Ok, I am >>3006944 , I'll make this clear to you:

Adhering to very rigorous perspective mostly doesn't fucking matter.

Relationships between objects matter, attractive shapes matter, keeping things in proportion matter.

Very rarely people stick to the heavy VP approach to perspective. Grab Steve Huston book, he explains how he eyeballs it all with the use of his pencil. Or see krenz tutorials how he takes box approach.

You don't have to even do that nowadays, if you are working digitally you can overlay grid easily or import still from 3D mockup scene that can be really done in minutes and you will also have lighting for reference.

You think Scott Robertson dude uses heavy construction that he teaches you? NOPE, look here what "hack" stuff he does to streamline the creative design process:

If you still don't believe me go to the site of that Erik Edwin Olson dude and see where being fixated on perspective alone will get you.

Those concepts aren't fucking difficult. Have in mind what perspective is and be aware of it while painting - but there's so much more to creating the depth, your pieces will suffer a lot more from bad values and edges than not aligning perfectly to VP that is waaay beyond the canvas.

Do you think NMA will add more of Olson's perspective series? The posts on people asking about it go back like two years. I know most of it is in the can already and NMA is just taking forever to drop it. pic related
