behind-the-scenes of my art on my Instagram. I consider myself an unofficial ambassador of Sketchbook Pro, a seriously underrated program for digital art, which I use every day in my work.
