>>3236649

Artist of >>3236525 and >>3236601

"Technically" 4-5 years, but more like ~3 of solid discipline and practice

I only learned and began to understand the importance of perspective in my last year of art school (it was a shit school for the major and I talk about why in >>3237910 ). Learning how to be "fluent" in shapes and perspective allows you to use it like math to draw almost anything, and check your shapes along the way. Drawing was painful and confusing without it.

Pic related: A pen drawing of some cars we passed while on a road trip. No photographs used.

Anyone who says perspective is not an absolute necessity for representational drawing is either a liar or a fraud. Don't trust them, and keep your money far, far away.
