“Perspective”

"I was actually going to use it as a question in my From the Drawing Board column in Creative Artist magazine but quite quickly realised there was really far too much in it to do justice in one Q&A paragraph."

I was actually going to use it as a question in my From the Drawing Board column in Creative Artist magazine but quite quickly realised there was really far too much in it to do justice in one Q&A paragraph so decided to actually attack it in earnest here instead. I’ve got some pretty funny ideas concerning perspective (probably not surprising anyone there) and how it all ties in with original freehand.
